MULTIPLIER

Investment multiplier
30
a table that shows that quantity demanded for a good or service at a different price level
demand schedule
31
state the law of demand
When price increases, the quantity demanded decreases. When price decreases, the quantity demanded increases, ceteris paribus
31
a graphical representation of the relationship between the price of a good or services and the quantity for a given period of time
demand curve
32
factors that influence market demand
Income, Consumer preferences, Buyer expectations, Price, Prices of related items
33
an economic measurement of the total amount of demand for all finished goods and services produced in an economy
Aggregate demand
34
formula of Aggregate Demand
Aggregate Demand=C+I+G+Nx
35
Whether interest rates are rising or falling will affect decisions made by consumers and businesses.
Changes in Interest Rates
36
As household wealth increases, aggregate demand usually increases as well.
Income and Wealth
37
Consumers who feel that inflation will increase or prices will rise, tend to make purchases now, which leads to rising aggregate demand.
Changes in Inflation Expectations
37
If the value of the U.S. dollar falls (or rises), foreign goods will become more (or less expensive).
Currency Exchange Rate Changes
38
refers to how sensitive demand for a good is compared to changes in other economic factors, such as price or income.
The elasticity of demand, or demand elasticity,
39
is a chart that shows how much product a supplier will have to produce to meet consumer demand at a specified price based on the supply curve.
Supply schedule
40
is a graphical representation of the quantity of a product that a supplier is willing to offer at any given price.
Supply curve
41
If the elasticity quotient is greater than or equal to one, the demand is considered to be
elastic
42
product is defined as one where a change in price does not significantly impact demand for that product.
inelastic
43
As the price of a product increases, the quantity of product that suppliers offer will increase, and vice versa, ceteris paribus

elastic
54
