Which one of the following statements is correct? A. A rise in the price of a good will cause the supply curve of that good to shift to the left (i.e., the supply of the good will decrease). B. A fall in the price of a good will result in a rightward shift of the demand curve, ceteris paribus (i.e., the demand for the product will increase). C. The quantity demanded of a good depends on the price and availability of the good. D. Demand is a synonym for wants. In other words, if a consumer demands a good, it simply means that he or she wants the good. E. A decrease in the prices of the factors of production used to produce a certain product will give rise to an increase in the supply of the product (illustrated by a rightward shift of the supply curve).
