Answer:
The correct answer is:
Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous. (D)
Explanation:
First, note that if the price of coffee beans, used in the manufacture of coffee decreases, the price of coffee sold to consumers will decrease, because it takes a lesser amount in manufacturing than it used to, therefore this reduction in manufacturing costs is reflected in the selling price.
Next, it is hard to tell whether this reduction in equilibrium price will affect quantity demanded, because, at the same time, the price of cream ( a complementary good) increases, and since both goods are complementary, they are bought together, and the effect of the reduction in the price of coffee might not necessarily caused an increase in the quantity demanded because this effect is cancelled out by the increase in the price of cream, hence the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
The argument above is a deductive reasoning. A deductive reasoning draws a conclusion from a series of premises that are held to be true. The argument also employs no informal fallacy. The confusion lies though on the first premise if it is true.

Answer:
D
Explanation:
if the government sells off its cheese, there would be a rightward shift of the supply curve. As a result, equilibrium price would fall and equilibrium quantity supplied would increase.
Due to the government's action, there would be an excess supply of cheese over the demand for cheese. More cheese would be available for sale and less cheese would be purchased. This would lead to an increase in spoilage rates before sales
