1.2 Demand1.2 Demand

Definition: “Demand” can be defined as the purchase of product.

ONE household / individual

ALL Household / Individual

Household / individual demand

Demand curve (graph) Demand function (equation)

Demand curve (graph):

Quantity of X demanded, QdX = f (PX; PY, I, preference, and others)

Demand function (equation):

Factor effecting demandFactor effecting quantity demanded

Page 6: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

Quantity of X demanded, QdX = f (PX; PY, I, preference, and others)

Demand function (equation):

Law of Demand:– negative, or inverse relationship

between price & quantity– movement along demand curve– change in quantity demanded

(i) Relationship of products: – substitution or complement product: (PY) – normal, luxury or inferior products: (I)(ii) Shift of DD curve: (PY, I, preference, and others) – (later section) new equilibrium price & quantity

Law of Demand:

Figure 2.3: Price & Quantity Demanded: The Law of Demand

Law of Demand:– negative, or inverse relationship– movement along demand curve– change in quantity demanded

Why?:Due to the income constraint and utility interaction.

Exception?: Giffin product.

Page 8: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

Shift of DD curve & Relationship of products:

PY change: Substitute

– Substitutes are products that can replace one another – Positive relationship between PY and demand for X

(the substitute product): When (PY) increases, demand for X increases.

– Examples: Coffee & tea; Coca-cola & Pepsi Cola

Law of demand Substitution product

Page 9: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

9

PY change: Complement

– Complement are products that are consumed together

– Negative relationship between PY and demand for Z (the complement product): When (PY) decreases, demand for Z increases.

– Examples: Car & petrol; coffee & sugar

Law of demand Complement product

Shift of DD curve & Relationship of products:

Page 10: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

Income change: Normal Product– Demand increase when income

increase – Examples: Cloth & movie

Normal product

Inferior product

Income change: Luxury Product– Same effect as normal product but

demand increase more when income increase

– Examples: luxury car.

Income change: Inferior Product– Low quality products (potato &

secondhand cloth) – Income increase, demand decrease

(able to buy better quality product).

Necessity Product? Insignificant product?

– Their consumption did not effect much by change in income. Their consumption is only a very small percentage of total income.

– The demand curve did not shift (or shift too little that we can ignore)

– Examples: salt

Shift of DD curve & Relationship of products:

Page 12: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

12

Other factors: Taste / preference

Other factors: Expected future price

Other factors: Increase of buyer

– Demand increase when taste / preference towards the product increase (DD curve shift to the left)

– Examples: low fat item & fashion

– Demand increase when Future price of product is expected to increase (DD curve shift to the left)

– Examples: If petrol price to increase from 12am tomorrow, demand for petrol increase immediately (today).

– Increase in number of buyer, increase demand (DD curve shift to the left)

Definition: “Supply” can be defined as selling of product.

Quantity of X demanded, QSX = f (PX; K, L, technology, PY and others)

Supply function (equation):

Law of Supply:– positive relationship between price & quantity– movement along supply curve– change in quantity supplied

Shift of SS curve: (K, L, technology, PY and others) – (later section) new equilibrium price & quantity

Page 16: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

16

Law of Supply:

Figure 2.7: Price & Quantity Supplied: The Law of Supply

Law of Supply:– positive relationship– movement along supply curve– change in quantity supplied

Why?:Due to the higher revenue & profit (assuming every quantity supplied can be sold).

Page 17: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

17

Shift of SS curve:

Change in K, L, technology, PY:

– E.g. reduced in cost of capital, reduced in wages, technology improvement, price of other product decline, expected future price to decline >>> shift the SS curve to the right

1.4 Market Equilibrium1.4 Market Equilibrium

3 set of market condition:

(a) The quantity demanded equal the quantity supplied at the current price. This situation called “equilibrium”

(b) The quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied at the current price. This situation called “excess demand”

(c) The quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded at the current price. This situation called “excess supply”

Page 20: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

20

(a) Equilibrium

Quantity supplied = Quantity demanded

(No tendency for the market price to change )

Quantity supplied > Quantity demanded(Excess supply or surplus)

Equilibrium quantity

Equilibrium price

Equilibrium point

Page 21: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

21

(b) Excess demand (shortage)

Quantity demanded > Quantity supplied

Price tend to rise (as buyer willing to pay more)

Price increases >> quantity demanded fall (law of demand) while quantity supplied rise (law of supply).

Price increase to RM 20 (all excess demand wipe out by increased in quantity supplied and reduced in quantity demanded.

Page 22: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

22

(c) Excess supply (surplus)

Quantity supplied > Quantity demanded

Price tend to drop (as seller willing to sell at lower price)

Price drop >> quantity demanded rise (law of demand) while quantity supplied drop (law of supply). Price drop to RM 20 (all excess supply wipe out by decreased in quantity supplied and increased in quantity demanded.

Price (1) Vertical SS curve:

Example of vertical SS is supply of durian.

The equilibrium quantity is determined entirely by supply condition.

The equilibrium price is determined entirely by demand condition.

(2) Horizontal SS curve:

Horizontal SS exist when all suppliers fixed a price for any quantity.

1.6 Supply and Demand Analysis: An Example1.6 Supply and Demand Analysis: An Example

(a) Proton Berhad decreases the price of its car model, Proton Savvy from P0 to P1. Explain the law of demand

and based on it, explain what will happen to the quantity demanded for Proton Savvy car. Sketch a graph to illustrate your explanation.

Page 30: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

30

(b) What will be the effect of Proton Savvy car price drop to its competitor model, the Perodua MyVi? Sketch a graph to illustrate your explanation

Page 31: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

31

(c) Assume that Proton Savvy cars need a specific regular maintenance service to bring out the performance of the car. Based on situation in (a), what will happen to the demand of that specific regular maintenance service?

Page 32: DEMAND, SUPPLY & MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

32

(d) Assume Proton Savvy car has an inelastic price elasticity of demand. If Proton Berhad drops the price of its Proton Savvy car to increase its revenue from its Proton Savvy sales, do you think it is a wise strategy?

Not a wise strategy.Percentage of quantity demanded increase is less than percentage of price drop.Increase in revenue due to quantity demanded increase is less than decrease in revenue due to price drop. Therefore, the net effect is that revenue will drop, not increase.
