1

Income effect

when prices are low, people are easily able to afford it since their budget would allow it.

New cards
2

Subsidies

are the opposite of taxes and help reduce price per unit.

New cards
3

entire curve

Changes in demand are when the ________ would shift upwards or downwards.

New cards
4

inverse impact

The cost of production (land, labor, capital) has a(n) ________ on the supply.

New cards
5

Disequilibrium

This occurs when there is a shortage or surplus in the market.

New cards
6

surplus

would only exist when the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded.

New cards
7

Quantity Supplied

has a direct relationship with changes in the price of a particular good.

New cards
8

Substitution effect

When products price increase, they tend to increase in relative to other products.

New cards
9

equilibrium price

When supply is constant and only demand increases, ________ and quantity increases.

New cards
10

Demand

tends to decline (shift downwards) for inferior goods with an increase in consumer income.

New cards
11

Shift

in supply is due to the determinants of supply.

New cards
12

The law of supply

states that when prices increase, the supply increases as well direct relation

New cards
13

Taxes

are added up to the unit cost of production, thus making it more expensive.

New cards
14

Change in the quantity demanded

only occurs due to change in price movement along the curve.

New cards
15

Goods

are usually categorized into 2 types, inferior and normal.

New cards
16

Consumer expectation

pays a major role in the determination of the price.

New cards
17

Determinants of supply

are the factors that influence the supplier to offer more or fewer goods at the same price.

New cards
18

supply curve

Since price has a different impact on both buyers and sellers, the ________ is different than a demand curve.

New cards
19

equilibrium price

When supply is constant and only demand decreases, ________ and quantity decreases.

New cards
20

Demand

for a product is the quantity the customers are willing and able to pay for each and every price.

New cards
21

equilibrium price

When demand is constant and only supply increases, ________ and quantity decreases.

New cards
22

equilibrium price

When demand is constant and only supply decreases, ________ and quantity increases.

New cards
23

Income effect

when prices are low, people are easily able to afford it since their budget would allow it

New cards
24

Substitution effect

when products price increase, they tend to increase in relative to other products

New cards
25

Diminishing marginal utility

As more units of a product are consumed, the satisfaction/utility it provides tends to decline

New cards
26

Quantity Demanded

Has an inverse relationship with changes in the price of a particular good

New cards
27

Determinants of Demand

the factors that cause consumers to buy more or less at the same price; these are substitutes, preferences, population, income, complements, and expectations

New cards
28

Quantity Supplied

has a direct relationship with changes in the price of a particular good

New cards
29

The Equilibrium Price

price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded

New cards
30

Disequilibrium

This occurs when there is a shortage or surplus in the market

New cards
31

Double-shift rule

This rule states that when there is a simultaneous shift in both demand and supply, either price or quantity would stay indeterminate
