Theories and Predictions
We need to be able to predict the consequences of
alternative policies, andevents that may be outside our control
The mental tool we use to make such predictions is called a theoryA theory is of no use if its predictions are inaccurate

We need a theory of prices
The theory of demand and supply is a simple example of an economic theoryIt can be used to make predictions about the price and quantity of some commodityIn a free-market economy, most economic decisions are guided by pricesTherefore, without a reliable theory of prices, you will get nowhere in economic analysis

Assume perfect competition• The theory of supply and demand assumes that commodities are traded in
perfectly competitive markets• A perfectly competitive market is a market in which
– there are many buyers– many sellers– and all sellers sell the exact same product
• As a result, each buyer and seller has a negligible impact on the market price

Demand
Quantity demanded is the amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchaseDemand is a full description of how the quantity demanded changes as the price of the good changes.

Law of Demand
The law of demand states that the quantity demanded of a good falls when the price of the good rises, and vice versa, provided all other factors that affect buyers’ decisions are unchanged
SUPPLY AND DEMAND8
![Page 9: Supply demand assignment help](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5444b73fafaf9fa4098b4a7e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“provided all other factors … are unchanged”
That’s an important phrase in the wording of the Law of DemandThe quantity demanded of a consumer good such as ice cream depends on
The price of ice creamThe prices of related goodsConsumers’ incomesConsumers’ tastesConsumers’ expectations about future prices and incomesNumber of buyers, etc
The Law of Demand says that the quantity demanded of a good is inversely related to its price, provided all other factors are unchanged

Why Might Demand Increase?How can we explain the difference in Catherine’s behavior in situations A and B?Why does she consume more in situation B at every possible price?

Shifts in the Demand Curve• Consumer Income
– As income increases the demand for a normal good will increase– As income increases the demand for an inferior good will decrease
• Prices of Related Goods– When a fall in the price of one good reduces the demand for another good, the
two goods are called substitutes– When a fall in the price of one good increases the demand for another good, the
two goods are called complements

The Law of Demand—Explanations
There are two ways to explain the Law of Demand
Substitution effectIncome effect

Substitution Effect
When the price of a good decreases, consumers substitute that good instead of other competing (substitute) goods

1. When the price of Coke decreases…
Pepsi
2. Consumption of Pepsi decreases…
3. Consumption of Coke increases

Income Effect
A decrease in the price of a commodity is essentially equivalent to an increase in consumers’ income
SUPPLY AND DEMAND16
![Page 17: Supply demand assignment help](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5444b73fafaf9fa4098b4a7e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lower Prices = Higher Income
Situation A
Price of an Apple $1.00
Price of an Orange $2.00
Income $10.00Situation B
Price of an Apple $1.00
Price of an Orange $2.00
Income $20.00
Situation C
Price of an Apple $0.50
Price of an Orange $1.00
Income $10.00
SUPPLY AND DEMAND 17
If prices fall, Situation A becomes Situation C.
If income rises, Situation A becomes Situation B.
Q: Which change is better?
A: They are both equally desirable. A fall in prices is equivalent to an increase in income.

Income Effect
Consumers respond to a decrease in the price of a commodity as they would to an increase in incomeThey increase their consumption of a wide range of goods, including the good that had a price decrease

Law of Supply
The law of supply states that, the quantity supplied of a good rises when the price of the good rises, as long as all other factors that affect suppliers’ decisions are unchanged
SUPPLY AND DEMAND23
![Page 24: Supply demand assignment help](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081412/5444b73fafaf9fa4098b4a7e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Law of Supply—Explanation How can we make sense of the numbers in Ben’s supply schedule?The best guess is that his costs must be something like the cost schedule below.
A specific ice-cream cone
It’s cost ($)
1st 0.75
2nd 1.35
3rd 1.75
4th 2.30
5th 2.85
6th 3.10SUPPLY AND DEMAND 24
In this way, the Law of Supply follows from the assumption of Increasing Costs (or, Diminishing Returns)

Anything that reduces production costs, shifts supply to the right.

Shifts in the Supply Curve…
… are caused by changes inInput pricesTechnologyNumber of sellers (short run)
The market supply will shift right ifRaw materials or labor becomes cheaperThe technology becomes more efficientNumber of sellers increases

Interaction of demand and supply
We have seen what demand and supply areWe have seen why demand and supply may shiftNow it is time to say something about how buyers and sellers collectively determine the market outcomeTo do this, we assume equilibrium
SUPPLY AND DEMAND28
