Answer:
Prices ensure an equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.
Explanation:
The price mechanism helps in the efficient allocation of resources. There are a number of functions performed by the price mechanism. Prices send signals regarding resources. An increase and decrease in prices reflect surplus and deficit.
Price balances the demand and supply of a product. Price is inversely related to demand and positively related to the supply of a product. It is determined by the interaction of demand and supply and helps in balancing supply and demand.
For instance, an increase in demand would increase the price, this higher price will motivate the suppliers to increase quantity supplied thus balancing demand and supply.
Price helps in coordinating economic activities and helps buyers and sellers in decision making. However, they do not help in equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.

Answer: Correct. When there is an increase in supply and an increase in demand, the new equilibrium quantity increases but whether the equilibrium price increases or decreases is unknown.
Explanation:
When the demand for the shoes increased, it had the effect of shifting the demand curve to the right. At the same time, with six more firms coming into the market, the supply increased as well which had the effect of shifting the supply curve right as well.
The new equilibrium as a result of these movements will see the quantity increase. However, due to the shift of both the supply and the demand curve in the same direction, it is uncertain if the price will change or not.
The general rule is that if the rise in supply is more than rise in demand then the price will decrease. If they rise by the same amount then price will remain the same. It shows therefore that if both supply and demand rise at the same time, the effect on equilibrium price is unknown.
