Chapter 4 Demand and Supply in The Output Market

What determines demand for a good by a household?

1. Price of product

2. income of household

3. price of related good

4. consumer taste of preferences

5. future expectations of either income or prices,

6. number of buyers (demand)

Key relationship: price of the product(p) and quantity demanded (q^d)

A. The Law of Demand

Demand schedule- shows quantity of good that an individual would be willing to

purchase at different prices.

(Ex). Al’s Demand Schedule (slices of pizzas)

Price Quantity of Demand

$10

Demand Curve (D) : graphical representation of the demand schedule (price on the y-axis,

quantity of demand on x-axis, linear representation)

●Negative relationship between price and quantity demanded

●As prices go up quantity of demand goes down, prices down, quantity of demand

goes up

●Law of Demand: as prices increase, q^d falls; conversely, prices decrease, q^d rises.

B. Other Determinants of Demand

1. Household Income- sum of all earnings that are gained in a given period of time

(must specify time period)

2. Normal good- if quantity demanded increases as income increases (or if q^d goes

down as income goes down, also normal)

3. Inferior goods- q^d decreases as income goes up (if q^d increases if income

decreases)

Prices of Related Goods

●Changes in the price of one good may affect q^d as another good

●Substitutes- serve as replacements for each other

Let good X and good Y be substitutes. If price of good X increases the quantity of demand

for Y will increase. If price of Coke, goes up, people buy more Pepsi. If price of Coke goes

down, people will buy less Pepsi and more Coke.

●Complements- if they go together (hot dogs and hot dog buns, printer and ink

cartridges)

If price of good X goes up, then q^d of Y would go down.

If price of good X goes down, then q^d of Y goes up.

Tastes and Preferences

●If change in tastes and preferences, demand will go down

Expectations of Future Income and/or Prices

●Can affect household demand today

- receive a layoff notice, expect decrease in future income

- expect price of a car to fall next month,

●Expectations of higher prices/income, in future, demand will increase today

●Lower prices/income, demand will decrease today

Number of Buyers

●Increase in buyers, more demand

●Decrease in buyers, less demand

C. Movement Along Curve vs. Shift of Demand Curve

●If only prices change, movement along the demand curve (change in quantity

demanded)

●Change in any other factor, shift in the entire demand curve (change in demand)
