The demand for a particular good may increase or decrease due to more or less people in the market for the good. For example, before the advent of ecommerce (using the world wide web to buy and sell), most businesses sold products to people who lived in their area of the country or who ordered products from their mail order catalogs. As people began to use online shopping in greater numbers, many businesses with little or no web presence probably experienced a decline in consumers of their products due to increased competition from online businesses while businesses who quickly and effectively adapted to the ecommerce model probably saw an increase in consumers of their products. Number of buyers – # of buyers increase, demand increases; # of buyers decrease, demand decreases

One determinant of demand is the number of buyers in the particular market. The number of buyers can push the curve to the right or to the left. For example, the number of people who left Detroit, Michigan means the demand curve for homes has shifted to the left. Conversely, in Arizona, the rise in population has led to the curve to move to the right.

Please write down the following Supply and Demand Schedules; graph the supply and demand curve

On the graph paper provided, identify and label the following  Supply Curve and Demand Curve  the Equilibrium Point  Shortage and Surplus areas

Explain and illustrate on a graph how price floors create surpluses and price ceilings create shortages. c. Define price elasticity of demand and supply.

What are price ceilings and price floors?

Price Floors and Price Ceilings Adam Smith felt that the government should never interfere in the free market …

Sadly, Adam Smith was a little bit off base, we need government to rein in free markets

Government price controls occur when a government decides to set a legal maximum or legal minimum price in a market for a good or service.

A price floor is a legal minimum price for a g, s, or fop Charging or paying a price below the price floor is illegal and can carry a penalty under the law.

The most familiar PF is the minimum wage. In the USA, it is illegal to pay less than $7.25 per hour. There are some classifications of workers who may not be subject to this requirement, but most are.

The government’s argument for a minimum wage stems from a belief that the market wage is not high enough to provide a reasonable standard of living for low skilled workers.

A price ceiling is a legal maximum price for a g, s, fop. Charging or paying a price above the price ceiling is illegal and can carry a penalty under the law.

The most familiar “PC” is the rent control. In some cities, the “ER” is viewed as too high for lower income people. Therefore, a city designates some housing units as rent control units.

Price ceilings usually create shortages in the market.

Price controls will often create underground markets. If the price floor minimum wage is truly too high for the market to bear, both workers and employers will choose to trade in the underground market. This is bad for government because it will not collect taxes on that income earned and it will have to spend resources to enforce the price floor. If the price ceiling rent is truly too low for the market, tenants will cheat by illegally subletting their rent controlled apartments to others, pocketing the difference. Landlords will have no incentive to keep apartments in good repair and the housing will become substandard. Eventually, the number of rent controlled units will decline as frustrated landlords convert their buildings to condominiums or sell off their property for alternative uses.

Please write down the following demand schedule and graph the demand curve

Please answer the following 3 questions, you do not have to write the question … 1.What is the difference in Quantity Demand if you move from $10 to $35? 2.What is the difference in Quantity Demand if you move from $45 to $15? 3.What is the difference in Price Demand if you from 40 stuffed animals to 70 stuffed animals?

Explain and illustrate on a graph how price floors create surpluses and price ceilings create shortages. c. Define price elasticity of demand and supply.

How does elasticity explain the changes in demand and supply?

Price elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of consumers to changes in price.

Market “D” is inelastic when the % change in the price of a good is greater than the % change in quantity “D” of the good. For example, if a diabetic needs insulin in order to live, they are likely to purchase just as much even if the price rises significantly.

Market “D” is elastic when the % change in the price of a good is less than the % change in quantity “D" of the good. For example, if the price of snack you buy goes up, you will likely buy a much smaller quantity because you immediately substitute another snack for it since you have so many choices.

What does inelastic “D” look like? The first graph shows relatively inelastic “D” which means a price change on the “D” curve results in a very small change in quantity “D”. The second graph shows perfectly inelastic “D” which means a price change on the “D” curve results in no change in quantity demanded. RelativePerfect

What does elastic “D” look like graphically? The first graph shows relatively elastic “D” which means a price change on the “D" curve results in a very large change in quantity “D”. The second graph shows perfectly elastic “D” which means any price increase or decrease no longer intersects the “D” curve and there is no quantity “D” at any other price. RelativePerfect

Price elasticity of supply refers to the responsiveness of sellers to changes in price

Market supply is inelastic when the percentage change in the price of a good is greater than the percentage change in quantity demanded of the good…

Market supply is elastic when the percentage change in the price of a good is less than the percentage change in quantity demanded of the good. For example, if a company has a factory and it is currently operating at 70% of its capacity and the price of its product rises in the market, it can utilize some of its excess capacity quickly to take advantage of the higher prices.

What does inelastic supply look like graphically? The first graph shows relatively inelastic “S” which means a price change on the “S” curve results in a very small change in quantity “S”. The second graph shows perfectly inelastic “S” which means a price change on the “S” curve results in no change in quantity “S”. Relatively Inelastic Perfectly Inelastic

What does elastic supply look like graphically? The first graph shows relatively elastic “S” which means a price change on the “S” curve results in a very large change in quantity “S”. The second graph shows perfectly elastic “S” which means any price increase or decrease no longer intersects the “S” curve and there is no quantity “S” at prices higher or lower than the current price.
