An increase in the demand for a good will cause

an increase in equilibrium price and quantity.

At a price of $299.95, the manufacturer of a portable gas-powered generator is willing to produce 19,000 units per quarter. At a price of $349.95, it is likely that the manufacturer will be willing to produce

more than 19,000 units per quarter.

In which instance can we observe a rise in the equilibrium price accompanied by a decline in the equilibrium quantity?

If supply declines while demand increases, and the decline in supply exceeds the increase in demand

At a price of $5.00 per doll, most stores cannot keep Beanie Baby dolls in stock because consumers buy them all as soon as shipments arrive. This implies that there

is an excess demand for Beanie Babies, and the price must rise for equilibrium to be reached

Which of the following would cause the equilibrium price of ketchup to increase and the equilibrium quantity of ketchup to decrease?

an increase in the price of tomatoes

Assume that both the demand curve and supply curve for DVD players shift to the left but the demand curve shifts more than the supply curve. As a result

both the equilibrium price and quantity of DVD players will decrease

Which of the following would cause both the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of barley (assume that barley is an inferior good) to increase?

a decrease in consumer income

A decrease in demand for eggs due to changes in consumer tastes, accompanied by a decrease in the supply of eggs as a result of an outbreak of Avian flu, will result in

a decrease in the equilibrium quantity of eggs; the equilibrium price may increase or decrease

If automobile manufacturers are producing cars faster than people want to buy them,

there is an excess supply and price can be expected to decrease.

Unionized workers may be able to negotiate with management for higher wages during periods of economic prosperity. Suppose that workers at automobile assembly plants successfully negotiate a significant increase in their wage package. How would the new wage contract be likely to affect the market supply of new cars?
