Demand is: quantity that people are willing and able to buy at various prices.
The Law of Demand: There is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demand.
What causes a "changes in quantity demanded?" - change in price
What causes a "change in demand?"
- change (Δ) in buyer's taste (advertising)
-change (Δ) in number of buyers (population)
-change (Δ) in income
-Normal Goods: goods that buyers buy more when income rises
-Inferior Goods: goods that buyers buy less when income rises
-change (Δ) in the price of related goods
-substitute goods - goods serving same purpose
-complimentary goods - goods served together
-change (Δ) in expectations
Elasticity of Demand- tells how drastically a buyer will buy
Elastic Demand- (greater than 1) when you have a product that is elastic when demand will change in product because of price
Inelastic Demand- (less than 1) demand will not change regardless (ex. Medicine, Gas, Milk)
Unit Elastic- 1
Finding % Change in Quantity
1.) New Quantity - Old Quantity
_______________________ X 100
Old Quantity
Finding % Change in Price
2.) New Price - Old Price
_____________________ X 100
Old Price
3.)PED =
% change in Q.D
_______________________
% change in Price
Supply: is quantities that producers and sellers are willing and able to produce and sell at various prices.
The Law of Supply: There is a direct relationship between price and quantity supply
What causes a "change in quantity supplied?" - change in price
What causes a "change in supply?"
-change (Δ) in technology
-change (Δ) in taxes or subsidize
-change (Δ) in # of sellers
-change (Δ) in resource prices/cost of production
-change (Δ) in weather
-change (Δ) in expectations
Equilibrium = It is the point where the supply and demand meet
Shortage = QD > QS = excess demand
Surplus = QS > QD = excess supply
Supply Formulas
TFC (Total Fixed Cost): cost that does not change no matter how much it is produced
MC (Marginal Revenue): additional income from 1 more unit of a good
TVC (Totale Variable Cost): cost that does change depending on how much it is produced
TC = TFC + TVC
MC = New TC - Old TC
AFC = TFC/Q
AVC = TVC/Q
ATC = AFC + AVC or TC/Q
You should try adding some pictures or videos to your post so that we can see what supply and demand looks like.
