Q

does change in quantity demand mean a change in demand

A

no, the quantity demand could change from a price change, this is just a movement along the demand graph, the price change results in a quantity demand change, a change in demand is from something else; income change or population change m

Q

market supply curve direction

A

msupply means upward because the price and quantity supplied are directly related, if prices increase the producer will want to sell more

Q

what happens to supply curve if price increases

A

mthe quanity supplied will increase because they have more money and they are willing and able to sell more
so it will increase

Q

what happens to supply curve if prices decrease

A

mthe quantity supplied decreases because producers are less willing and able to produce as much at lower prices

Q

market equilibrium

A

mquality demanded is equal to quality supplied and it is an intersection on the graph. this means there’s no surplus or shortage of quantity

Q

what happens to demand and supply curves on same graph when there is a decrease in price

A

m-the decrease in price allows more consumers to buy the product increasing the qd, however decreasing the price decreases the amount of qs suppliers are willing to produce so qs will decrease
if qd is greater than qs there will be a shortage, so then prices will start to rise, but not as many consumers can afford it so less buy as the graph reaches equilibrium again
low price=shortage=price increase

Q

what happens to demand and supply curves on the same graph when there is in increase in price

A

mquantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded because people are less willing and able to buy product, there will be a surplus, too many produced therefore prices will lower to get rid of surplus

22
Q

substitution products

A

mdemand varies in relation to a change in price to a similar product; competitive products.

23
Q

inferior products

A

mdemand will decrease as a result in income increase — increase when income decreases (cheap shit)

24
Q

normal products

A

mdemand will increase if income increases vice versa

25
complementary products
m purchased together demand related , increased price of one decrease demand of other
26
2 ways income effects demand (products)
minferior, normal
27
determinants of demand
m1. tast/preference 2. income: normal goods, inferior goods 3. price of related goods : substitutes , compliments 4. future expectations 5. population 6. income distribution 7. age distribution
28
2 ways related products effect demand
msubstitution products, complementary products
29
how does income effect demand
mnormal goods: Y increase- demand increases and when Y or income decreases the demand decreases (lobster, nice things) inferior goods, Y increase- demand decreases and when Y decreases the demand increases (ramen noodles)
30
how does price of related goods and services effect income
msubstitutes : price increase, increases demand for your product price of substitute decreases, decrease in demand for your product coke price increase- people bye pepsi, coke price decrease people by coke complementary products: increase in price, decreases the demand in the other product, and a decrease in price increases demand for the other product ex:tuition prices increase, not as many go to school therefore the demand for textbooks decrease
31
what does decrease in demand cause
m*initial surplus, not as many people are willing and able to purchase at current price, the demand curve has shifted to the left, therefore the equilibrium price will be lower.
32
what does decrease in demand mean for the demand curve
mthat the price will decrease and the quantity demanded will also decrease the curve shifts to the left because both of these values decrease
33
how do future expectations influence demand
mprice increase P tomorrow= increases D today decrease in P tomorrow = decreases D today income increase Y tomorrow= increase in D today decrease Y tomorrow= decrease D today
34
how does population influence demand
mmore people= increase in D
35
how does income distribution influence demand
mincrease poors income= increase in D for normal goods and decrease in D for inferior goods
36
how does age distribution influence demand
mincrease age= increase D (canes, dentures) | decrease in age= increase D (vape pens, skate boards, baggy t-shirts, gothic makeup products)
37
determinants of supply
``` m-price of resources -weather -business tax -business subsidie -technology -number of suppliers expectations of the future -price of substitutes ```
38
how does price of resources influence supply
mP increase in resources= decrease S P decrease in resources = increase S ex: price of gold increases, the amount of gold necklaces will be decreased
39
how does weather influence supply
mpoor weather = decrease in supply (therefor later on a price increase) good weather= increases supply
40
how do business taxes influence supply
mincrease tax= decrease supply | decrease tax= increase supply
41
how does technology influence supply
mif it decreases the price to produce the product it will increase the supply
42
how does number of suppliers influence supply
mincrease of number of suppliers increases supply | decrease in number of suppliers decreases supply
43
how do expectations of future prices influence supply
mincrease in P tomorrow decreases supply today decrease in p tomorrow increases supply today
44
how does price of substitutes of production influence supply (not the same as substitute products)
mthis means that companies would make other products instead of the ones they are making P increase for product sold(output)= decrease S of other product P decreases for product output = increase S of other product ex if the p decreases for barley, a farmer will plant more rye to make more money
45
how to find equilibrium algebraically
``` mthis is when Qs=QD so solve equation for QS and QD and solve for P 1. solve demand function for QD 2. solve supply function for QS 3.set QS=QD and solve for P 4. sub p into one question to find Q ```
46
how to find change in demand algebraically
m1. solve for equations qd and qs | 2. add or subtract the change in quantity to find the new qd or qs then set equations to qs= qd and solve for p
47
if quantity demanded is 40 | and quantity supplied is 60 what is the quantity traded at a certain price
mthe quantity traded will be 40 there will be a 20 surplus, even though these products are produced doesn't mean people will buy them if they are not willing or able to
48
what is the quantity traded of the quantity demanded is 200 and the quantity supplied is 100 at a certain price
mthe quantity traded will be 100 because there's only 100 products supplied and the extra 100 can't be pulled out of thin air. this will result in a shortage which will drive the price up, the shortage will be of 100
49
increase in demand- demand curve
mshifts to the right, people are wanting more for each price | *equilibrium increases
50
decrease in demand - demand curve
mshifts to the left, for the same amounts of money people are buying less equilibrium decreases
51
increase in supply-supply curve
mshifts to the right, more is supplied at the previous points this decreases the price because a surplus will be created
52
decrease in supply-supply curve
mshifts to the right, less supply can result in a shortage, so price will increase-equilibrium
53
what depends on price
mqd and qs depend on price -people won't buy if too much, therefore price determines qd -sellers won't sell if the price is too low therefor price determines qs this is why you have to write functions as qs= a+bp and qd= a+bp
