The price and quantity at a point on the demand curve of a good are given as 10 and 50 respectively. If the price is changed to 6 and as a result quantity changes to to 65, how do you explain the change.

Solution

Correct Option: 4

When only the price of the good itself changes and quantity demanded responds, it is a movement along the same demand curve, not a shift. Price fell from 10 to 6 and quantity rose from 50 to 65, which is an extension of demand, i.e., increase in quantity demanded.
