WAEC Agriculture 2019 Paper

Question : 48

Total: 50

Solution:

Concept:

A rise in price moves demand upward along the demand curve and reduces the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

From the demand curve, at price

\mathrm{N}1.00

, the quantity demanded is

10\mathrm{kg}

At price

\mathrm{N}5.00

, the quantity demanded is

2\mathrm{kg}

Change in quantity demanded

= 10\mathrm{kg} - 2\mathrm{kg} = 8\mathrm{kg}

So, the increase in price from

\mathrm{N}1.00

\mathrm{N}5.00

causes a decrease of

8\mathrm{kg}

in the quantity of rice demanded.

Answer:

8\mathrm{kg}
