5. Chapter 3 – Supply & Demand
Demand – a schedule of all the various quantities of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy, at various prices and at a specified time, place and population.

6. Chapter 3 — Demand & Supply
Law of Demand — there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded of a good or service.
Why? Substitutes
Is there a good substitute for gasoline?
Insulin to a diabetic? 6

7. Chapter 3 — Demand & Supply
Law of Demand
Demand Schedule
Demand Graph
Height of Demand Curve = Marginal Benefit or Marginal Utility
Consumer Surplus
Elasticity of Demand

8. Demand curves are downward sloping because of:
Complementary goods
Excess supply
Substitution
The inverse relationship between income and consumption.

9. Change in D v. Change in Qd
Caused by a change in price
Change in D —
Caused by a change in anything BUT price
What are some of those “Anythings?”
Income
Number of Buyers in the market
Price of RELATED Products
Expectations—Johnny Carson (bathroom tissue)
Tastes & Preferences of consumers

10. 3.1: Draw 2 demand graphs, completely labeled.
On the left graph, show a change in quantity demanded. On the right graph, show a change in Demand. Somewhere on the front of the card, write the ONE word answer to “What changes quantity demanded?” Circle that word.
LABEL COMPLETELY, all axes, curves, shifts, arrows, etc.

11. (PMA) Ceteris Paribus, an increase in the price of a good will cause the:
Demand of the good to decrease
Demand of the good to increase
Quantity demanded to increase
Quantity demanded to decrease

12. Consumers’ surplus is
The difference between what a producer HAS to pay for resources and what he wants to pay.
The difference between what the consumer wants to pay for a good and what the producer wants him to pay.
The difference between the producer’s cost and the market price.
The difference between what the consumer is WILLING & ABLE to pay and what he actually has to pay given the market price. 12

13. Demand curves are downward sloping because of:
Complementary goods
Excess supply
Substitution
The inverse relationship between income and consumption.

14. Excess supply is just: Another name for a surplus.
Another name for a shortage.
Producers being willing to sell more than they are able to sell.
The same as market equilibrium. 14

15. They are the High opportunity cost producer
PMA—Choose the BEST answer….. To maximize income, countries should import goods for which
They are the High opportunity cost producer
They are the Low opportunity cost producer
They have a comparative advantage in
They have the absolute advantage in

16. What is Supply?
Supply – a schedule of all the various quantities of a good or service that a producer is willing and able to sell at various prices and at a specified time, place and population.

17. Chapter 3 con’t — Demand & Supply
Law of Supply — there is a positive relationship between price and quantity supplied
WHY? PPC…..as you produce more COTTON, you give up more and more in terms of corn, at the margin. Let’s call that a supply curve. 17

18. Chapter 3 con’t — Demand & Supply
Law of Supply
Supply Schedule
Height of Supply Curve = OC at the margin OR Marginal Cost
Producer Surplus
Elasticity of Supply

19. Class work 3.2: On ONE graph, draw two demand curves: One for a product that has few good substitutes and one for a product that has MANY good substitutes, ceteris paribus. Make sure you explain which is which…

20. Change in Supply v. change in Qs
Change in Qs V. Change in Supply –
(along the curve) (of the curve)
What causes changes in SUPPLY? Anything but price……for example:
Changes in Technology
Number of sellers in the market
Expectation of sellers as to price, change in consumption
Natural Disasters
Tax Policy 20

21. --How S & D interact --What determines where price will be in a competitive market, in the ABSENCE of Government intervention? --Shortages and Surpluses
Video—excess supply of Buzz Lightyear

22. And sometimes….even the professionals get it wrong……
Article from Rock Times, Nov. 1974

24. Index card: 3.2
If there is a SHORTAGE of something and we don’t allow price to change, how can we get rid of the surplus?
If there is a SURPLUS, and we don’t allow price to change, how do we get rid of the surplus?
Video – Sometimes, even with grave shortages, government will not allow price to change. What is the result?

26. Invisible Hand of Competition
Pricing causes NATURAL order (not central planning) ex. Lines at McDonalds, toll booths
Pricing gives information – higher price signals change in the market-Tsunami & price of bananas, price of plywood after hurricane
Invisible Hand
What determines Price … is it supply or demand? Alfred Marshall

27. 3.3: Draw a graph that shows:
What you would expect to happen to the market price and quantity of strawberries after a tornado rips through “strawberry country,” central Florida. 27

28. 3.3: Draw a graph that shows:
What you would expect to happen to the market price and quantity of strawberries after a tornado rips through “strawberry country,” central Florida.
S & D graph, labeled correctly
(axes, curves, arrows, etc.).
Show market p & q BEFORE the
tornado and then again AFTER
the tornado.

29. Class Work 3.4
Hurricane Katrina hit the Louisiana coast pretty hard, wiping out homes and businesses such as Home Depot and Lowe’s. How would you expect the hurricane to affect the market price and quantity of lumber, ceteris paribus?
Draw a graph for your answer. 29
