Question 59 / 96:  If supply increases while demand decreases, what can we say about the change in (equilibrium) price? What about the change in (equilibrium) quantity?
Answer: 

The equilibrium price will definitely drop, because both

changes point in that direction. However, we don't know what

will happen to the equilibrium quantity, because the supply

shift tends to increase it, while the demand shift tends to

decrease it. Without more information we don't know which

effect will dominate.
