Chapter Intro 1 Think about the items you bought during the past two months. What influenced your purchases? Did you need the items, or did you buy them because you wanted them? Make a list of the items, and next to each one write why you bought it. Then add for each item whether you would have bought more if the price had been lower, or fewer had the price been higher. Read Chapter 4 to learn how economists interpret your actions.

Chapter Intro 2 Markets exist when buyers and sellers interact, and market prices are set by the interaction of demand and supply.

A.A B.B C.C Section 1 Do you know how the price of an item is established? A.Definitely B.Possibly C.Definitely not

Section 1 What is Demand? Demand for a product is more than having the desire to own an item. Demand includes the ability and willingness to pay for it.Demand Microeconomics is the part of economic theory that deals with behavior and decision making by individuals and firms.Microeconomics
10
Section 1 An Introduction to Demand Demand is a concept specifying the different quantities of an item that will be bought at different prices.
11
Section 1 An Introduction to Demand (cont.) Demand is central to a market economy.market economy Demand involves two variables: The Demand for Compact Digital Discs –Price –Quantity of a specific product at a given point in time
12
Section 1 An Introduction to Demand (cont.) A demand schedule shows the various quantities demanded of a good at all prices that might prevail in the market at a given time.demand schedule A demand schedule shown graphically is a demand curve.demand curve The Demand for Compact Digital Discs
13
A.A B.B C.C D.D Section 1 Which does the demand schedule show? A.Age demographic of buyers B.Various quantities demanded C.Prevailing market prices D.Cost of producing product
14
Section 1 The Law of Demand There is an inverse relationship between the price of an item and the quantity demanded.
15
Section 1 Higher prices are associated with smaller amounts demanded on most goods or services we buy. This is the Law of Demand.Law of Demand –Quantity demanded varies inversely with its price. The Law of Demand (cont.) The market demand curve shows quantities demanded by everyone in the market who is interested in the product/service. Individual and Market Demand Curves
16
A.A B.B C.C D.D Section 1 What would be the highest price you would pay for your favorite movie on DVD? A.$20 B.$25 C.$30 D.None of the above
17
Section 1 Demand and Marginal Utility As we buy more of an item, we get less satisfaction from each additional purchase.
18
Section 1 Utility is the amount of product satisfaction or usefulness one receives from its use. Marginal utility explains much about demand.Marginal utility As we use more of a product, we encounter diminishing marginal utility.diminishing marginal utility Demand and Marginal Utility (cont.)
19
A.A B.B C.C Section 1 Can you name any products/services that do not have diminishing marginal utility? A.Many B.Some C.Not at all

Section 2-Preview Section Preview In this section, you will learn about the factors that cause changes in demand.
22
Section 2-Key Terms Content Vocabulary change in quantity demandedchange in quantity demanded income effect substitution effect change in demand substitutes complements Academic Vocabulary principle illustrated
23
A.A B.B C.C Section 2 Do you think that changes in season affect demand? A.Definitely B.Possibly C.Not at all
24
Section 2 Change in the Quantity Demanded Only a change in price can cause a change in quantity demanded.
25
Section 2 Change in the Quantity Demanded (cont.) When only the price changes and all else remains constant, there is a change in the quantity demanded.change in the quantity demanded –Income effectIncome effect –Substitution effectSubstitution effect A change in quantity demanded is a movement along the original demand curve. Change in the Quantity Demanded
26
A.A B.B C.C Section 2 Is the buyer’s “real income” really changing when a price changes? A.Absolutely B.Sometimes C.Not at all
27
Section 2 Change in Demand Several factors can cause the demand curve to shift.
28
Section 2 Factors other than price can cause a change in demand. A change in demand results in an entirely new demand curve. Change in Demand (cont.) Change in Demand
29
Section 2 Factors for demand changes –Consumer income –Consumer tastes –Price of related goods Change in Demand (cont.) Substitutes Complements Change in Demand
30
Section 2 –Expectations –Number of consumers Change in Demand (cont.) Change in Demand
31
A.A B.B C.C D.D Section 2 When consumers are willing to buy more due to an expected future shortage, what happens to the demand curve? A.Demand increases, movement along demand curve slopes downward B.Demand increases, curve shifts right C.Demand increases, movement along demand curve slopes upward D.Demand increases, curve shifts left
32

33
Section 3-Preview Section Preview In this section you will learn about the factors that influence the size of a change in quantity demanded.
34
Section 3-Key Terms Content Vocabulary elasticity demand elasticity elastic inelastic unit elastic Academic Vocabulary technical adequate
35
A.A B.B C.C Section 3 What happens to a farmer’s revenue if he or she raises the price of his or her watermelons? A.Revenue will increase B.Revenue will decrease C.Revenue will stay the same
36
Section 3 Elasticity of Demand An important cause-and-effect relationship in economics is elasticity.elasticity Profiles in Economics: Oprah Winfrey
37
Section 3 Demand Elasticity When the price of an item changes, the change in quantity demanded can vary a little or a lot.
38
Section 3 Demand Elasticity (cont.) Consumers react to changes in price by changing the quantity demanded. The size of the reaction is demand elasticity.demand elasticity Demand can be –Elastic—fresh produceElastic –Inelastic—table saltInelastic –Unit elasticUnit elastic Demand Elasticity and the Total Expenditures Test
39
A.A B.B C.C Section 3 If a given change in price causes a proportional change in quantity demanded, the demand is what? A.Inelastic B.Unit elastic C.Elastic
40
Section 3 The Total Expenditures Test The total expenditures test is used to estimate the demand elasticity of a product.
41
Section 3 Total expenditures—the price of a product multiplied by the quantity demanded for any point along the demand curve. Can test for elasticity by observing the change in total expenditures when the price changes. Three results occur: The Total Expenditures Test (cont.) –Elastic demand—an “inverse” relationship between price and expenditures
42
Section 3 The Total Expenditures Test (cont.) –Inelastic demand—movement occurs in the same direction Elasticity and revenues –Raising the price of an inelastic product may help increase revenue. –Raising the price of an elastic product will likely decrease revenue. –Unit elastic—no change in expenditure
43
A.A B.B C.C Section 3 Is the demand for automobiles— A.Elastic? B.Inelastic? C.Unit elastic?
44
Section 3 Determinants of Demand Elasticity The answers to three questions help determine a product’s demand elasticity.
45
Section 3 Must answer three questions to determine if a demand for a good is elastic or inelastic. –Can the purchase be delayed? –Are adequate substitutes available? –Does the purchase use a large portion of income? Determinants of Demand Elasticity (cont.) Determinants of Demand Elasticity
46
A.A B.B C.C Section 3 Is the purchase of a prom dress or tuxedo— A.Elastic? B.Inelastic? C.Unit elastic?

Section 3-End
48
Law of Demand The Law of Demand states that when the price goes up, quantity demanded goes down. When the price goes down, quantity demanded goes up. VS 1
49
VS 2 Change in Demand When a change in demand occurs, people want to buy different amounts of a product at the same price. A change in demand can happen for several reasons.
50
VS 3 Demand and Elasticity Changes in price and total expenditures help determine the demand elasticity of a product.
