Answer to Question 1

A change in a good's own, current price is said to lead to a change in quantity demanded. The movement happens along the demand curve. Changes in factors other than price can shift the entire demand curve. A change in demand happens due to changes in the prices of related goods, income, number of buyers, tastes, and expectations.

Answer to Question 2

Consumption would increase if personal taxes decreased since this would increase disposable income (total income would not have changed as a result of the taxes). An increase in transfer payment income would also similarly cause an increase in consumption.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
