1 Unit 1: Demand, Supply, and Consumer Choice

2 What Causes a Shift in Demand?
5 Shifters (Determinates) of Demand: Tastes and Preferences Number of Consumers Price of Related Goods Income Future Expectations Changes in PRICE don’t shift the curve. It only causes movement along the curve.

3 Prices of Related Goods
The demand curve for one good can be affected by a change in the price of ANOTHER related good. Substitutes are goods used in place of one another. Ex: If price of Pepsi falls, demand for coke will… If the price of one increases, the demand for the other will increase (or vice versa) 2. Complements are two goods that are bought and used together. Ex: If price of hot dogs falls, demand for hot dog buns will... If the price of one increase, the demand for the other will fall. (or vice versa)

15 Income The incomes of consumer change the demand, but how depends on the type of good. Normal Goods Ex: Luxury cars, Sea Food, jewelry, homes As income increases, demand increases As income falls, demand falls 2. Inferior Goods Ex: Top Ramen, used cars, used clothes As income increases, demand falls As income falls, demand increases Spam-Inferior Yachts- Normal Off Brand Cereal-Inferior McDonald’s-Inferior Toilet Paper- Probably no connection to income (The point-some products are very reliant on income and others are not)

17 Supply

18 Supply Defined EXAMPLE: Mowing Lawns What is supply?
Supply is the different quantities of a good that sellers are willing and able to sell (produce) at different prices. What is the Law of Supply? There is a DIRECT (or positive) relationship between price and quantity supplied. As price increases, the quantity producers make increases As price falls, the quantity producers make falls. Why? Because, at higher prices profit seeking firms have an incentive to produce more. EXAMPLE: Mowing Lawns

19 Example of Supply You own an lawn mower and you are willing to mow lawns. How many lawns will you mow at these prices? Price per lawn mowed Quantity Supplied Supply Schedule $1 $5 $20 $50 $100 $1000 19

27 Change in Supply What if the price for dairy cows increases
Supply Schedule What if the price for dairy cows increases drastically? Price of Milk Supply $5 4 3 2 1 Price Quantity Supplied $5 50 $4 40 $3 30 $2 20 $1 10 Q Quantity of Milk 27

28 Change in Supply Supply Schedule Price of Milk Supply $5 50 $4 40 $3

29 Change in Supply Supply Schedule Price of Milk Supply $5 50 $4 40 $3

30 Change in Supply Supply Schedule Price of Milk Supply $5 30 $4 20 $3
1 Price Quantity Supplied $5 30 $4 20 $3 10 $2 1 $1 10 0 Q Quantity of Milk 30

31 Prices didn’t change but there is LESS milk produced
Change in Supply Supply Schedule Price of Milk Supply S2 $5 4 3 2 1 Price Quantity Supplied $5 30 $4 20 $3 10 $2 1 $1 10 0 Decrease in Supply Prices didn’t change but there is LESS milk produced Q Quantity of Milk 31

32 Change in Supply What if there is a increase in the number
Supply Schedule What if there is a increase in the number of milk producers? Price of Milk Supply $5 4 3 2 1 Price Quantity Supplied $5 50 $4 40 $3 30 $2 20 $1 10 Q Quantity of Milk 32

33 5 Shifters (Determinants) of Supply
Prices/Availability of inputs (resources) Number of Sellers Technology Government Action: Taxes & Subsidies 5. Expectations of Future Profit Changes in PRICE don’t shift the curve. It only causes movement along the curve.

34 Practice Questions 1. Which of the following will cause the quantity supplied for milk to decrease? Decrease in the price of a key resource A decrease in the number of milk producers A decrease in the price of milk An increase in the price of milk A subsidy for milk producers Answer C. A change in price is rice is the only thing that changes quantity supplied

35 Supply Practice Identify the determinant (shifter) then decide if supply will increase or decrease Shifter Increase or Decrease Left or Right 1 2 3 4 5 6 35 35

36 Supply Practice Analyze Hamburgers Strange virus kills 20% of cows
Which determinant (SHIFTER)? Increase or decrease? Which direction will curve shift? Analyze Hamburgers Strange virus kills 20% of cows New bun baking technology cuts burger production time in half Government subsidizes dairy farmers Minimum wage increases to $20 Price of hamburger buns increases 30% Price of hamburgers increase 30% Decrease in availability of resources, decrease. Price doesn’t shift curve, no shift. Government action, decrease. Technology, increase. Government action, increase Price of resources, decrease.

37 Putting Supply and Demand Together!!!

38 Supply and Demand are put together to determine equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity
Supply Schedule Demand Schedule S $5 4 3 2 1 P Qd $5 10 $4 20 $3 30 $2 50 $1 80 P Qs $5 50 $4 40 $3 30 $2 20 $1 10 D Q

39 Equilibrium Price = $3 (Qd=Qs) Equilibrium Quantity is 30

41 How much is the surplus at $4?
At $4, there is disequilibrium. The quantity demanded is less than quantity supplied. P Supply Schedule Demand Schedule S $5 4 3 2 1 Surplus (Qd<Qs) P Qd $5 10 $4 20 $3 30 $2 50 $1 80 P Qs $5 50 $4 40 $3 30 $2 20 $1 10 How much is the surplus at $4? Answer: 20 D Q 41

42 How much is the surplus if the price is $5?
What if the price decreases to $2? P Supply Schedule Demand Schedule S $5 4 3 2 1 P Qd $5 10 $4 20 $3 30 $2 50 $1 80 P Qs $5 50 $4 40 $3 30 $2 20 $1 10 Answer: 40 D Q 42

43 How much is the shortage at $2?
At $2, there is disequilibrium. The quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied. P Supply Schedule Demand Schedule S $5 4 3 2 1 P Qd $5 10 $4 20 $3 30 $2 50 $1 80 P Qs $5 50 $4 40 $3 30 $2 20 $1 10 How much is the shortage at $2? Answer: 30 Shortage (Qd>Qs) D Q 43

44 How much is the shortage if the price is $1?

45 The FREE MARKET system automatically pushes the price toward equilibrium.
Supply Schedule Demand Schedule S $5 4 3 2 1 When there is a surplus, producers lower prices P Qd $5 10 $4 20 $3 30 $2 50 $1 80 P Qs $5 50 $4 40 $3 30 $2 20 $1 10 When there is a shortage, producers raise prices D Q 45

46 Review Explain the Law of Demand Explain the Law of Supply
Identify the 5 shifters of demand Identify the 6 shifters of supply Define Subsidy Explain why price DOESN’T shift the curve Define Equilibrium Define Shortage Define Surplus Identify 10 stores in the mall
