State why each question is wrong and each graph

Answer 1

The correct answer is b) A rise in the price of pork.

This is because pork is a substitute good for beef hamburgers and when its price increases, people will substitute it for the beef hamburger. Therefore, this will increase the demand for beef hamburgers, hence causing the demand curve to shift to the right.

 

This is displayed by the below graph:

a, c and d are incorrect because:

A decline in price of cattle will increase the quantity of beef supplied thereby leading to a movement along the demand curve.

A decline in price of hamburger will increase its demand thereby leading to a movement along the demand curve.

A decrease in income will reduce the demand for beef hamburger thereby shifting the demand curve to the left.
