QUIZ RETURNED
3
Law of Supply When price increase, the quantity supplied increases. When price decreases, the quantity supplied decreases. PQ s, PQ s A direct relationship.
4
A Supply Schedule is a table that relates Price (the driver) to Quantity supplied (the responder) P Q s This is a Supply Schedule
5
The Law of Supply can be represented graphically Price Supply Curve Quantity Why does the Supply curve go “low to high”? Because when price is high, quantity supplied is high And when price is low, quantity supplied is low.
6
Shifts of the Supply Curve Price Quantity Supply Curve Decrease Increase I = R, D = L still applies
7
ELASTICITY OF SUPPLY How sensitive are suppliers to a change in price PQ s = Elastic Supply PQ s = Inelastic Supply Remember…Law of Supply still applies
8
Length of time to produce the good or service is the main determinant of the elasticity of supply The longer it takes to produce the good or service, the more inelastic. Helpful Hint…Inelastic is the long word and that takes a long time to produce
9
Supply curves, elastic and inelastic Price Quantity Inelastic Long time to produce Ex. Airplanes, gasoline, wine Elastic Short time to produce Ex. Hamburgers, bottled water, music files
10
Questions on supply 1. What is the law of supply? (a) the lower the price, the larger the quantity supplied (b) the higher the price, the larger the quantity supplied (c) the higher the price, the smaller the quantity supplied (d) the lower the price, the more manufacturers will produce the good 2. What happens when the price of a good down? (a) existing producers will expand and some new producers will enter the market (b) some producers will produce less and others will drop out of the market (c) existing firms will continue their usual output but will earn less (d) new firms will enter the market as older ones drop out
11
Government Influences on Supply By raising or lowering the cost of producing goods, the government can encourage or discourage an entrepreneur or industry. Subsidies A subsidy is a government payment that supports a business or market. Subsidies cause the supply of a good to increase. Taxes The government can reduce the supply of some goods by placing an excise tax on them. An excise tax is a tax on the production or sale of a good. Regulation Regulation occurs when the government steps into a market to affect the price, quantity, or quality of a good. Regulation usually raises costs.
12
Shifts of the Supply Curve Price Quantity Supply Curve Taxes & Regulation Subsidies What is the effect on price?
13
Government Influences on Supply EXAMPLES? Subsidies Taxes Regulation
14
Government Influences on Supply EXAMPLES? Subsidies…Electric Cars, College education, “green industries” Taxes…Cigarettes, alcohol, green house gases Regulation….Cars, Housing OTHERS?

Supply and Demand Putting Supply and Demand together Take out a piece of paper
17
Supply and Demand Putting Supply and Demand together Price Quantity
18
Supply and Demand Draw a Demand Curve Price Quantity
19
Supply and Demand Draw a Demand Curve Price Quantity Demand
20
Supply and Demand Add a Supply Curve Price Quantity Demand
21
Supply and Demand Add a Supply Curve Price Quantity Demand Supply
22
Supply and Demand Reading the graph Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium 5 Parts to a fully labeled Supply and Demand graph 1.Price 2.Quantity 3.Supply 4.Demand 5.Equilibrium
23
Supply and Demand Equilibrium determines market price and market quantity. Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium 5 Parts to a fully labeled Supply and Demand graph 1.Price 2.Quantity 3.Supply 4.Demand 5.Equilibrium
24
Supply and Demand Now show the effect of an increase in demand Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium
25
Supply and Demand Increase shifts the curve to the right (remember…I = R, D = L) and changes the equilibrium (i.e. price and quantity) Price Quantity Demand Supply New Equilibrium
26
Supply and Demand Increase shifts the curve to the right (I = R, D = L) and changes the equilibrium (i.e. price and quantity) Price Quantity Demand Supply New Equilibrium
27
Supply and Demand What was the effect on price and quantity? Price Quantity Demand Supply New Equilibrium
28
Supply and Demand What was the effect on price and quantity? Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium

Taxes and subsidies What’s the public benefit that justifies the Government’s action (the tax)? What are the unintended consequences of the Government’s action? What are other alternatives for the Government to achieve the goal?
33
Let’s see if we got it… http://www.wnyc.org/story/101889- morning-coffee-costs-more/ draw a fully labelled (five parts) supply and demand curve explaining what’s going on
34
Supply and Demand Curve
35
Shortages and Surpluses Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium SHORTAGE SHORTAGE = Price BELOW the equilibrium price Supply is less than Demand.
36
Shortages and Surpluses Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium SHORTAGE What happens when there is a shortage of something?
37
Shortages and Surpluses Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium SURPLUS SURPLUS = Price ABOVE the equilibrium Price. Demand is less than supply
38
Shortages and Surpluses Price Quantity Demand Supply Equilibrium SURPLUS And what happens when there is a surplus of something?
39
Homework Review Powerpoint for next class (online) Read “Current Reading Assignment” (online) Read Naked Economics, Chapter 1…“Who Feeds Paris?” Helpful Hint…as you read Chapter One of Naked Economics, ask yourself “How does it relate to Supply and Demand?”
40
Homework Read Naked Economics, Chapter One Helpful Hint…as you read Chapter One, how does it relate to Supply and Demand?
