    Price is the determining factor of both suppy and demand?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Price is the determining factor of both supply and demand because it affects the behavior of both buyers and sellers in the market. When the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied by producers also increases as they are motivated to supply more at higher prices. On the other hand, buyers tend to demand less of a product when its price increases, resulting in a decrease in demand. Conversely, when the price decreases, the quantity supplied decreases while the demand increases. Therefore, price plays a crucial role in determining the equilibrium between supply and demand in the market.
