B  up, the quantity demanded also goes up.

C  down, the quantity demanded stays the same.

D  down, the quantity demanded goes down.

A  the quantity demanded is in an inverse relation with prices, whereas demand is in a direct relation.

B  the quantity demanded is represented graphically by a curve and demand as a point on that curve.

C  the quantity demanded is in a direct relation with prices, whereas demand is in an inverse relation.

D  demand is represented graphically by a curve and quantity demanded as a point on that curve.

A  excess production

B  excess supply

C  not enough information provided to answer the question

D  Excess demand

A  Disequilibrium to due to an endogenous shock in the marketplace

B  excess equilibrium

C  excess demand

D  excess supply

A  Equilibrium quantity increased because the decrease in demand and supply both led to an increase in quantity.  The change in equilibrium price is ambiguous.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to increase price.

B  The change in equilibrium quantity is ambiguous.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease quantity, while a decrease in supply tends to increase quantity. The equilibrium price declined.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to decrease price.

C  Equilibrium quantity declined because the decrease in demand and supply both led to a decrease in quantity.  The equilibrium price declined.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to decrease price.

D  Equilibrium quantity declined because the decrease in demand and supply both led to a decrease in quantity.  The change in equilibrium price is ambiguous.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to increase price.

A  The equilibrium quantity increased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium price because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

B  The equilibrium price decreased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium quantity because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

C  The equilibrium price increased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium quantity because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

D  The equilibrium quantity decreased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium price because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.
