10. Supply curve (supply schedule) – Shows how much of the product that sellers are willing to sell at various price levels. Demand curve (demand schedule) – Shows how much of the product buyers are willing to purchase at various price levels. Equilibrium (market) price – The point at which the supply and demand curves meet. – The price at which producers are willing to sell their products and the price at which consumers will buy those products. Price Quantity Demand Supply

11.  Personal income  All of the money received by a household  Disposable income  All of the income a household has after paying taxes.  Spent on needs (mortgage, electrical bills)  Discretionary income  The income left after paying for “necessities”.  Spent on our wants  Impacts supply and demand

12.  The more suppliers there are, the more options for consumers.  The more options for consumers, the more producers must compete for business.  In order to compete, producers must either lower prices while still making a profit, or quit producing the good.

13.  Substitute goods  Goods that can be used in place of other goods.  Ex: McDonald’s, Burger King, & Wendy’s  Increases competition  Complimentary goods  Goods that work together to fulfill a certain need.  Ex: DVDs and DVD players are both useless unless used together.

The influence of disposable income 2. The price at which total supply equals total demand it known as what? A. The middle price B. The consumer price C. Consumer demand D. Equilibrium price

16.  On the island of Mocha, what was caused by the storm and the war?  Shortage of wood  What is a shortage?  When there is not enough of a product  What is a surplus?  When there is too much of a product

17.  Shortage  When supply of a good falls short of the demand.  A price below equilibrium results in a shortage  Prices increase  Surplus  When supply of a good exceeds the demand.  A price above equilibrium results in a surplus.  Prices decrease Price Quantity Demand Supply Shortage Surplus

18.  Consumer tastes refers to individual consumers’ preferences.  What is desirable to one consumer may not be desirable to another.

22.  EQ: HOW DO CONSUMERS AND MARKETS REACT TO SHORTAGES AND SURPLUSES?

23.  SUMMARIZE THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND AND CREATE A DEMAND AND SUPPLY SCHEDULE  EXPLAIN WHAT IS THE EQUILIBRIUM PRICE?  IDENTIFY SOME OF THE INFLUENCES ON SUPPLY AND DEMAND?  INTERPRET THE IMPACT OF COMPETITION ON SUPPLY AND DEMAND?  COMPARE AND CONTRAST SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND COMPLIMENTARY GOODS  IDENTIFY FACTORS THAT AFFECT PRICES?  EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFLATION AND DEFLATION?  EVALUATE HOW INTEREST RATES CAN IMPACT PRICES AND AFFECT SPENDING?  IDENTIFY WAYS THE GOVERNMENT IMPACT PRICES?

24.  What is the Equilibrium Price?  The Equilibrium Price is the price producers sell their product and the price consumers pay for the product.
