What effect over the last decade, has the increasingly efficient and inexpensive technology of online college courses had on the college textbook market? Question 48 options: a) The demand for physical textbooks have steadily decreased, and as a result more publishing companies are having less demand for high skilled textbook editor jobs. b) The demand for textbooks has declined resulting in publishing companies increasing their demand of textbook editor jobs. c) The demand for textbook has increased as well as the supply. d) The supply for college textbooks has increased as a result there are fewer textbook publishing companies.
1.) Given the products below and the events that affect them, indicate what happens to demand and/or supply, and the equilibrium price and quantity. In each space, indicate whether the event shifts demand (D) and/or supply (S), and whether it is an increase (1) or decrease (1) in the curve. Then, indicate whether price (P) increases (1) or decreases (1), and whether quantity (Q) increases (1) or decreases (1). If the outcome is indeterminate, use "?". If nothing happens, leave the space blank. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Products and Events. Blue jeans. Blue jeans become more popular. Apples. The price of oranges, a substitute for apples, goes down.

6. What is the difference between a change in quantity demanded and a change in demand? ) of the own commodity under The fundamental determinant of demand is the (_p consideration: a change in price causes movement along the commodity's demand curve. This movement is called a (change in quantity demanded, change in demand). Decreased price leads to movement down the demand curve: There is a(n) (_increase, decrease ) in quantity demanded. Increased price leads to movement up the demand curve: There is a(n) ( increase, decrease ) in quantity demanded. In addition, there are determinants ( also called factors or shifters) of demand, which are factors that may shift the demand curve, i.e., cause a "change in demand." These are the number of buyers, the tastes (or desire) of the buyers for the commodity, the income of the buyers, the changes in price of related commodities (substitutes and complements), and expectations of the buyers regarding the future price of the commodity under…
