    Study Notes

    Supply and Demand

    • A rise in the cost of raw materials shifts the supply curve to the left, indicating a decrease in supply.

    Macroeconomic Models

    • The Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply (AD-AS) model is used to depict how the quantity of total output and the aggregate price level are determined in equilibrium.

    Competitive Market

    • The unit price for a particular good in a competitive market will vary until it settles at a point where the quantity of the good that consumers are willing to buy (demand) equals the quantity of the good that suppliers are willing to supply (supply).
    • In a competitive market, supply is determined by the assumption of perfect competition, where firms produce goods and services at the lowest possible cost.

    Supply Schedule

    • A supply schedule is a table that lists the quantity of a good or service that suppliers are willing to supply at different prices.
    • A supply schedule can be depicted graphically as a supply curve, which shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied.
