Know the difference! Changes in demand/supply versus changes in “quantity demanded”/ “quantity supplied”

Changes in demand Demand Schedule Initial price of chocolate bars ($) Initial quantity demanded of chocolate bars (per week) Price of chocolate bars after ∆ in income($) Quantity demanded of chocolate bars (per week) after ∆ in income($) 5254 4446 3638 28210 1 112

Changes in demand Chocolate bars 1 2 3 4 5 Price 246810 D (Demand) A change one of the non-price determinants always causes a change in demand. D1 (Demand)
5
Know the lingo! When you write, “change in quantity demanded,” make sure you are referring to the result of a price change. When you write, “change (or shift) in demand,” make sure you are referring to the result of a change in a non-price determinant!
6
Supply works the same way! When you write, “change in quantity supplied,” make sure you are referring to the result of a price change. When you write, “change (or shift) in supply,” make sure you are referring to the result of a change in a non-price determinant!
