1. Amplify by Simplifying
Shifting Demand and Supply Curves• Suppose that an increase in the
demand for a particular good arises. What happens to equilibrium?– Demand increases shifting the demand
curve up, out, and to the right.– At the original equilibrium price, excess
demand exists in the market.– Buyers will drive up the price to outbid
other buyers for this shortage.– As the price rises, quantity supplied rises.– The price and quantity will continue to
rise until equilibrium is reached.– In a free market, the equilibrium price
will adjust rather quickly.

Vision is King
If information is presented orally, people remember about 10 percent, tested 72 hours after exposure. That figure goes up to 65 percent if you add a picture

The Main Economic Problem
• Since all resources are scarce…• And since they could be
distributed in different ways– Give everyone the same– Leave it to Chance– Based on Need
• We need economics to find the BEST way to distribute the limited resoruces
Resources are scarce
Give everyone the same
Leave it to chance
Based on Need
