question 113

Multiple Choice

Suppose the demand for large (and therefore high-gasoline consumption) cars decreases sharply during an energy crisis. The most likely market adjustment would be

• B) a moderate increase in short-run prices, followed by a larger long-run price increase as the supply of large cars is depleted.
• C) lower short-run prices, which will lead to an expansion in the number of large cars sold.
• D) a decrease in the price of large cars in the short run, leading to a reduction in output, which will moderate the price decline in the long run.
