    Study Notes

    Economic Concepts: Surplus and Shortage

    • A 'surplus' occurs when supply exceeds demand, leading to excess goods in the market.
    • A 'shortage' arises when demand surpasses supply, resulting in fewer goods available than consumers want.

    Price Adjustments in Markets

    • When blue jeans lose popularity and become less fashionable, consumer demand drops, leading to a decrease in their price.
    • Suppliers raise the price of lettuce due to heavy rainfall, which can reduce supply (crop damage), thus increasing prices to balance the reduced availability.
    • An influx of cheap computers into the market can drive prices down, as increased supply meets high consumer demand, potentially leading to lower average prices for all computers.
