In the article titled "California's Scrambled Eggs" the sixth paragraph reads: "This comes when egg demand is growing, in part because soaring meat prices have caused Americans to turn to other foods. Per capita consumption is expected to reach more than 260 eggs this year, the highest since 1983, according to the USDA. The poorest consumers have been hit hardest by the price spike because eggs have traditionally been a cheap source of protein".The idea that egg demand is growing, in part because soaring meat prices have caused Americans to turn to other foods, implies:

a.Eggs and meat are "substitute" products.

b.Eggs and meat are "complementary" products.

c.Eggs and meat are neither "complementary" nor "substitute" products.

d.Eggs and meat are on the same "compensated demand curve".

e.Both answers a. and d. are correct.

Which of the following would cause an unambiguous decrease in the equilibrium quantity in a market?

a.a rightward shift in supply and a rightward shift in demand.

b.a rightward shift in supply and a leftward shift in demand.

c.a leftward shift in supply and a rightward shift in demand.

d.a leftward shift in supply and a leftward shift in demand.

e.None of the combinations above will decrease the equilibrium quantity.
