Document Summary
Model uses a perfectly competitive market: assumptions. No barrier to new firms entering the market. Ex. market for wheat or agricultural products. Market demand- demand by all the consumers of a given good or service. Demand schedule- table that shows the relationship between the price of a product and the quantity of the product demanded. Demand curve- curve that shows the relationship between the price of a product and the quantity of the product demanded. When we draw a demand curve, we assume ceteris paribus: When analyzing the relationship between 2 variables- such as price and quantity demanded- other variables must be held constant. Quantity demanded- amount of good or service that a consumer is willing and able to purchase at a given price. Law of demand- price falls, quantity demanded increases; prices rises, quantity demanded decreases. Consumer substitute toward the newly less-expensive good.
