In a rent-to-own agreement, the title to the house remains with the landlord until the tenant exercises his or her option and purchases the property. In other words, the starting point of this kind of an arrangement is a tenancy, not a house purchase transaction.
True or false: Derived demand is demand for producer resource/ labor inputs to be used indirectly to satisfy consumer demand in the production of final goods and services. Recall that improvements in the quality of a variable resource increase its marginal productivity and therefore its demand.
Demand is a multivariable function. If income and other determinants of demand such as tastes of the consumers, changes in prices of related goods, income distribution, etc., remain constant and there is a change only in price of the commodity, then we move along the same demand curve. In this case, the demand curve remains unchanged. When, as a result of change in price, the quantity demanded increases or decreases, it is technically called extension and contraction in demand. The demand curve, which represents various price quantity has a negative slope. Whenever there is a change in the quantity demanded of a good due to change, in its price, there is a movement from one point price quantity combination to another on the. same demand curve. Such a movement from one point price quantity combination to another along the same demand curve is shown in figure (4.3).
