Study Notes

Definition of Demand

Demand is the quantity of a good or service that buyers are willing and able to purchase at different price levels over a specific time frame.
Demand encompasses not only desire but also factors such as purchasing power and willingness to pay.

Components of Effective Demand

Effective demand consists of three main elements:
- Desire to purchase a product.
- Financial means to afford it.
- Willingness to spend the financial resources.

Characteristics of Demand

Effective demand influences economic analysis and business decisions.
Quantity demanded is always linked to a specific price point.
Different prices lead to varying quantities of a commodity being demanded.

Demand Flow Concept

Demand is a continuous flow rather than a one-time purchase; it reflects ongoing purchasing behavior.
It is expressed in units over time, e.g., specific quantities per day or week (e.g., one thousand dozens of oranges per day).

Summary of Demand

Demand represents the various quantities of a good or service that consumers are willing to buy in a given market, influenced by price, income levels, and prices of related goods.
