Suppose after the semester ends, you take a trip to an Island of Vieques. Upon arriving at the island, you make a stop at one of

the markets and notice that everyone is carrying around jars full of cowry shells. You also notice the person in line in front of you just paid for a twelve-pack old Milwaukee beer with 8 cowry shells. Someone else just bought a Whopper Pizza Combo for 6 cowry shells. Thinking back to your economics class (as painful as that may be), you would conclude that
a) this is a barter economy.
b) those cowry shells are serving as money.
c) cowry shells are valueless.
d) cowry shells soup is a delicacy.

worty [1.4K]

Answer: There will be a surplus at the increased price.

Explanation: Acc. to the law of demand as the price of a good rises the quantity demanded for the good will fall. This is represented by a movement up along the demand curve.

At the increased price, there will be a surplus in the market given by Q's - Q'd.

Eventually, the surplus will lead to a fall in the price of pants till demand for the good is equal to its supply.

Total COGS = $17,180
