During the last few years we have seen a rise in the production of natural gas in the United States. This lead to a decline in t

he price of natural gas. If we assume that the price of oil remained roughly the same, this also lead to a reduction in the ratio of the price of natural gas to the price of oil. This resulted in a substitution from oil to natural gas in some production processes. Which of the following statements is incorrect in describing this scenario (assume that all else is held constant):
A. The demand for oil changed
B. The quantity demanded of oil decreased
C. The quantity demanded of natural gas increased

Answer: The correct answer is "B. The quantity demanded of oil decreased".

Explanation: The statement "B. The quantity demanded of oil decreased" is incorrect in describing this scenario because a change in the quantity demanded would be caused by a change in the price, in this case the price of oil remained more or less the same, therefore the change is in demand, and is produced at the price of a substitute good (natural gas) low.

In a market economy, why must the government play a primary role in dealing with pollution, vaccinations, and medical research
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

The government needs to be on top of these situations because each of these factors plays a huge role in the wellness and size of a population. A market economy needs a certain healthy and large population in order to function correctly. The population needs to produce the products and services while at the same time purchasing those products and services from one another in order for the market cycle to function. If such factors as disease and pollution make people sick it will severely cripple the market economy.
