Chapters 4 and 5 “Demand, Supply, and Market Equilibrium”
3
Introduction to Demand In the United States, the forces of supply and demand work together to set prices. Demand is the desire, willingness, and ability to buy a good or service. – Demand refers to individual consumers or the total demand of all consumers in the market (market demand). Based on that definition, what is in high demand by students your age?
4
Introduction to Demand A demand schedule is a table that lists the various quantities of a product or service that someone is willing to buy over a range of possible prices. Price per Ice Cream Scoop($) Quantity Demanded of Ice Cream Scoop per day $8100 $7200 $6300 $5400 $4?????
5
Introduction to Demand A demand schedule can be shown as points on a graph. ▫The graph lists prices on the vertical axis and quantities demanded on the horizontal axis. ▫Each point on the graph shows how many units of the product or service an individual will buy at a particular price. ▫The demand curve is the line that connects these points.
6
What do you notice about the demand curve? How would you describe the slope of the demand curve? Do you think that price and quantity demanded tend to have this relationship?
7
Introduction to Demand The demand curve slopes downward. ▫This shows that people are normally willing to buy less of a product at a high price and more at a low price. ▫According to the law of demand, quantity demanded and price move in opposite directions.
8
Law of Demand = Inverse Relationship Demand is an inverse relationship: Low Price = High Demand High Price = Low Demand
9
Introduction to Demand We buy products for their utility- the pleasure, usefulness, or satisfaction they give us. What is your utility for the following products? (Measure your utility by the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for this product) White boards
15
What is Quantity? refers to the entire relationship between prices and the quantity of this product or service that people want at each of these prices. should be thought of as "the demand curve."
16
What is Quantity Demanded? The amount of goods which would be demanded at a particular price. If non-price factors that could influence demand are removed, then the higher the price of a good the lower the quantity of that good will be demanded.amountgoodspricefactorsdemandlower
17
Change in Price is a Change in Quantity Demanded
18
Changes in Demand Change in the quantity demanded due to a price change occurs ALONG the demand curve An increase in the Price of Ice Cream from $3 to $4 will lead to a decrease in the Quantity Demanded of scoops from 6 to 4.
19
Changes in Demand Demand Curves can also shift in response to the following factors: – Buyers (# of): changes in the number of consumers – Income: changes in consumers’ income – Tastes: changes in preference or popularity of product/ service – Expectations: changes in what consumers expect to happen in the future – Related goods: compliments and substitutes BITER: factors that shift the demand curve
20
Changes in Demand Changes in any of the factors other than price causes the demand curve to shift either: Decrease in Demand shifts to the Left (Less demanded at each price) OR Increase in Demand shifts to the Right (More demanded at each price)
21

Changes in Demand Prices of related goods affect on demand – Substitute goods a substitute is a product that can be used in the place of another. The price of the substitute good and demand for the other good are directly related For example, Coke PricePepsi Demand – Complementary goods a compliment is a good that goes well with another good. When goods are complements, there is an inverse relationship between the price of one and the demand for the other For example, Computers Software

45
Elasticity of Demand The degree to which changes in price cause changes in demand or If we change the price, will demand change a lot or a little?
46
Elastic Demand If Demand for a good is very sensitive to changes in price, the demand is ELASTIC Or If prices changes a little bit, demand will change a lot!
47
Example of Elastic Demand Price of pizza goes up even a little bit, demand goes down a lot.
48
Elastic Demand for Pizza Curve is FLAT
49
Inelastic Demand Demand for a good that consumers will continue to buy despite a price increase is INELASTIC OR Even if price changes a lot, demand changes very little
50
Example of Inelastic Demand The price of soap goes up a lot, the demand stays almost the same.
51
Inelastic Demand for Soap Curve is STEEP
52
Factors Affecting Elasticity Several different factors can affect the elasticity of demand for a certain good. 1. Availability of Substitutes If there are few substitutes for a good, the demand will not likely decrease as price increases (inelastic), the opposite (lots of substitutes) is also usually true (elastic) Ex. Gasoline has no substitutes- inelastic McDonalds has many (Burger King, etc)- elastic
53
Factors Affecting Elasticity (Cont.) 2. Relative Importance Another factor determining elasticity of demand is how much of your budget you spend on the good. Ex. Mortgage payment must be paid (inelastic) Entertainment (movies, etc.) are elastic
54
Factors Affecting Elasticity (Cont.) 3. Necessities vs. Luxuries Whether a person considers a good to be a necessity or luxury has a great impact on the good’s elasticity of demand for that person. Ex. Food (inelastic) Jewelry (elastic)
55
Factors Affecting Elasticity (Cont.) 4. Change over Time Demand sometimes becomes more elastic over time because people can eventually find substitutes. Ex.Blockbuster used to be the only place to rent videos (inelastic) Netflix, Video on Demand, Pay Per View, are substitutes for Blockbuster (elastic)

