Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answer 1

Answer:

a increases

Explanation:

Producers react to an increase in the demand for goods and services by increasing their output. Growth in market demand presents an opportunity for businesses to make profits. As firms attempt to meet the increased demand, they create job opportunities in the following ways.

1).  The existing companies expand their current factories or open new branches in different locations to increase output. These moves will demand extra employees to handle administrative and production duties.

2). Start-up businesses will emerge to compete with existing firms. Entrepreneurs are quick to spot market opportunities. When demand is high, new ventures will be formed to provide solutions to customers' needs. New firms create job opportunities in the economy.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Decreases

Explanation:

The demand for goods and services is directly related to the production and therefore the number of workers on industries, companies, etc. that manufacture or sell products and services. This means if the demand is high or increases more workers would be required and therefore job growth (new jobs) will increase. Similarly, if the demand for goods and services decreases fewer workers are required and it is likely some business had to close, this would lead to higher unemployment and a decrease in job growth as there would be no new jobs. Thus, as the demand for goods and services decreases, job growth decreases.
