Document Summary

Marginal cost (mc) = additional cost if action is taken. Mc if output of shirts increases by one. to sewer mc = (oc of spent is ) (oc of your time) mc = (oc of spent plus oc of your time) Many buyers and sellers, each of whom has no influence on market price. Other things equal, the higher is the price of a good, the lower is the quantity demanded. Market demand curve: sum of individual demand curves. No change in: price of related goods, income, preferences. If price of a substitute increases, demand for good increases. If price of a complement increases, demand for good decreases. Shift in demand curve for ice cream cones: usually hot summer, sharp drop in price of yogurt cones (substitute) Other things equal, the higher is the price of a good, the higher is the quantity supplied.

In the table below, individual demand schedules for Tex, Dex, and Rex are shown in addition to total market demand.

Fill in the missing values in this table.

Price	Tex Q_d	Dex Q_d	Rex Q_d	Total Quantity Demanded
$8	3	3	2
7	5	4		15
6		5	10	22
5	9		14	29
4	11	7	18

a. Which buyer (Tex, Dex, or Rex) demands the most at a price of $7?

b. Which buyer's quantity demanded increases the least when the price is lowered from $7 to $6?

c. Which direction would the market demand curve shift if Tex withdrew from the market?

d. What if Dex doubled his purchases at each possible price?

e. Suppose that at a price of $6, the total quantity demanded increases from 22 to 32 units. Is this a 'change in the quantity demanded' or a 'change in demand'?
