Laws of Demand
Goal 8
Discuss
What is a market? In a market who is the
consumer? How does the price of a
good affect the consumer?
Market
An arrangement that allows buyers and sellers to exchange things
Markets exist because no one is self sufficient and no one produces all we require to satisfy all our needs and wants.
Demand
Description› The quantities of a particular good or service consumers are willing and able to buy at different possible prices at a particular time
Demand Illustration p.1 sec. 1
Price
Quantity
As price goes up, quantity demanded goes down
D1
Discuss
How does demand and “want” or “desire” differ?
You may want or desire a new car or a closet full of clothes, but you demand these things only when you are willing and able to buy them.
Quantity Demand
The quantities of a particular good or service consumers are willing and able to buy at set prices at a particular time

Demand Schedule
How much people are going to buy at the various prices.
Ex. The price of pizza
Price Quantity
$.50
$1.00
$1.50
$2.00
$2.50
Law of Demand
As price goes up quantity goes down
As price goes down quantity goes up
People buy less of something at higher prices than they do at lower prices.
ELASTIC DEMAND: demand that is very sensitive to a
change in price goods that one might stop buying
or cut back on as price increased (SUVs, Luxury items)**on a graph this demand curve will be FLAT
INELASTIC DEMAND
demand that is not very sensitive to a change in price
goods that you would buy at any price; there are few if any substitutes for these goods.
(milk, gas, prescription drugs) **on a graph this demand curve would be very steep.

The Demand Curve
The Demand Curve slopes downward to the right because the consumer is willing and able to buy more gasoline at lower prices than at higher prices.

Supply Curve
The Supply Curve slopes upward and to the right because the producer is willing and able to sell more products at higher prices than at lower prices.
Change in Supply
Reasons for change in Supply
Cost of Inputs
Number of Suppliers
Weather
Costs of Inputs Decrease
Effect on Supply Supply Increases

SO… can you apply this knowledge?
1) Together lets decide if the following scenarios are a change in…› Input costs› Number of suppliers› Weather
2) Then decide if it will› Increase supply› Decrease Supply
Situation #1
Dick’s Sporting Goods goes out of business. What is the impact on basketballs in Charlotte?
-number of suppliers changes-Supply Decreases
Situation #2
A hurricane destroys the orange groves in Florida. What is the impact on the supply of Orange Juice?
-weather changes-Supply Decreases
Situation #3
The price of gas decreases. What is the impact of trucking companies?
-cost of inputs change-Supply Increase
Situation #4
Nike moves their factory from the U.S. to China where workers are paid less. What is the impact on the supply of Nike’s shoes?
-change in input costs-Supply Increases
Supply and Demand together
Equilibrium: the point at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal
At a point of equilibrium….
the price and quantity are balanced
the market for a good/service is stable
Disequilibrium: any price or quantity not at equilibrium
Excess Demand: when quantity demanded is more than quantity supplied
aka SHORTAGE!!!!
shortage
Excess Supply: when quantity supplied is more than quantity demanded
aka SURPLUS!!!!
surplus
A shift in the demand curve or the supply curve will result in a new equilibrium price.
Government Intervention in a Market Economy
Price Ceiling: a maximum price that can be legally charged for a good or service › (example: rent control)
Price Floor: a minimum price for a good or service› (example: minimum wage)
Inflation and Deflation
Inflation: a general increase in prices (over the years, prices rise and fall, but in the American economy, they have mostly risen)
Deflation: A substantial drop in the prices
