For those who have done economics before, if we plot the demand and supply curves on a set of Price-Quantity axis, the demand curve is the downward sloping one and the supply is the upward sloping one. Right?
I can't see why in Q14.10, in the solutions it is stated that if demand falls, the price will also fall (I believe the price will increase as we are moving to the left of the demand curve).
And similarly, I can't see why they say that if supply increases, the price falls (according to the plot described above, the price will increase).
Does anyone know the logic behind ActEd's answers to this question in the notes? Are the relationships of Demand and Supply with price different for fixed interest bonds to the standard Demand and Supply plot?
Thank you
