    Study Notes

    Understanding Demand

    • Demand refers to the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given price level, during a particular period of time.

    Determinants of Demand

    • The determinants of demand include consumer preferences, income, price of related goods, advertising, and seasonality.

    The Law of Demand

    • The Law of Demand states that as the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded decreases, ceteris paribus (all other things being equal).

    Demand Curve Analysis

    • Movement along the Demand Curve occurs when there is a change in the quantity demanded due to a change in price.
    • Shift of the Demand Curve occurs when there is a change in the determinants of demand, resulting in a new demand curve.

    Elasticity of Demand

    • Elasticity of Demand measures how responsive the quantity demanded is to changes in price or other determinants of demand.
    • Elasticity is classified into three types: Elastic (high responsiveness), Inelastic (low responsiveness), and Unit Elastic (unitary responsiveness).
