Lesson Essential Question How do you visually represent changes in an economic system?

Vocabulary SupplyDemand Supply/Demand Curves Incentives

Supply and Demand Notes, Graphing, and Lots and Lots of Practice!!!

“What is Economics?” Read to get a handle on this topic. It might be a quick review for you! Grab a highlighter and a pen if you don’t already have one out.

One thing to remember! Everything we discuss today is assuming we are in a PERFECT ECONOMIC WORLD!

The Basic Graph (aka “The Starting Point”)

What do the letters mean?  X axis = Q = Quantity  Y axis = P = Price  D = Demand  S = Supply

The Basic Graph (aka “The Starting Point”) Equilibrium

What do the letters mean?  “The Intersection” = Equilibrium (shows perfect supply/demand)  Q* = Quantity Demanded/Supplied (at the equilibrium price)  P* = Equilibrium Price

Definition for Supply (represents Producers)  The total amount of a good or service producers are willing and able to make at all prices at a specific point in time.

Law of Supply  States that as the price increases the quantity supplied also increases. The same applies for a decrease in price. or

DETERMINANTS – Things That Could Shift (change) the Supply of a Product  Price and availability of land, labor and/or capital (factors of production) (e.g.: OJ v. cold winter)  New technology (e.g.: cotton gin)  Number of other sellers (e.g.: grocery stores in M’town)

DETERMINANTS – Things That Could Shift (change) the Supply of a Product, cont.  Price of other goods someone could produce (e.g.: fresh fruits and/or vegetables in the summer v. winter)  Tax Policy (e.g.: GOVERNMENT if taxes increase then overall cost goes up) Let’s Practice!

Graphing a Shift in Supply (start w/ the basic graph) S2

Graphing a Shift in Supply  The NEW supply line (S2) is called the Supply Curve.  It is a graphic representation of supply! That’s Crazy – it’s a straight line, but don’t let that throw you off! That’s Crazy – it’s a straight line, but don’t let that throw you off!

Closer – Tues., 11/03 Please note the following on your closer worksheet:  Things you learned today  Ways you can use this material in the future  Nugget of advise related to economics for future students in this class

Warm-up  Explain your answer: The price of gold just went up! Is there an increase or decrease in the … supply of gold rings? demand for silver?

A Quick Reminder! Everything we discuss today is assuming we are in a PERFECT ECONOMIC WORLD! You also are focused on the HERE AND NOW!

Definitions for Demand (represents Consumers)  The total amount consumers are willing and able to buy at all prices at a specific point in time.

Law of Demand  States that as the price increases the quantity demanded decreases. Same applies for a decrease in price. or

Determinants - things that could shift (change) the DEMAND for a product  Tastes and fads (Q’back jerseys)  Income (BMW dealerships in area)  Number of buyers (Burger King)

Determinants - things that could shift (change) the DEMAND for a product, cont.  Future price expectations (small cars - when fuel prices go up)  Price and availability of Substitutes (“Uggs” v. “Fuggs”) Substitutes (“Uggs” v. “Fuggs”) Compliments (jam/jelly w/ PB) Compliments (jam/jelly w/ PB) Let’s Practice!

Graphing a Shift in Demand (start w/ the basic graph) D2

Graphing a Shift in Demand  The NEW Demand line is called the Demand Curve.  It is a graphic representation of demand! That’s Right Folks – it’s also a straight line! That’s Right Folks – it’s also a straight line!

Graphing a Shift in Demand (show the new price/quantity) Q2 D2 P2 E2

Let’s Get Graphing after we finish with two final things... Now that you’ve got the idea of supply, demand and their determinants,

Introducing I R D L He will be your best friend! Always remember his name so you know whether to shift right or left (for either supply or demand)...

I R D L stands for...  Increase  Right  Decrease  Left

You always want to ask the same series of questions to help you understand the information that you will be graphing.

Questions to Prepare for Graphing  What is the market you are graphing? (good/service in the headline)  Which determinant has changed?  Does it affect supply or demand?  Does supply/demand increase or decrease?  Does the supply/demand curve shift right or left?  Note that questions #2 and #3 can be switched!

Let’s Graph! (white packet, p. 7) Imagine you are reading a newspaper and come across the following headlines...

Two Major Computer Manufacturers Build Five New Factories – graph computers

Two Major Computer Manufacturers Build Five New Factories  What is the market you are graphing?  Computers  Which determinant has changed?  Price and Availability of Capital  Does it affect supply or demand?  Supply  Does supply increase or decrease?  Increase ↑  Does the supply curve shift to the right or left?  Right →

Supply of computers increases because more factories are built. S2 P2 Q2 E2

Don’t forget to ask the questions...  What is the market you are graphing?  Which determinant has changed?  Does it affect supply or demand?  Does supply/demand increase or decrease?  Does the curve shift to the right or left?

Demand for SUVs NOW! Q2 D2 P2 E2

Always read the headline for what it is right now! Try not to read into it too much! Keep it simple!
