DEMAND DEFINEDWhat is Demand?
Demand is the different quantities of goods that consumers are willing and able to buy at different prices.(Ex: You are able to purchase diapers, but if you
aren’t willing to buy then there is NO demand)
What is the Law of Demand? There is an INVERSE relationship between
price and quantity demanded

Why does the Law of Demand occur?
The law of demand is the result of three separate behavior patterns that overlap:
1.The Substitution effect
2.The Income effect
3.The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility
We will define and explain each…4

• If the price goes up for a product, consumer buy less of that product and more of another substitute product (and vice versa)
1. The Substitution Effect
• If the price goes down for a product, the purchasing power increases for consumers -allowing them to purchase more.
2. The Income Effect

• Utility = Satisfaction• We buy goods because we get utility from them• The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as you
consume anything, the additional satisfaction that you will receive will eventually start to decrease
• In other words, the more you buy of ANY GOOD the less satisfaction you get from each new unit consumed.
Discussion Questions:1. What does this have to do with the Law of Demand?2. How does this effect the pricing of businesses?

The Demand Curve• A demand curve is a graphical representation
of a demand schedule.• The demand curve is downward sloping
showing the inverse relationship between price (on the y-axis) and quantity demanded (on the x-axis)
• When reading a demand curve, assume all outside factors, such as income, are held constant. (This is called ceteris paribus)
Let’s draw a new demand curve for milk…

Shifts in Demand• Ceteris paribus-“all other things held constant.”• When the ceteris paribus assumption is dropped,
movement no longer occurs along the demand curve. Rather, the entire demand curve shifts.
• A shift means that at the same prices, more people are willing and able to purchase that good.
This is a change in demand, not a change in quantity demanded
PRICE DOESN’T SHIFT THE CURVE

There are two ways to increase quantity from 10 to 20
D2
1. A to B is a change in quantity demand (due to a change in price)
2. A to C is a change in demand (shift in the curve)

What Causes a Shift in Demand?
5 Shifters (Determinates) of Demand:
1.Tastes and Preferences2.Number of Consumers3.Price of Related Goods4.Income5.Future Expectations
Changes in PRICE don’t shift the curve. It only causes movement along the curve.

Prices of Related Goods
2. Complements are two goods that are bought and used together. – Ex: If price of hot dogs falls, demand for hot dog
buns will... – If the price of one increase, the demand for the
other will fall. (or vice versa)
1. Substitutes are goods used in place of one another. – Ex: If price of Pepsi falls, demand for coke will…– If the price of one increases, the demand for the
other will increase (or vice versa)
The demand curve for one good can be affected by a change in the price of ANOTHER related good.

Income
2. Inferior Goods – Ex: Top Ramen, used cars, used clothes – As income increases, demand falls– As income falls, demand increases
1. Normal Goods – Ex: Luxury cars, Sea Food, jewelry, homes– As income increases, demand increases– As income falls, demand falls
The incomes of consumer change the demand, but how depends on the type of good.
