Principles of Economics - Chapter 3: Theory of Demand and Theory of Supply

Page 2: Definition of Demand

  • Demand: Ability and willingness to buy specific quantities of goods at a particular price within a given time frame, ceteris paribus.

Page 3: Classification of Goods and Services

  • Free Goods: No production cost.

  • Public Goods: Common use, benefits everyone.

  • Economic Goods: Tangible goods of value.

  • Economic Services: Intangible goods of value.

Page 4: Law of Demand

  • Law of Demand: Inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.

    • Higher price (P ↑) leads to lower quantity demanded (Qdd ↓).

    • Lower price (P ↓) leads to higher quantity demanded (Qdd ↑).

Page 5: Demand Schedule and Curve

  • Demand Schedule: Table showing price and quantity demanded.

  • Demand Curve: Graphical representation of the demand schedule.

Page 6: Individual and Market Demand

  • Individual Demand: Quantity demanded by a single individual at various prices.

  • Market Demand: Total quantity demanded by all consumers in the market at various prices.

Page 7: Determinants of Demand

  • Factors influencing demand:

    • Price of related goods

    • Consumers’ income

    • Tastes and trends

    • Population or number of buyers

    • Supply of money in circulation

    • Expectations about future prices

    • Advertisement

Page 8: Changes in Quantity Demanded vs. Changes in Demand

  • Changes in Quantity Demanded:

    • Movement along the demand curve due to price changes.

    • Contraction (decrease) and Expansion (increase) in quantity demanded.

  • Changes in Demand:

    • Shift in the demand curve due to changes in other factors while price remains constant.

Page 9: Exceptional Demand

  • Giffen Goods: Demand increases as price increases, contrary to the Law of Demand.

  • Other examples include status symbol goods, speculation, emergencies, and highly-priced goods.

Page 10: Inter-Related Demand

  • Cross Demand: Demand affected by the price of substitutes or complementary goods.

    • Joint Demand: Demand for goods that are used together.

    • Competitive Demand: Demand for substitute goods.

Page 11: Cross Demand: Joint Demand vs. Competitive Demand

  • Joint Demand: Negative relationship between complementary goods.

  • Competitive Demand: Positive relationship between substitute goods.

Page 12: Derived Demand

  • Demand for a good derived from the demand for another good.

Page 13: Interrelated Demand - Composite Demand

  • Composite Demand: Demand for a good with multiple uses (e.g., oil for petrol, kerosene, diesel).

Page 15: Definition of Supply

  • eduSupply: Ability and willingness to sell or produce a product at a particular price within a given time frame, ceteris paribus.

Page 16: Law of Supply

  • Law of Supply: Direct relationship between price and quantity supplied.

    • Higher price (P ↑) leads to greater quantity supplied (Qss ↑).

    • Lower price (P ↓) leads to lower quantity supplied (Qss ↓).

Page 17: Supply Schedule and Curve

  • he market at various prices.

  • Supply Schedule: Table showing price and quantity supplied.

  • Supply Curve: Graphical representation of the supply schle.

Page 18: Individual and Market Supply

  • Individual Supply: Quantity supplied by a single seller at various prices.

  • Market Supply: Total quantity supplied by all sellers in t

Page 19: Determinants of Supply

  • Factors influencing supply:

    • Price of related goods

    • Number of sellers

    • Improvement in infrastructure

    • Government policies

    • Proportion of expenditure on a product

    • Expected future price

    • Technological advancement

    • Cost of production

Page 20: Change in Quantity Supplied vs. Change in Supply

  • Change in Quantity Supplied:

    • Movement along the supply curve due to price changes.

    • Contraction (decrease) and Expansion (increase) in quantity supplied.

  • Change in Supply:

    • Shift in the supply curve due to changes in other factors while price remains constant.

Page 21: Exceptional Supply

  • Exceptional Supply: Opposite of the Law of Supply; as price increases, quantity supplied decreases.

Page 22: Interrelated Supply - Joint Supply

  • Joint Supply: Increase in the supply of one good leads to an increase in the supply of another related good.