Introduction to Supply Supply refers to the various quantities of a good or service that producers are willing to sell at all possible market prices. Supply can refer to the output of one producer or to the total output of all producers in the market (market supply).
73
Based on…. Voluntary decisions made by producers
74
Introduction to Supply A supply schedule is a table that shows the quantities producers are willing to supply at various prices Price per Widget ($)Quantity Supplied of Widget per day $510 $48 $36 $24 $12
75
Vocabulary Quantity supplied- amount that producers bring to market at any given price Change in quantity supplied- change in the amount offered for sale in response to a change in price. Example on page 114
76
Introduction to Supply A supply schedule can be shown as points on a graph. ▫The graph lists prices on the vertical axis and quantities supplied on the horizontal axis. ▫Each point on the graph shows how many units of the product or service a producer (or group of producers) would willing sell at a particular price. ▫The supply curve is the line that connects these points.
77
What do you notice about the supply curve? How would you describe the slope of the supply curve? Do you think that price and quantity supplied tend to have this relationship?
78
Introduction to Supply As the price for a good rises, the quantity supplied rises and the quantity demanded falls. As the price falls, the quantity supplied falls and the quantity demanded rises. The law of supply holds that producers will normally offer more for sale at higher prices and less at lower prices.
79
Introduction to Supply The reason the supply curve slopes upward is due to costs and profit. Producers purchase resources and use them to produce output. ▫Producers will incur costs as they bid resources away from their alternative uses.
80
Introduction to Supply Businesses provide goods and services hoping to make a profit. ▫Profit is the money a business has left over after it covers its costs. ▫Businesses try to sell at prices high enough to cover their costs with some profit left over. ▫The higher the price for a good, the more profit a business will make after paying the cost for resources.
81
Changes in Supply If the price of Widgets fell to $2, then the Quantity Supplied would fall to 4 Widgets. Change in the quantity supplied due to a price change occurs ALONG the supply curve
82
Seven Supply Shifters… RATNEST 1.R esource Costs….wages and raw materials; if resource costs decrease, then supply will increase. If resource costs increase, then supply will decrease. 2. A lternative Output Price Change; Supply might increase because there is a decrease in the cost of inputs, such as labor and packaging. 3.T echnology Improvements; because cows produce more milk not as many cows are needed. 4.N umber of suppliers 5.E xpectations about the future price of a product. Producers think the price of their product will go up, they may withhold some of it. 6.S ubsidies from government. Free money will encourage suppliers to produce more. 7.T axes placed on businesses by the government or other countries. It is a burden and can decrease production which will decrease supply.

Changes in Supply Changes in any of the factors other than price causes the supply curve to shift either: Decrease in Supply shifts to the Left (Less supplied at each price) OR Increase in Supply shifts to the Right (More supplied at each price)
92
Changes in Supply Several factors will change the demand for the good (shift the entire demand curve) As an example, suppose that there is an improvement in the technology used to produce widgets.
93
Changes in Supply Supply can also decrease due to factors other than a change in price. As an example, suppose that a large number of Widget producers go out of business, decreasing the number of suppliers.

