Study Notes
Supply and Demand Shifts
- Supply shifts right: When producers are willing to offer more goods at each price level, supply shifts to the right.
- Supply shifts left: When producers offer fewer goods at each price level, supply shifts to the left.
- Demand shifts right: When consumers want more goods at each price level, demand shifts to the right.
- Demand shifts left: When consumers want fewer goods at each price level, demand shifts to the left.
Factors Affecting Supply and Demand
- Higher interest rates reduce demand for housing: This shift left in demand occurs because it makes mortgages more expensive.
- Improved wheat-growing technology increases supply of wheat: This shift right in supply occurs because more wheat can be produced at each price level.
- Poor climate conditions reduce supply of wheat: This shift left in supply occurs because it negatively impacts wheat yields.
- Seasonal supply increases reduce prices of fresh vegetables: This shift right in supply occurs due to greater harvests, leading to a surplus.
- Increased demand raises the equilibrium price: This causes suppliers to offer more products at the higher price, resulting in a movement up along the supply curve.
- Increased cost of building houses reduces supply of houses: This shift left in supply occurs because builders are less able to supply houses at each price level.
- Falling gas prices reduce demand for central heating oil: This occurs because consumers switch to gas-fired heating, resulting in a movement down along the existing supply curve.
- Taxes raise production costs reduce supply of butter: This shift left in supply occurs because producers are less willing to supply butter at each price level.
- New technology decreases oil refining costs increases supply of oil: This shift right in supply occurs because it reduces the cost of production.
- Rising price of non-dairy spreads increases demand for butter: This shift right in demand occurs because consumers switch to the cheaper alternative.
- Stricter bank loan policies reduce demand for houses: This shift left in demand occurs because fewer people can afford loans.
- Improved transport links increase demand for houses: This shift right in demand occurs because it increases the desirability of an area for living.
- Relaxed housing development restrictions increase supply of houses: This shift right in supply occurs because it makes it easier for builders to construct houses.
- Economic growth in Asia increases demand for wheat: This shift right in demand occurs because the rising income levels allow greater consumption.
- Bumper crop seasons increase supply of strawberries: This shift right in supply occurs because more strawberries can be produced at each price level.
- Poor wheat harvest reduces supply of bread: This shift left in supply happens because less wheat results in less bread being produced.
- Rising bread prices decrease demand for butter: This shift left in demand occurs because consumers purchase less bread and therefore less butter.
- Expected future rise in butter prices increases demand for butter: This shift right in demand occurs because consumers stock up on butter in anticipation of higher prices.
- Poor weather at home increases demand for holidays: This shift right in demand happens because people seeking better weather will travel more.
- Invention of cholesterol-free butter increases demand for butter: This shift right in demand occurs because more people find it appealing.
- Higher exchange rates decrease supply of holidays: This shift left in supply happens because it increases costs for tour operators, limiting their ability to offer holidays.
- Rising rice prices increase demand for bread: This shift right in demand occurs because consumers switch to a cheaper alternative.
- Rising yogurt demand has no effect on butter prices: These are separate products with no direct relationship.
