Question : Which of the statement is true?
A: The demand curve slopes downward because consumers are willing to pay less and less for each additional unit consumed because they receive less value from doing so.
B: With a fall in the price of a good, consumers’ purchasing power increases. So, he/she consumes more units.
Option 1: Only A correct
Option 2: Only B correct
Option 3: Both are correct
Option 4: Both are false
Correct Answer: Both are correct
Solution :
The downward slope of the demand curve indicates that more quantity is purchased in response to falling in price. As a result, the demand for a commodity and its own price are inversely related.
This law states that as a commodity is consumed more frequently, its utility decreases with each additional unit. As a result, consumers are willing to pay less for each additional unit they buy.
Option C is correct