Non Price Determinants Supply Explain in your own words, what each letter means for the supply non price determinants… Write down if each determinant has a direct or inverse relationship on price and supply? R A T N E S T
111
Supply and Demand are based on the theory of production. Factor of production are: ▫Land ▫Captial ▫Labor ▫Entrepreneurship
112
Factors of Production Captial, Labor, Land, and Entrepreneurship are related to the amount of goods and service that are produced.
113
Short Run Short Run: Short production period. The time is so short that only one variable input changes. Variable input: Type of input that can be changed, such as labor, supply of materials, and amount of money that can be spent on new machinery.
114
Long Run Long run is a production period that is long enough to adjust the amounts of all its resources, including capital goods.
115
Law of Variable Proportions The Law of Variable Proportions states that in the short run, the amount of a product that is produced will change if one kind of input changes while the other kinds of input stay the same. For example: A farmer will use this law to find out how crop production will be affected if different amounts of fertilizer are added, but the farm machinery and the size of the field stay the same.
116
Law of Variable Proportions How could a factory manager use the Law of Variable Proportions?
117
Production Function Production Function is the relationship between changes in output and changes in a single input. Will production at a factory change if you add another worker? Example: Worker A produces 7 units of output, Worker A and B produce 20 units. All other input including raw materials stay the same.
118
Production Function The more workers that are added, production rises. However, after even more workers are added, production does not rise as fast. If too many workers are added, production can even go down. Why would the production go down eventually?
119
Production Function The two most important measures of output are total product and marginal product. Total product is the total amount of a product that is produced by a business. Marginal product is the extra output produced when one input, such as one more worker or one new machine is added.
120
Production Function Based on this example: Worker A produces 7 units of output, Worker A and B produce 20 units. All other input including raw materials stay the same. What would the marginal output be because a second worker was added?
121
Three Stages of Production Read pages 125 Create a Chart in your notebook with three columns. Write a description of each and what variables need to be present for each to happen. Increasing Returns Diminishing Returns Negative Returns
122
Stage One: Increasing Returns Workers hired cannot work efficiently because there are too many resources per worker. As the number of workers increases, they make better use of their machinery and resources. This results in increasing returns
123
Stage Two: Diminishing Returns Total production keeps growing but by smaller and smaller amounts. Any additional workers hired may stock shelves, package parts, and do other jobs that leave the machine operators free to do their jobs. The rate of increase in total production is now starting to slow down. Each additional worker, then, is making a diminishing but still positive contribution to total output.
124

126
Stage Three: Negative Returns Negative Returns: Firm has hired too many workers and they are starting to get in each other’s way. Marginal product becomes negative and total plant output decreases. The firm should hire at least six but no more than ten workers.

Supply and Demand at Work Markets bring buyers and sellers together. The forces of supply and demand work together in markets to establish prices. In our economy, prices form the basis of economic decisions.
129
Supply and Demand at Work Supply and Demand Schedule can be combined into one chart. Price per Widget ($) Quantity Demanded of Widget per day Quantity Supplied of Widget per day $5210 $448 $366 $284 $1102
130
Supply and Demand at Work
131
A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. – A surplus signals that the price is too high. – At that price, consumers will not buy all of the product that suppliers are willing to supply. – In a competitive market, a surplus will not last. Sellers will lower their price to sell their goods.
132
Supply and Demand at Work Suppose that the price in the Widget market is $4. At $4, Quantity demanded will be 4 Widgets At $4, Quantity supplied will be 8 Widgets. At $4, there will be a surplus of 4 Widgets. Surplus
133
Supply and Demand at Work A shortage is the amount by which the quantity demanded is higher than the quantity supplied ▫A shortage signals that the price is too low. ▫At that price, suppliers will not supply all of the product that consumers are willing to buy. ▫In a competitive market, a shortage will not last. Sellers will raise their price.
134
Supply and Demand at Work Suppose that the price in the Widget market is $2. At $2, Quantity supplied will be 4 Widgets At $2, Quantity demanded will be 8 Widgets. At $2, there will be a shortage of 4 Widgets. Shortage
135
Supply and Demand at Work When operating without restriction, our market economy eliminates shortages and surpluses. – Over time, a surplus forces the price down and a shortage forces the price up until supply and demand are balanced. – The point where they achieve balance is the equilibrium price. At this price, neither a surplus nor a shortage exists. Once the market price reaches equilibrium, it tends to stay there until either supply or demand changes. – When that happens, a temporary surplus or shortage occurs until the price adjusts to reach a new equilibrium price.
136
Supply and Demand at Work Suppose that the price in the Widget market is $3. At $3, Quantity supplied will be 6 Widgets At $3, Quantity demanded will be 6 Widgets. At $3, there will be neither a surplus or a shortage.
