Which statement is consistent with the law of demand?

Marianna [84]

Answer: B. A reduction in market price will lead to an increase in quantity demanded.

The law of demand states that normal goods have a higher demand at lower prices, because the demand curve is downward sloping which means that the lower the price the more of it people will be willing to buy, so a reduction in market price will mean that now more people are willing to buy that good. For eg a car normally sells $80,000 and 1000 cars are sold in a month, because of technological advances the company now sells the car for $60,000 because of this decrease in price more people will be willing to buy the car and the the monthly sales will be more than a 1,000 cars because at the price of $60,000 more people will be willing to buy this car.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$4.50

Explanation:

The sunk cost is the cost that has been incurred and is unrecoverable in the process of taking a financing decision.

If the cost of a coffee cup from a local gas station cost $5.00 and the cost of refill is $0.50, the coffee is the actual element needed and from the refill, it can be estimated that it costs $0.50.

Hence the sunk or unrecoverable cost is the difference between the coffee cup and the refill cost

= $5.00 - $0.50

= $4.50
