Basic Principle - Only the change in price of Big Mac burgers will cause a change in demand to have movement along the curve else curve shift will happen because of exogenous factors.

A. Price of substitute goods decrease will cause lowering of demand of Mac burgers therefore demand curve will shift leftwards.

B. Since vouchers will make price of Big Mac lower therefore demand will increase and movement along the curve will happen.

C. Price of complementary goods have increased therefore demand for burgers will reduce and demand curve will shift left.

D. Considering both as substitute goods, price increase of chicken will lead to increase in demand of Big Mac. Hence, demand curve will shift rightwards.

E. Increase in income will cause demand of burgers to increase thereby resulting in rightwards shift of demand curve.
