Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceleration principle suggests that an increase in demand for consumer goods (like air conditioners) can lead to a proportional increase in demand for capital goods (like the liquid refrigerant needed to manufacture them). This principle explains why Coolex Inc. would increase production of liquid refrigerant in response to rising demand for air conditioners.
