Factors of Demand, 2/11 Warm Up Martha Navarro-Baldoza is at Sprinkles Cupcakes to buy treats for her classmates. She has $50 to spend. Each cupcake is $3! At that price she is likely to buy 10. However, there are two other deals to choose from. 20 cupcakes for $40 and 30 cupcakes for $50. – Create a demand schedule – Create a demand curve

Martha’s dilemma But wait, after some thinking… Martha remembers there’s a party tonight and she needs to provide punch

Do the math Martha! She does some quick math and decides she should only spend about $25 on cupcakes for 15 of her closest friends How much would 15 cupcakes cost her? – $45

The other guys “WHAT A RIP OFF!” she says. One block down is Tinkles Cupcakes. They use the same ingredients as Sprinkles but their cupcakes are only $0.75 each...
7
The Substitution Effect After this thought process, does she still have a demand for Sprinkles Cupcakes? Explain. – No, she is able to buy Sprinkles Cupcakes but she is no longer willing Goods and services that can be used in place of other goods and services to satisfy consumer wants are called substitutes

Smart Shopper So, Martha walks a block to Tinkle’s Cupcakes She buys 15 cupcakes at $0.75 each How much money did she save? – $45 – 15($0.75)= $33.75 She’s got some money to burn… OHHHHH YESSSSS!!!

Income Effect The change in the amount of a product that a consumer will buy because the purchasing power of his or her income changes

Complements Compl i ment- “Your eyes shine like the stars.” Compl e ment- “Cupcakes and milk.”

BAD GIRLS! Martha’s friends didn’t show up to school because there was some silly parade… ahem* What’s she going to do with 15 cupcakes? – Being economical, she’s going to sell them!
13
I can haz cupcakes? Ms. So eats 1 cupcake. She buys another. Then another. Then another… She decides she can’t have more than 4
14
Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility The law of diminishing marginal utility states that the marginal benefit from using each additional unit of a good or service during a given time period tends to decline as each is used
15
Changes Change in Quantity Demanded- increase or decrease in the amount demanded because of the change in price Movement along the curve itself
