|
The relationship between quantity supplied and price is _____ and the relationship between quantity demanded and price is ____. |

|
An increase in the price of a product will reduce the amount of it purchased because: |
consumers will substitute other products for the one whose price has risen. |
|
When the price of a product rises, consumers shift their purchases to other products whose prices are now relatively lower. This statement describes: |
the substitution effect. |
|

|
By an "increase in demand" economists mean that: |

|
Other things equal, if the price of a key resource used to produce product X falls, the: |

|
If price is above the equilibrium level, competition among sellers to reduce the resulting: |
surplus will increase quantity demanded and decrease quantity supplied. |
|
With a downsloping demand curve and an upsloping supply curve for a product, a decrease in resource prices will: |

|
