Question

a rightward shift of a demand curve is called a(n):
○ a. decrease in demand.
○ b. decrease in quantity demanded.
○ c. increase in quantity demanded.
○ d. increase in demand.

Explanation:

A rightward shift of the entire demand curve means that at every given price level, consumers are willing and able to buy more of the good. This is defined as an increase in demand, distinct from a change in quantity demanded (which is a movement along the existing curve caused by a price change).

Answer:

d. increase in demand.
