Question

Suppose the demand for good X is given by Qdx = 10 + axPx + ayPy + aMM. From the law of demand we know that ax will be: less than zero. greater than zero. zero. none of the statements associated with this question are correct.

Answer 1

Answer:

less than zero

Explanation:

According to the law of demand, an increase in price reflects in a decrease in demad. That is, price and demand are inversely proportional. Since ax is associated with the price of good X, it must be negative to accurately describe that behavior in the demand function.

Thus, ax will be: less than zero.
