Study Notes
Demand Schedule
- The quantity demanded of any good is the amount buyers are willing and able to purchase.
- A demand schedule is a table showing the quantity demanded at each price.
- If the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded will decrease.
- As the price of a good decreases, the quantity demanded will increase.
Demand Curve
- Shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded.
- It is downward sloping, indicating that as the price falls, the quantity demanded increases.
Quantity Demanded vs. Demand
- A change in the price of a good does not shift the demand curve but causes a movement along the demand curve reflecting a change in quantity demanded.
- Any factor that changes the quantity demanded at a given price, shifts the demand curve.
Factors that Shift Demand
- Income: Higher income shifts the demand curve to the right (increase in demand).
- Market Size: A bigger market shifts the demand curve to the right (increase in demand).
- Price of Substitutes: A higher price of a substitute good shifts the demand curve to the right (increase in demand).
- Price of Complements: A higher price of complementary good shifts the demand curve to the left (decrease in demand).
- Preferences: Stronger preferences for a good shifts the demand curve to the right (increase in demand).
Market Demand
- Market demand is the sum of all individual demands for a good or service.
- It is derived by horizontally summing individual demand curves.
