30. If a product is not perishable and firms expect the market price of the product to increase in the future, then the current supply of the good                      (one word).

31. According to the law of supply, as the prices of a good increases, Supply decreases

32. A decrease in supply is shown by which of the following?

33. According to the law of supply, as the prices of a good decreases, Supply decreases

34. Which if the following describes supply and demand analysis?

35. When a surplus exists, there is a tendency for price to          in order to equate quantity demanded and quantity supplied.
