Answer to Question 1

The fall in the price of a computer increases the demand for computer software and the demand curve for computer software shifts rightward. A decrease in the number of sellers decreases the supply of computer software and the shifts the supply curve of computer software leftward. The increase in demand and decrease in supply both raise the price, so the price definitely rises. The increase in demand increases the quantity and the decrease in supply decreases the quantity. Hence the net effect on the quantity is ambiguous.
