Suppose an economic boom drives up wages for the sales representatives who work for cell phone companies. This will cause the: O demand for cell phones to increase, and both the price of cell phones and the quantity of cell phones traded would rise. O supply of cell phones to increase; the price of cell phones would decrease and the quantity of cell phones traded would rise. O demand for cell phones to decrease, and both the price of cell phones and the quantity of cell phones traded would fall. O supply of cell phones to decrease; the price of cell phones would increase and the quantity of cell phones traded would fall.

Exam practice: Using appropriate demand diagrams, explain the impact on the demand for Apple smartphones in the following cases: 1. An increase in the price of Apple smartphones. 2. An increase in the price of Samsung smartphones. 3. An increase in consumer incomes. 4. A successful advertising campaign promoting Samsung's latest smartphones. The meaning of supply: Supply refers to the ability and willingness of firms to provide goods and services at various price levels. Firms will have more incentives to supply their products at higher prices. The higher the price, the higher the profits they can earn. There are several reasons for this relationship: 1. Terms and conditions: Higher prices allow firms to negotiate better terms and conditions. 2. Existing firms: Existing firms can expand their production capacity if the higher price allows them to do so. 3. New firms: Higher prices attract new firms to enter the market and increase production.
