Answer 2

Answer:

A) increase both the quantity and price.

Explanation:

When demand increases (that is, when the demand curve shifts to the right) and supply remains constant, both the equilibrium price and the quantity increase.

The demand curve is a useful tool for predicting the possible effect of certain economic situations on the frequent consumption of goods and for understanding the qualitative behaviour of markets.

The price demand curve normally has a downward trajectory that shows how, as the price rises, consumption of the product decreases.

When the demand curve shifts to the right, it explains an increase in demand due to the variation of a factor other than price, and when the curve shifts to the left, it shows a decrease in demand also due to the variation of a factor other than price.

Shifts in the demand curve may be due to

   The increase in the population demanding the good.

   Changes in the outlook for future prices.

   Changes in consumer preferences.

   The increase in the disposable income of some consumers.
