Question

If supply and demand both increase then equilibrium price will also increase. True or False

Answer 1

Answer:

This statement is false.

Explanation:

The change in the equilibrium price due to a change in in an increase in both demand and supply cannot be predicted without knowing the magnitude of the increase.

If the proportionate increase in the demand is greater than the increase in supply, the equilibrium price will increase.  

If the proportionate increase in the supply is greater than the increase in demand, the equilibrium price will decrease.  

If the increase in demand is proportionately equal to the increase in supply, the equilibrium price will remain the same.
