CHAPTER 3 Value and Demand
3
Objectives: You should be able to... Identify and explain the principle of diminishing marginal utility Describe the three functions of price. Define demand. Identify the law of demand. Explain how changes in demand occur.

Biblical Integration: This world constantly changes, but God is the same today, as He was yesterday, and as He will continue to be tomorrow. (Heb.13:8)

Value The buyer determines the value of an item!The buyer determines the value of an item! Subjective Value = worth determined by the buyerSubjective Value = worth determined by the buyer CHAPTER 3 pp. 44-50

principle of diminishing marginal utility CHAPTER 3 pp. 44-50 people tend to receive less and less (diminishing) additional (marginal) satisfaction (utility) from any good or service as they obtain more and more of it during a specific period of time

CHANGE IN DEMAND Figure 4.3 shows changes in demand. 1.When demand decreases, the demand curve shifts leftward from D 0 to D 1. 2.When demand increases, the demand curve shifts rightward from D 0 to D 2. (Bade 94)

Change in Demand = Shift 1.A change in people’s incomes 2.A change in the price of related goods 3.A change in people’s tastes and preferences 4.A change in people’s expectations 5.A change in the number of consumers CHAPTER 3 pp. 50-56

Activity 3 focuses on the factors that shift the demand curve (homework sheets).Activity 3 focuses on the factors that shift the demand curve (homework sheets). Activity 4 reinforces the factors that cause a demand curve to shift, the direction of the shift and whether the shift represents an increase or decrease in demand.Activity 4 reinforces the factors that cause a demand curve to shift, the direction of the shift and whether the shift represents an increase or decrease in demand.

MOVEMENT ALONG A DEMAND CURVE As the price declines from P to P1, the quantity increases from Q to Q1As the price declines from P to P1, the quantity increases from Q to Q1 As the price decreases, the quantity demanded increasesAs the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases
44
SHIFT IN DEMAND The graph shows an increase in demand is a shift to the right (and a decrease in demand is a shift to the left) Increase in demand from D to D 1 shows that at the same price (P), the quantity increased from Q to Q 1.

Use the first column to the right of the headline to show whether the event causes a change in demand.Use the first column to the right of the headline to show whether the event causes a change in demand. Use the next column to record whether the change is an increase or a decrease in demand.Use the next column to record whether the change is an increase or a decrease in demand. In the third column, decide whether the curve shifts left or right.In the third column, decide whether the curve shifts left or right. Finally, write the letter for the new demand curve.Finally, write the letter for the new demand curve. Use Figure 4.1 to help you.Use Figure 4.1 to help you. Always start at curve B, and move only one curve at a time.Always start at curve B, and move only one curve at a time.

ACTIVITY 4: REASONS FOR CHANGE IN DEMAND Part BPart B Categorize each change in demand in Part A according to the reason why demand changed.Categorize each change in demand in Part A according to the reason why demand changed. A given demand curve assumes that consumer expectations, consumer tastes and preferences, the number of consumers in the market, the income of consumers, and the prices of substitutes and complements are unchanged. In the table, place an X next to the reason that the event described in the headline caused a change in demand.A given demand curve assumes that consumer expectations, consumer tastes and preferences, the number of consumers in the market, the income of consumers, and the prices of substitutes and complements are unchanged. In the table, place an X next to the reason that the event described in the headline caused a change in demand. One headline will have no answer because it is a change in quantity demanded.One headline will have no answer because it is a change in quantity demanded.
