Supply and demand

Are the forces that make market economies work. They determine the quantity of each good produced and the price at which it is sold.

Market

A group of buyers and sellers of a particular good or service

What is a market

The buyers as a group determine the demand for the product, and the sellers as a group determine the supply of the product

Competitive market

A market in which there are many buyers and many sellers so that each has a negligible impact on the market price.

Perfectly competitive

To reach this highest form of competition, a market must have 2 characteristics: 1. The goods offered for sale are all exactly the same. 2. The buyers and sellers are so numerous that no single buyer or seller has any influence over the market price.

Quantity demanded

Amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase

Law of demand

The quantity DEMANDED of a good falls when the when the price of a good rises, and vice versa, provided all other factors that affect buyers decisions are unchanged.

Demand

Full description of how the quantity demanded changes as the price of the commodity changes

Quantity demanded of a consumer good depends on:

- The price of ice cream.
- the prices of related goods
- consumers incomes
- consumers tastes
- consumers expectations about future prices and incomes
- number of buyers, etc

The law of demand says

That the quantity demanded of a good is inversely (negatively) related to its price, provided all other factors are unchanged

Demand schedule

Table that shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded

Demand curve

A graph of the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded. Price is on the vertical, and quantity demanded on the horizontal.

Market demand

The sum of all the individual demands for a particular good or service .

Shifts in the market demand curve

Are caused by changes in :
- consumer income
- price of related goods
- tastes
- expectations, say about future prices and prospects
- number of buyers

Shifts in the demand curve

Consumer income:
-as income INCREASES the demand for a NORMAL good will INCREASE
-as income INCREASES the demand for an INFERIOR good will DECREASE

Prices of related goods:
- when a FALL in the price of one good REDUCES the demand for ANOTHER good, the two goods are called Substitutes.
- when a FALL in the price of one good INCREASES the demand for ANOTHER good, the two goods are called Complements.

Substitutes

when a FALL in the price of one good REDUCES the demand for ANOTHER good

Complements

when a FALL in the price of one good INCREASES the demand for ANOTHER good,

Law of demand explanations

- substitution effect
- income effect

Substitution effect

When the price of a good decreases, consumers substitute that good instead of other competing (substitute) goods

Lower prices = higher income

A fall in prices is equivalent to an increase in income

Income effect

A decrease in the price of a commodity is essentially equivalent to an increase in consumers income.

Supply

Full description of how the quantity supplied of a commodity responds to changes in its price

Quantity supplied

Is the amount of a good that sellers are willing and able to sell

The law of supply

The QUANTITY supplied of a good rises when the price of the good rises, as long as all other factors that affect suppliers decisions are unchanged

Shifts in the supply curve

Caused by changes in:
- input prices
- technology
- number of sellers (short run)

The market supply will shift if:
- raw materials or labor becomes cheaper
- technology becomes more efficient
- number of sellers increases

Equilibrium

We assume that the price will automatically reach a level at which the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied

When markets are not in equilibrium

You have a surplus or a shortage

Surplus

- when price EXCEEDS equilibrium price, the. Quantity supplied is GREATER than quantity demanded
- there is excess supply or a surplus
- suppliers will lower the price to increase sales, thereby moving toward equilibrium

Shortage

When price is LESS than equilibrium price, then quantity demanded EXCEEDS the quantity supplied
- there is excess demand/shortage
- suppliers will raise the price due to too many buyers chasing to few goods, thereby moving toward equilibrium

Normal good

Increase in income will result in an increase for the demand of the good

Inferior good

Decrease in income increases the demand for the good

Substitutes

2 goods. If a decrease in the price of one good decreases the demand for another good.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has experienced two disasters. The Challenger exploded over the Atlantic Ocean in 1986, and the Columbia disintegrated on reentry over East Texas in 2003. Based on the first 113 missions, and assuming failures occur at the same rate, consider the next 23 missions. What is the probability of exactly two failures? What is the probability of no failures?

ECONOMICS

The state of Maine has a very active lobster industry, which harvests lobsters during the summer months. During the rest of the year, lobsters can be obtained by restaurants from producers in other parts of the world, but at a much higher price. Maine is also full of "lobster shacks," roadside restaurants serving lobster dishes that are open only during the summer. Supposing that the market demand for lobster dishes remains the same throughout the year, explain why it is optimal for lobster shacks to operate only during the summer.

When the rise in the price of a good causes decrease in demand for another good two called goods?

There lies an inverse relationship between the price of one complementary good and the demand for another complementary good, since the complementary goods are required to be consumed together. Thus, with the rise in price of one commodity, which is a complementary good, the demand for the other decreases.

When two goods are complements a shock that lowers the price of one good causes the price of the other good to?

a. If two goods are complements, a decrease in the price of one good will cause the demand for the other good to decrease. b. If two goods are substitutes, an increase in the price of one good causes the demand for the other good to increase.

What happens when the price of a good falls?

If the price of a good falls, the quantity demanded of that good increases. The relationship between the quantity demanded and the price of a good when all other influences on buying plans remain the same. Demand is a list of quantities at different prices and is illustrated by the demand curve.

What happens when two goods are complements?

When two goods are complements, they experience joint demand - the demand of one good is linked to the demand for another good. Therefore, if a higher quantity is demanded of one good, a higher quantity will also be demanded of the other, and vice versa.
