The higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied.  The lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Demand law<\/strong>: the quantity demanded by consumers is directly related to the price of the product or service.  The lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
