Answer:

If a company increases its final goods inventory level, that will increase the country's GDP even if the goods are not sold during the current period (they will be sold in future periods). Increases in inventory level are considered part of Investment component of the GDP.

If the inventories are not sold during the year (2018) and if they continue to be unsold during part of 2019, that will negatively affect the GDP because fewer goods will be purchased to replenish these inventories and the market price of the goods will also decrease. The market price of goods is determined by the supply and demand. If the supply is much higher than the demand and inventories start to pile up, their price will decrease in order to increase the quantity demanded. If the volume of the goods in inventory is significant enough, this should lower the inflation rate.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Quantity will rise, and the effect on price is ambiguous.

Explanation:

Music compact discs are normal goods. There is a positive relationship between the demand for the normal goods and the income of the consumers.

If the compact disc players become cheaper to produce then as a result all the producers start producing music compact discs and this will increase the supply of music compact disc. This will shift the supply curve rightwards.

And if the income of the music lovers increases then as a result the demand for music compact discs increases. This will shift the demand curve rightwards.

Therefore, these changes will increase the equilibrium quantity and the impact on equilibrium price is ambiguous because that will be dependent upon the magnitude of the shift of supply and demand curve.
