Question

Suppose that the price of flour used to produce bagels increases. Hence the equilibrium price of a bagel​ ________ and the equilibrium quantity​ ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Increase , increase

Explanation:

A decrease in the supply of a product increases in its price. Reduced supply means many buyers competing for the few available products.  The prices of goods or services are determined by the intersection of the demand and supply curves. There is an indirect relationship between supply and price of quantity supplied when demand is constant. A reduced supply results in high prices while an increase in supply causes low prices.

As prices increase, suppliers will want to supply more to make profits. Constant demand and a high price will thus lead to an increase in equilibrium quantity.
