Simple Economics Questions - Will be a quickie
A decrease in demand for a product will cause the price of the product to fall and supply of the product to decrease.
True or False. Thanks Dunno if this is spamming or not but its an honest question lol. |

Absolutely. The demand curve shifts left which sets both the equilibrium price and quantity lower.

I'm going to say True.
A decrease in demand will cause the demand curve to shift to the left causing prices to fall and quantity to fall. This also decreases the quantity supplied. |

Decrease in demand of a product doesn't decrease supply, it decreases the quantity supplied. She may be getting caught up in her own words.

Meh, I think I have a real slim change of getting it right now. Thanks BTW |

Re: Simple Economics Questions - Will be a quickie
just fyi, a decrease in demand will never effect the supply curve. it will effect the equilibrium price and quantity sold/offered.
this should make sense because a change in the direction of one line will never effect the other line (supply curve is independent of demand curve). |

Supply and Quantity Supplied are different things, and it wasn't clear in her question on what she was looking for. Why do you think it is false? |
