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.

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.
