Supply
The amount that firms will produce and offer for sale under certain conditions during
a specified time period |
Identify the supply and demand graphs:
|
shifts to left
If someone's income increases, what would be the impact on the demand for an inferior good?
|
Law of Demand
When the price of a good goes up, people buy less of it, other things being equal.
When the price of a good goes down, people buy more of it, other things being equal. (3 words) |
What price is the equilibrium point at?
|
the demand for pens shifts right
Assuming pencils and pens are substitutes. What would happen to the demand for pencils if the price of pens increases?
|
Normal Goods
Goods for which the demand rises when consumer income rises are called:
|
shortage of 2000
Is there a surplus or a shortage at $20? How large is it?
|
- Demand curve would shift to the right
- Because these two goods are consumed together, the decrease in the price of one will lead to increased demand for the other
Assuming lettuce and tomatoes are complements of one another, how and why would a decrease in the price of lettuce impact the demand curve of tomatoes?
|
Subsidy
Money granted by the government to assist an industry so that the price of a commodity may remain low.
|
- income
- tastes and preferences - prices of related goods: complements/substitutes - Expectations - Market size
What causes demand to move from d1 to d2?
|
Increase Quantity Supplied
What impact would an increase of the price of tomatoes have on a supply graph?
|
- income
- tastes and preferences - prices of related goods: complements/substitutes - Expectations - Market size
Name a determinant of demand
|
ex. # of suppliers increases; demand increases because incomes increased. The effect of the increased incomes affected the market more than the new suppliers.
What event(s) would cause this shift in demand and supply?
|
can create a shortage
What would be the impact of a per unit subsidy be on both the supply and demand graph?
