1. As price falls,
Quantity demand rises 2. Goods for which demand is negatively related to income are called
Inferior
3. In the market for tea, for some consumers

Decrease
5. Movement along the demand curve for high rise apartments will be cause by a change in
Price of the high rise apartments 6. To determine the relationship between two goods, an economist would estimate

The price of diesel 8. Sugar and honey are viewed as substitutes for each other in many cooking applications. If the price of sugar rises, we would expect
The demand for honey to increase 9. Based on a survey, the income elasticity of demand for Sony MP3 Player is 0.85. This shows that Sony MP3 Plays
