Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

A demand curve is a graphical representation of various quantity demanded allocation at a different price level and there is a inverse relationship between the price of the commodity and the quantity demanded of that commodity.

As the price of a good decreases then this will result in an increase in the quantity demanded and on the other hand, if there is an increase in the price of the commodity then as a result the quantity demanded for that commodity falls.

Therefore, this relationship of price and quantity demand construct a downward sloping demand curve.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

This is a two part question and the answer is given in two separate headings.

Explanation:

<u>Trend Percentages</u>

Year                             2021      2020     2019     2018

Sales*                            58%       30%       22%       14%

Cost of Goods Sold**   153%      67%        66%      34%

*Sales is calculated by dividing the difference (between current Sales and Base Sales Year) by the Base Sale Year 2017 * 100. Example for 2018 the percentage is 14% [(57,000 - 50,000) / 50,000 * 100]. The same way other years have been calculated.

**Cost of Goods Sold has been calculated by dividing the difference (between current Cost of Goods Sold and Base Year Cost of Goods Sold) by the Base Year Cost of Goods Sold 2017 * 100. Example for 2018 the percentage is 14% [(40,200 - 30,000) / 30,000 * 100]. The same way other years have been calculated.

<u>Trends Favourable or Unfavourable</u>

It is noted that the trend is unfavourable for the five-year period. This is because the sales have been increasing but in comparison to the Cost of Goods Sold the rise is fairly slow. As shown in the above table where sales have increased by only 58% since its inception. However, the Cost of Goods Sold has increased rapidly and by the last trending year the rise in comparison to the base year 2017 was by 153%.
