Individual Markets Demand & Supply
Chapter 3 4/7/2019
2
Markets Buyers and sellers are brought together.
All situations that link potential buyers with potential sellers are markets. Markets are face-to-face, impersonal, local, national, or international. Markets exist in many forms: corner gas station, e-commerce sites, local music store, farmer’s roadside stand are markets. 4/7/2019
3
Demand Various amounts of a product that consumers are willing & able to buy at different prices Can be shown in table or graph form 4/7/2019
4
Demand Schedule (Table 3.1)
Price Quantity Demanded $5 10 4 20 3 35 2 55 1 80 4/7/2019
5
Law of Demand As price falls, the quantity demanded rises, and vice versa. Negative or inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. 4/7/2019
6
Inverse Relationship People buy more of a product at a low price.
Buyers derive less satisfaction (utility) from each additional unit consumed. 4/7/2019
7
Income & Substitution Effects
Income effect lower prices increase purchasing power of an individual’s money Substitution effect lower prices provide incentive to the buyer to substitute to what is now a less expensive product. 4/7/2019
8
Market Demand By adding the quantities demanded by all consumers at each price, we can get the market demand. 4/7/2019

Determinants of Demand
Price Consumer taste (preference) # of consumers in the market Consumer income Price of related goods Consumer expectations about future prices and incomes. 2) A favorable change in taste for a product will increase demand and the curve will shift to the right. 3) An increase in the number of buyers in a market increases demand. 4) A rise in income causes an increase in demand. 5) A change in the price of a related good may either increase or decrease the demand for a product depending on whether the related good is a substitute of complement. 6) If people expect something to occur in the future that may affect price, their demand will be influenced. 4/7/2019
11
Related Goods Substitute good- a good that can be used in place of another good. Complementary good- a good that is used together with another good. When two products are complements, the price of one good and the demand for the other good move in opposite directions. Beef and chicken are examples of substitutes. I.e. when the price of beef rises, consumers buy less beef, increasing the demand for chicken. Goods that are used together and are usually demanded together. I.e. if the price of gasoline falls, and, as a result, you drive your car more often, the extra driving increases your demand for motor oil. 4/7/2019
12
Change in Demand When at least one determinants of demand changes the entire demand curve will shift. Increase- curve will shift to right. Decrease- curve will shift to left. 4/7/2019
13
Changes in quantity demanded
Don’t confuse with “change in demand.” Change in demand- entire shift of curve. Change in quantity demanded- movement from one point to another on the “same” curve. 4/7/2019
14
Normal & Inferior Goods
Normal- As income rises, demand increases for this type of product (i.e. Luxury goods) Inferior- As income falls, demand increases for this type of product (i.e. Mac N cheese) 4/7/2019
15
Supply A schedule or curve showing the amounts of a product that producers are willing and able to make available for sale at each price. Supply schedule- shows the quantities of corn that will be supplied at various prices. 4/7/2019
16
Supply Schedule Price Quantity Supplied 5 60 4 50 3 35 2 20 1 4/7/2019
17
Law of Supply Positive or direct relationship exists between price and quantity supplied. As price rises, quantity supplied rises. Common sense…if businesses can get a higher price, they are willing to increase supply to make more money. 4/7/2019
18
Determinants of Supply
Resource prices Technology Taxes and subsidies Prices of other goods Price expectations # of sellers in the market I.e. if it costs more money to produce something, the supply will decrease Improvements in technology enable firms to produce things in a less expensive fashion. Taxes discourage supply increases, subsidies encourage it. 6) As more sellers enter the market, supply curve shifts to right lowering price. 4/7/2019
19
Changes in Quantity Supplied
Just like demand: Movement along a supply curve Don’t confuse with “change in supply” 4/7/2019
20
Equilibrium Price & Quantity
Quantity supply = quantity demanded. Also called “market-clearing” price. 4/7/2019
21
Surpluses Excess supply This is above equilibrium price.
Quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded. 4/7/2019
22
Shortages Quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied.
This is below equilibrium price. Excess demand. 4/7/2019
23
Supply & Demand Schedule
Price Demand Surplus/ Shortage 12,000 5 2,000 +10,000 10,000 4 4,000 +6,000 7,000 3 Equilibrium 2 11,000 -7,000 1,000 1 16,000 -15,000 4/7/2019

Price Floors & Ceilings
Aids the seller Above equilibrium (surplus) Ceilings Aids the buyer Below equilibrium (shortage) 4/7/2019
