Directions: Analyze the problem carefully. In December, the price of hamon rises and the number of hamon
sold also rises. Is this a violation of the law of demand? Justify your answer.
No, this is not a violation of the law of demand. It is not only a shift in the demand
curve. The demand for "Hamon" rises in December, leading the curve to move to the right.
This raises the price of Hamon and also the quantity of Hamon sold. Since it is in December
and is seasonal, Hamon's has strong sales.
As a consumer, I can sustain my needs despite the challenges in the market by buying things just when
they are needed. I will be wise in terms of deciding on which items should I buy and will practice financial
discipline. I will not have an irrational desire to go window shopping and end up purchasing high-end items that
are not necessary. I will always keep in mind to prioritize my basic needs and stick to them. I should stick to the
consumption limits in my essential needs or commodities. I will utilize my money to satisfy my needs at an
affordable possible cost.
