Supply and Demand Notes DEMAND Different people place different valuation on the same good. Meaning they will pay different prices for the same good (Love, Like, Hate relationship) In general, people want to buy more of any good at lower prices. And they will buy less at higher prices, this is called the LAW OF DEMAND. But it does not tell us how much more or less.

SUPPLY Producers are driven by the profit motive. Therefore they will supply more of a good at higher prices, and less of the good at lower prices. This is called the LAW OF SUPPLY. These laws apply to normal goods, but not inferior goods. –Normal goods = income rises, we want more –Inferior goods = income rises, we want less
