Study Notes

Definition of Demand

Demand combines desire, ability, and capacity to pay for a commodity.
Desire without sufficient funds does not qualify as demand.

Importance of Willingness to Pay

A person might have both the desire and ability to pay but may lack the willingness due to perceived value.
Example: A consumer may want pizza and can afford it yet declines to purchase due to its high price.

Relativity and Subjectivity of Demand

Demand is relative to various factors, including:
- Price: A change in price can influence demand.
- Time: Demand can vary over different periods.
- Place: Location can affect demand levels for certain goods.
Demand is subjective and heavily influenced by individual preferences and circumstances.

Factors Affecting Demand

Understanding demand is essential for recognizing how different factors interact and influence purchasing decisions.
