A: point where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded.
B: horizontal intercept of the demand curve.
C: vertical intercept of the supply curve.
D: horizontal intercept of the supply and the demand curves.
A: point where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded.
B: horizontal intercept of the demand curve.
C: vertical intercept of the supply curve.
D: horizontal intercept of the supply and the demand curves.
举一反三
- If the market price of a good is below the equilibrium price ______ A: quantity demanded Hill exceed quantity supplied, resulting in a shortage. B: quantity demanded Hill exceed quantity supplied, resulting in a surplus. C: quantity supplied will exceed quantity demanded, resulting in a shortage. D: quantity supplied will exceed quantity demanded, resulting in a surplus. E: the supply curve will shift to the left and the demand curve will shift to the right.
- A straight-line demand curve with negative slope intersects the horizontal axis at 200 tons per week. The point on the demand curve at which the price elasticity of demand is 1 corresponds to a quantity demanded A: of 0 tons. B: of 100 tons. C: of 200 tons. D: that would be negative if a negative quantity demanded were possible.
- The slope of the demand curve is not the same as the price elasticity of demand because the slope of a demand curve ( ) A: compares percentage changes in quantity demanded and price. B: compares absolute changes in quantity demanded and price. C: obeys the law of demand. D: is not constant when the demand curve is linear.
- The supply curve for bonds has the usual upward slope, indicating that as the price _________, ceteris paribus, the _________ increases. A: falls; supply B: falls; quantity supplied C: rises; supply D: rises; quantity supplied
- A price that is higher than the equilibrium price ( ) A: The producer cannot recover the production cost at this price. B: At this price, the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity<br/>demanded. C: Consumers are willing to purchase all products at this price. D: Demand is greater than supply at this price.
