Title: The price of a good rises and so does the quantity sold. These observations are consistent with:


1

Elasticity
2
The price of a good rises and so does the
quantity sold. These observations are consistent
with
  • An upward shift of the supply curve.
  • A downward shift of the supply curve.
  • An upward shift of the demand curve.
  • A downward shift of the demand curve.

3
With upward sloping supply, if Demand Curve
shifts up, Price and Quantity both rise.
Price
Demand curve shifts up
New Equilibrium

Quantity
4
If the supply curve shifts upwards, we expect
  • Price and quantity both rise.
  • Price rises, quantity falls.
  • Price and quantity both fall.
  • Price falls, quantity rises.

Here is the picture.

How did your clicker do today?
  • It accepted all of my answers.
  • It accepted some but not all.
  • It didnt accept any except this one.

7
If the demand for bananas is elastic and half
the banana crop is destroyed by a hurricane
  • The price of bananas rises and total revenue
    falls.
  • The price of bananas rises and total revenue
    rises.
  • Price and quantity both fall.

8
If the demand for bananas is inelastic and the
size of the banana crop increases
  • Total revenue of banana producers will rise.
  • Total revenue of banana producers will fall.
