What is a Demand Curve?Depicts the relationship
between price and quantity demanded

Why do Demand Curves have a Negative Slope?
At a higher price consumers will buy fewer units, and at a lower price they will buy more units
![Page 8: 03 market supply and demand](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020717/54beae4f4a795929458b469a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What is aDemand Schedule?
Shows the specific quantity of a good or service that people are willing and able to buy at different prices

The law of demand states there is an inverse relationship between the price and the quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. A market demand curve is the horizontal summation of individual demand curves.

A change in quantity demanded is a movement along a stationary demand curve caused by a change in price. When any of the nonprice determinants of demand changes, the demand curve responds by shifting. An increase in demand (rightward shift) or a decrease in demand (leftward shift) is caused by a change in one of the nonprice determinants.

The law of supply states there is a direst relationship between the price and the quantity supplied, ceteris paribus. The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of individual supply curves.

67
A change in quantity supplied is a movement along a stationary supply curve caused by a change in price. When any of the nonprice determinants of supply changes, the supply curve responds by shifting. An increase in supply (rightward shift) or a decrease in supply (leftward shift) is caused by a change in one of the nonprice determinants.

A surplus or shortage exists at any price where the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied are not equal. When the price of a good is greater than the equilibrium price, there is an excess quantity supplied called a surplus. When the price is less than the equilibrium price, there is an excess quantity demanded called a shortage.
![Page 72: 03 market supply and demand](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020717/54beae4f4a795929458b469a/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Equilibrium is the unique price and quantity established at the intersection of the supply and the demand curves. Only at equilibrium does quantity demanded equal quantity supplied.

The price system is the supply and demand mechanism that establishes equilibrium through the ability of prices to rise or fall.

2. The law of demand states that the quantity demanded of a good changes, other things being equal, whena. the price of the good changes.b. consumer income changes.c. the prices of other goods change.d. a change occurs in the quantities of other
goods purchased.
A. A “change in demand” means that the whole curve shifts, but a “change in the quantity demanded” means that there is movement along a stationary curve.

for tea.b. A downward movement along the
demand curve for tea.c. A rightward shift in the demand curve
for tea.d. An upward movement along the
demand curve for tea.B. Because demand curves have a negative
slope, as the price declines, the quantity demanded will increase.

curve.c. firm to supply a larger quantity at any

autos.c. leftward shift of the supply curve for
autos.d. reduction in the demand for autos.C. A change in costs for a business is a factor that will shift the supply curve. If costs go up, as in the case of having to pay higher wages, the supplier has less of an ability to supply cars.

$10.d. surplus will cause the price to rise toward
$10.
C. When the price of a good is below the market price, there are more units being supplied than being demanded. The result is a shortage and consumers will bid the price up toward the equilibrium price.
