Yes, because consumers paying a price above the economically efficient price.

If, in response to an increase in the price of chocolate, the quantity demanded of chocolate decreases economists would describe this as

a decrease in quantity demanded

Refer to the figure above. A change in the budget constraint from B1 to B2 indicates:

a decrease in the price of sweaters

Refer to Figure 3-4. If the current market price is $10, the market will achieve equilibrium by

In 2004, hurricanes damaged a large portion of Florida's orange crop. As a result of this, many orange growers were not able to supply fruit to the market. At the pre-hurricane equilibrium price (i.e., at the initial equilibrium price), we would expect to see

a shortage of oranges

average fixed costs

Refer to Figure 11-8. Which of the following could explain why the United States and China use different input combinations to produce a given quantity of cotton and yet, each country produces that quantity at the lowest possible cost?

because the prices of inputs are not the same for the two countries: labor is relatively lower-priced and capital is relatively higher priced in China
