Study Notes
Demand and Quantity Demanded
- An increase in the price of a good or service typically results in a decrease in quantity demanded.
- The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that as more units of a good or service are consumed, the satisfaction derived from each additional unit decreases.
Price Relationships
- The relationship between price and quantity demanded is inverse: as prices increase, quantity demanded decreases. Conversely, a decrease in prices leads to an increase in quantity demanded.
Demand Shifts
- A rightward shift in demand (from D1 to D2) indicates an increase in demand for a product.
- A change in demand can occur due to factors such as preferences, the number of buyers, or the price changes of related goods (substitutes or complements).
Related Goods
- A decrease in the price of one product, like oat milk, can lead to a decrease in demand for another related product, such as almond milk. This occurs due to changes in consumer preferences.
- Demand for almond milk decreased because it is related to the price drop of oat milk, showcasing the impact of substitutes in demand analysis.
Influences on Demand
- An increase in the number of buyers for a product can shift demand to the right, indicating higher demand.
- Total quantity demanded will decrease when the price rises significantly above key thresholds, such as $50 in this case, correlating to reduced consumer willingness to purchase at higher prices.
