Answer:

A. Supply of currency

B. Demand for currency

C. Neither Demand nor Supply

D. Supply of currency

E. Demand for currency

Explanation:

The supply of GBP in this case is simply determined by the domestic demand of the currency from abroad. An example of this can be seen when the United Kingdom want to import cars from say Japan. It is expected that the payment must be done in yen (¥). Hence, to make this possible, pounds (GBP) must be sold (supply).

a. In the first case John and Adam must sell pounds to buy dollars for use in Washington (Supply)

b. In the second case, the American company would have to purchase GBP to operate in London. Hence this is demand for currency.

c. In the third case, France uses the Euro and Germany also uses the Euro, hence there will be no exchange that has anything to do with buying or selling of the UK Pounds and hence it is neither demand nor supply.

d. In the fourth case, the GBP sent, must have to be sold and converted to Indian Rupee for it to be used in India by Kamran's parents, and hence this is known as supply of GBP.

e. Finally, an economics class from United States travelling to Uk would need to purchase GBP with his American dollar and hence this is part of demand for currency as it relates to the foreign exchange market for GBP.

In economics, if a good is inelastic,
Mariulka [41]

In economics, if a good is inelastic, then <u>its supply or demand is not sensitive to price changes. </u>

Changes or fluctuations in market prices does not affect the supply and the Demand of inelastic goods.

<h2>Further Explanation; </h2>
  • Inelastic goods, are types of goods whose demand and supply is not affected by changes in market prices. That is an increase or decrease in market price does not affect their supply or demand.
  • When the price of an inelastic good changes, its supply and demand is unaffected.
  • Examples of such goods include, water and food. Therefore, for inelastic goods, the consumer buying strength and habits remain the same.
<h3>Demand and supply in determination of market price </h3>
  • Demand refers to the quantity of goods or services that consumers are willing and able to buy at a particular price while supply is the quantity of goods or services that suppliers are willing to supply to the market at a particular price.  
  • One of the factor that determine market prices are the forces of demand and supply, this is based on the ability and willingness of buyers and sellers to undertake selling and buying.
  • Buying and selling occurs at an equilibrium price that is agreed upon by sellers and buyers.  
  • This means the sellers and buyers are willing to exchange a certain quantity of a commodity at this price. Thus, price depends on the demand and supply in the market.
  • However, for <u>inelastic goods</u> such as water and food, the consumer has no option than to buy them at existing prices since they are necessity goods.

Keywords; Inelastic goods, demand and supply, market price.
