The Marketplace (cont.)
• In a market economy, consumers collectively have a great deal of influence on prices of all goods and services.
• The demand of a good or service creates supply.
• A market represents the freely chosen actions between buyers and sellers.
12
The Marketplace (cont.)
• Name some examples of markets (any place where buyers and sellers come together:
– Stores—IGA, Walmart, etc.
– Service Businesses—beauty shop, insurance agency, etc.
– Entertainment—movie theater, concerts, ball games
13
The Marketplace (cont.)
• A market economy is based on the principle of voluntary exchange.
– Supply and demand analysis is a model of how buyers and sellers operate in the marketplace.

The Law of Demand The law of demand states that as price goes up, quantity demanded goes down, and vice versa.
16
The Law of Demand (cont.)
• The law of demand explains consumer reactions to changing prices in terms of the quantities demanded of a good or service. There is an inverse or opposite relationship between quantity demanded and price.
View: The Law of Demand
17
The Law of Demand (cont.)
• Several factors explain the inverse relation between price and quantity demanded, or how much people will buy of any item at a particular price.
– Real income effect– Substitution effect
• Factors include:

Graphing the Demand Curve A demand curve is a graph that shows the relationship between the price of an item and the quantity demanded.
26
Graphing the Demand Curve (cont.)
• Economist can show the relationship between a change in quantity demanded and a change in demand using a demand curve.
View: Graphing the Demand Curve
27
Graphing the Demand Curve (cont.)
• A demand schedule is a table reflecting quantities demanded at different possibleprices.
• A demand curve shows the quantitydemanded of a good or service at each possible price. Demand curves slope downward, clearly showing the inverse relationship.

• How would this scenario affect the price of coffee?
• How might it affect the demand for substitute drinks?
• How might if affect the demand for complementary products, such as cream and sugar?
Scenario—A disease has destroyed much of the coffee crop in South America.
30
Determinates of Demand A change in the demand for a particular item shifts the entire demand curve to the left or right.
31
Determinates of Demand (cont.)
• Factors that can affect demand for a specific product or service:
– Changes in population
– Changes in income
– Changes in people’s tastes and preferences
View: If Population IncreasesView: If Income Decreases
View: If Preferences Change
32
Determinates of Demand (cont.)
– The availability and price of substitutes
– The price of complementary goods• The decrease in the price of one good will
increase the demand for its complementary.

34
The Price Elasticity of Demand Elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded changes when price goes up or down.
35
The Price Elasticity of Demand (cont.)
• For some goods, a rise or fall in price greatly affects the amount people are willing to buy. This economic concept is referred to as elasticity.
• The measure of how much consumers respond to a given change in price is referred to as price elasticity of demand.
View: Demand vs. Quantity DemandedView: Goods with…
36
The Price Elasticity of Demand (cont.)
• Staple foods, medicine, spices have aninelastic demand. A price change has little impact on the quantity demanded by consumers.
• Luxury items, vacations, high-end electronics, even coffee are examples of elastic goods/services and have a very elastic demand.
View: Elasticity of Demand
37
The Price Elasticity of Demand (cont.)
• Three factors determine the price elasticity of demand for an item:
– The existence of substitutes
– The percentage of a person’s total budget devoted to the purchase of that good
– The time consumers are given to adjust to a change in price

Profits and the Law of Supply The law of supply states that as price goes up, quantity supplied goes up, and vice versa.
45
Profits and the Law of Supply (cont.)
• To understand pricing, you must look at both demand and supply.
– The higher the price of a good, the greater the incentive is for a producer to produce more.
• The law of supply states that as the price of a good rises, the quantity supplied also rises. As the price falls, the quantity supplied also falls.
46
A. AB. BC. CD. DE. E
A higher price on an item serves what type of purpose for the producer?A. It returns higher revenues
from sales. B. It covers the costs of
producing more. C. It allows them to save
money for the next product.

The Supply Curve A supply curve is a graph that shows the relationship between price and quantity supplied.
48
The Supply Curve (cont.)
• A supply schedule is a table showing quantities supplied at different possible prices.
• The supply curve is an upward-sloping line that shows in graph form the quantities producers are willing to supply at each possible price.

The Determinants of Supply A change in the supply of a particular item shifts the entire supply curve to the left or right.
52
The Determinants of Supply (cont.)
• Many factors affect the supply of a specific product. Four of the major determinants are:
– The price of inputs
– The number of firms in the industry
– Taxes imposed or not imposed
View: If Inputs Become CheaperView: If Number of Firms Increases
View: If Taxes Increase
53
The Determinants of Supply (cont.)

The Law of Diminishing Returns When a business wants to expand, it has to consider how much expansion will really help the business.
56
The Law of Diminishing Returns (cont.)
• Will product output continue to increase proportionally as more workers are hired?
• The law of diminishing returns shows that as more units of a factor of production are added to the other factors of production, after a certain point, the extra output for each additional unit hired will begin to decrease.

Equilibrium Price In free markets, prices are determined by the interaction of supply and demand.
Shortage—The quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied at
the set price.
Surplus—The quantity supplied is
greater than the quantity demanded
at the set price.
Equilibrium Price—The quantity
demanded equals the quantity
supplied.
64
Equilibrium Price (cont.)
• Demand and supply operate together. As the price of a good goes down, the quantity demanded rises and the quantity supplied falls (and vice versa).
• The point at which the quantity demanded and quantity supplied meet is called the equilibrium price.

Prices as Signals Under a free-enterprise system, prices function as signals that communicate information and coordinate the activities of producers and consumers.
67
Prices as Signals (cont.)
• Rising prices signal producers to produce more and consumers to purchase less.
• Falling prices signal producers to produce less and consumers to purchase more.
• A shortage occurs when at the current price, the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied.
• Prices above the equilibrium price reflect a surplus to suppliers.
68
Prices as Signals (cont.)
• When a market economy operates without restriction, it eliminates shortages and surpluses.
– When a shortage occurs, the price goes up to eliminate the shortage.
– When surpluses occur, the price falls to eliminate the surplus.

Price Controls Under certain circumstances, the government sometimes sets a limit on how high or low a price of a good or service can go.
71
Price Controls (cont.)
• The government sometimes gets involved in setting prices if it believes such measures are needed to protect consumers and suppliers.
72
Price Controls (cont.)
– Effective price ceilings, and resulting shortages, often lead to non-market ways of distributing goods and services such as rationing and leading to the black market.
• A price ceiling is a government-set maximum price that may be charged for a particular good or service.

73
Price Controls (cont.)
• Conversely, a price floor, is a government-set minimum price that can be charged for goods and services.
