Micro Economics: Market Equilibrium

Question:

Equilibrium price will decrease and quantity will increase in which of the following conditions?

Options:

Decrease in demand

Decrease in supply

Increase in demand

Increase in supply

Correct Answer:

Increase in supply

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: Increase in supply

  • Equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity are determined by the intersection of the demand and supply curves.
  • When supply increases (i.e., more goods are available in the market), the supply curve shifts rightward.
  • This causes the equilibrium price to fall and the equilibrium quantity to rise, as producers are willing to sell more at lower prices.
