Solution

The answer is D. A change in the price of the good or service would not shift the demand curve. Instead, it would result in a movement along the same demand curve. The demand curve shows how the quantity demanded changes in response to the price of the good or service, all other factors being held constant. Therefore, a change in the price of the good or service itself does not shift the demand curve. On the other hand, factors like changes in income, prices of related goods, and expectations about future prices can shift the demand curve because they change the quantity demanded at each price.

Suppose in a market, there is a change in the price of a good or service. Let’s call this Scenario A. Now, suppose in the same market, there is a change in the income and preferences of customers, or a change in the prices of other goods or services. Let’s call this Scenario B. From the options given below, choose the statement that correctly captures how changes in demand will occur in both of these scenarios. In Scenario A, the demand curve remains fixed, whereas the price and the quantity demanded shift to a different point on the same curve, i.e., we observe a movement observed along a fixed demand curve. In Scenario B, the demand curve itself changes. There is a change in the quantity demanded at the same price, due to which the market shifts to an altogether different demand curve. In Scenario A, the demand curve itself changes. There is a change in the quantity demanded at the same price, due to which the market shifts to an altogether different demand curve.In Scenario B, the demand curve remains fixed, whereas the price and the quantity demanded shift to a different point on the same curve, i.e., we observe a movement observed along a fixed demand curve.In Scenario A, the demand curve itself changes.
