Explanation / Answer

Ans14) the correct option is b) the demand for fresh cream will decrease and the demand for waffle will increase. Since the price of ice cream fell the people will start consuming more ice cream rather than fresh cream. Waffle is consumed with ice cream so demand for waffle will also increase

Ans15) the correct option is b) demand for screwdrivers has decreased. When demand decreases the demand curve shifts to the left and equilibrium price and quantity decrease.

Ans16) the correct option is inelastic demand. The overproduction has occurred due to the inelastic demand.

Ans17) the correct option is d). If the price elasticity of the demand for bread is less than one, a decrease in the price of bread will lower the total revenue of the suppliers of bread. The change in price will lead to a smaller change in quantity demanded.
