Quantity demanded would increase by 1 unit.

Find the price of $15 on the demand schedule. What point does this price and quantity correspond to in the graph?

X

change in quantity demanded

a change that is graphically represented as movement along the demand curve

What does the movement from b' to b on the graph represent?

a decrease in demand

Which of the following choices could cause the movement shown in this graph?
