DEMAND AND DEMAND CURVE Flashcards
DEMAND IS
Quantity of g/s consumers are willing and able to buy
at a given price
in a give time period
what does demand have to be for it to exist
effecitve
demand being effective means
people willing and bale to buy
law of demand has what kind of relationship
inverse relationship between QD and Price
as price increases in demand waht happens to QD
decreases
and vice versa
on x axis when drawing deamnd curve what is there
price
on y axis when drawing demand curve waht is there
quantity deamdned
show law of demand on graph
axis labelled x - qd y - price
price increase p1 - p2 demand goes from q1 to q2
Price decreases p1 - p3 increase in qd from q1 to q 3
when we increase price what happens to demand curve
3 marks
we move up demand curve
get contraction in demand
see reduction in QD
ceteris paribus mean
all other factors remaining equal
ceteris paribus allows us to
isolate impact of price changes and see impact it has on qd
When we decrease price waht happens to demand curve 3 marks
move down deamnd curve
- extension/expansion of demand
increase in QD
when price changes theres ..
2 marks
change in QD by movement along demand curve
what 2 effects can we use to explain downward sloping nature of demand
INCOME EFFECT
SUBSTUTION EFFECT
Explain income effect when price increases
5 matks
If prices go up
our income cant stretch as far , as purchasing power decreases ,
we are less able to buy ,
i.e Y dont allow us to buy same Q of g/s as before
so demand contracts
vise versa
explain substitution effect when price increases
5 marks
Price of g/s increases
we demand less
As price go up other g/s become more price competitive
so we switch demand and consumption towards buying those g/s instead
hence why demand contracts for specific good /s
vice versa
substituiotn and income effect assume
ceteris paribus
when we drop ceersi paribus we allow
non price factors to affect and shift demand
Increase d - shifts d
