Chapter 4 : The Demand for Goods and Services

Price goes up demand goes down
Price goes down demand goes up

Define Law of Demand : (Listing Question)

the amount of a good that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a particular price over a given period of time (movement)

Define Quantity of Demand :

movement - change in price (is on the same line on the graph)

What is the movement for quantity of demand?

1. Substitution Effect
2. Income Effect

What are two factors that affect a consumer buying?

when an increase in the price of a good causes a consumer to switch away from that good & toward other goods that do not experience a price increase

Define Substitution Effect :

price of coke doubles so you buy pepsi

What is an example of a substitution effect ?

the change in consumption that occurs when a price increase causes consumers to feel poorer or when a price decrease causes them to feel richer or an actual change in income (the more $ you make the more buy or the less $ you make, the less you buy)

Define an Income Effect :

a table that relates the quantity demanded of a particular good to its price

Define a Demand Schedule :

a graphical representation of the demand schedule for a good showing the quantity demanded at each price (Shift)

Define a Demand Curve :

a change in the amount people are willing and able to buy at every price (change in demand and it is side to side)

Shift of the demand curve represents :

right

**Increase in demand will shift the curve to the :

left

**Decrease in demand will shift the curve to the

a shift of the demand curve due to the quantity demanded not a change in price - (shift - price does not change)

Define Change in Demand :

caused due to a change in the price

Define Movement along a demand curve :

price does not change

A change in demand :

1. Taste
2. Income
3. Price related goods
4. Expectations
5. Number of Buyers

Events that can influence a shift in demand : (Listing)

an increase in demand when income rises or a decrease in demand when income decreases describe a normal good (buy this when you have more money)

Define a Normal Good :

an increase in demand when income decreases or a decrease in demand when income increases (substitute, less expensive)

Define an Inferior Good :

buying combo meal at a fast food place

Example of a normal good:

buying off the $1.00 menu at a fast food place

Example of an inferior good:

it just means it is less expensive

Inferior does not mean the item is not good :

inferior good

When you buy the store brand instead of the name brand, that is an :

it costs less

Sometimes the store brand is better but it is considered an inferior good because :

when an increase in the price of one of the goods leads to an increase in the demand for the other good

Define Substitutes :

price of coke goes up so you buy pepsi

What is an example of a substitute :

when two goods are consumed together and an increase in the price of one of the goods leads to a decrease in the demand for the other good.

Define complements :

increase in the price of syrup leads to a decrease in the demand for pancakes

What is an example of a complement :

storm- so everybody fills up with gas, goes to the store and buys food for the next two weeks

Give an example of Customer Expectations :

(more buyers = higher demand)

Give an example of a Number of Buyers :

a measure of how strongly consumers respond to a change in the price of a good (calculated as the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price)

Define Elasticity of demand :

when consumers respond to a change in price with a relatively large change in the quantity demanded

Define Elastic :

luxuries (vacation), availability of a close substitute (price of oranges double so you buy tangerines)

What are Examples of items that would be elastic :

when consumers respond to a change in price with a relatively small change in the quantity demanded

Define Inelastic :

Necessities such as medication needed to live - no matter the cost, If there is not a substitute you will buy it so it is inelastic

What are Examples of items that would be inelastic:

inelastic

If you were going into business it would be better to produce goods that were __________ - even if the price goes up - consumer will still demand the product
