Which of the following statements is(are) correct?
Group of answer choices
Assume that goods A and B are substitutes. Suppose a technology improvement in the production of good A and an increase in the price of good B. If everything else remains the same, in the market of good A, the equilibrium price decreases but the effect on the equilibrium quantity depends on the magnitudes of the shifts in supply and demand
Assume that goods M and N are complements. Suppose the number of sellers of good M increases and suppose an increase in the price of good N. If everything else remains the same, in the market of good M, the equilibrium price decreases but the effect on the equilibrium quantity depends on the magnitudes of the shifts in supply and demand
Suppose that on the market for good X you observed that the equilibrium price has increased. The only change that has happened in that market is that the income of the consumers has decreased. Therefore, good X is a normal good.

False - Increase in price of good B leads to increase in demand for good A. So effect on price is indeterminate.

True
Suppose that on the market for good X you observed that the
equilibrium price has increased. The only change that has happened
in that market is that the income of the consumers has decreased.
Therefore, good X is a normal good.
False - As demand increased due to increase in income, it means it
is an inferior good
Please give thumbs up.
