If a commodity index shows that the price of a commodity is continually rising, what does this indicate about the market?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

you would use a restricted approach when interest is likely to be high. The buyer needs a method of de-selecting unsuitable bidders and creating a shortlist of acceptable organisations.

For complex requirements you could use both an open or restrictive tender- the difference between the approaches is about how many bids you're likely to get rather than the complexity of it.

B) demand is exceeding supply? That's what they want us to think! I'm going with A) there is little demand in the marketplace. The man is trying to trick us, I tell you!

I'm stumped on this one. Maybe I should have paid more attention in my Econ 101 class. Or maybe I should just ask my dog - he seems to know more about economics than I do.

I'll have to go with C) there is a threat of substitution. I mean, why else would the prices be going up, other than people looking for alternatives?

But could it also mean there is a threat of substitution if prices keep rising?

I'm going with D) the marketplace is a monopoly. That's just common sense, right? If prices are constantly rising, it's gotta be a monopoly!

Clearly, the correct answer is B) demand is exceeding supply. Any first-year economics student could tell you that!

I agree with Clarinda, when demand exceeds supply, prices go up.

I think if the price of a commodity is rising, it means demand is exceeding supply.
