Question text
A significant increase in consumer
demand leads to firms hiring more
workers to expand production. How would
this change impact the goods market and
factor market in the short term?
The goods market will become
oversaturated with products, leading to
lower prices, and the factor market will
experience a decline in labour supply.
The goods and factor markets will remain
unchanged because firms only respond to
consumer preferences.
The goods market will see reduced prices
due to increased production, while the
factor market will experience a decrease
in labour demand.
The goods market will experience higher
prices due to increased demand, and the
factor market will experience an increase
in labour demand.
Feedback
Increased consumer demand drives firms
to produce more, potentially raising prices
in the goods market if supply can't keep
up.

, To meet demand, firms hire more labour
in the factor market, increasing labour
demand.

describes this change?
A decrease in the flow of government
spending.
A decrease in the stock of national debt.
