micro chapter 3 Flashcards
what are 3 non-price factors that may influence your demand for a good or service
.disposable income
.price of other goods
.personal preference
what is joint demand
demand for goods that are dependent such that they are demanded together
what is composite demand
demand for a good that has multiple uses
what is competitive demand
demand for goods that are in competition with each other
define ceterius peribus
meaning ‘all other thing equal’ and is used when we examine one variable while holding other influences
what is the law of demand ( and therefore the demand curve relationship)
there is an inverse relationship between quantity demanded and the price of a good or service ceteris paribus
what does the demand curve actually show
a graph showing how much of a good will be demanded by consumers at any given price
what will a shift in price (only) cause the demand curve to do
shift in price , ceterius paribus will cause movement along the demand curve, extension or contraction
what will a change in non-price factors ceterius paribus cause on the demand curve
it will cause a shift, moving the entire demand curve inwards or outwards
what factors cause demand curve to SHIFT (5)
.change in disposable income
.change in trends/preferences
.advertising
.changes in prices of substitute goods
.changes in prices of complementary goods
.changes in population
.seasonal factors
define a nominal good
good where the quantity demanded increases in response to an income in consumer good (organic food, luxury clothes, advanced tech)
define inferior goods
goods where the quantity of demand decreases in response to an increase in consumer income
what will happen to demand curve of normal goods when income increases
increase in disposable income will cause an outward shift
what will happen to demand curve of inferior goods when income increase
increased disposable income will shift the demand curve inwards as more people can afford other more expensive options
define consumer surplus
is the difference between the total amount that costumers are willing and able to pay for a good or service and the market value (total amount they actually pay)
