it's all about demand and supply analysis....!!!

2. Supply and demand are the two words
that economists use most often.
Supply and demand are the forces that
make market economies work.
Modern microeconomics is about
supply, demand, and market
equilibrium.

3. A market is a group of buyers and
sellers of a particular good or service.
The terms supply and demand refer to
the behavior of people . . . as they
interact with one another in markets.

4. Buyers determine demand.
Sellers determine supply.

5. A competitive market is a market. . .
…with many buyers and sellers.
…that is not controlled by any one person.
…in which a narrow range of prices are
established that buyers and sellers act upon.

6. Products are the same
Numerous buyers and sellers so that each
has no influence over price
Buyers and Sellers are price takers
Perfect Competition

7. Monopoly
One seller, and seller controls price
Oligopoly
Few sellers
Not always aggressive competition

8. Monopolistic Competition
Many sellers
Slightly differentiated products
Each seller may set price for its own
product

9. Quantity demanded
is the amount
of a good that buyers are
willing and able
to purchase.

10. Price demand:
Refers to the various quantities of goods and
services that a consumer would purchase at a given
time in a market at various hypothetical prices.

11. Income demand:
Refers to the various quantities of goods and
services which would be purchased by the
consumers at various levels of income.

12. Cross demand:
Means the quantities of goods and services which
will be purchased with reference to change in price
not of this good but of other inter-related goods.

13. The law of demand states that
there is an inverse
relationship between price
and quantity demanded.

14. The demand schedule is a table
that shows the relationship
between the price of the good
and the quantity demanded.

17. The demand curve is the downward-

demanded.

19. Substitution effect: when the price of
good rises, we substitute other
similar goods for it.
Income effect: when prices price
goes up we find ourselves poorer
than we were before.

20. Ceteris paribus is a Latin phrase that
means all variables other than the
ones being studied are assumed to
be constant. Literally, ceteris paribus
means “other things being equal.”
The demand curve slopes downward
because, ceteris paribus, lower prices
imply a greater quantity demanded!

21. Market demand refers to the sum of
all individual demands for a
particular good or service.
Graphically, individual demand
curves are summed horizontally to
obtain the market demand curve.

22. Change in Quantity Demanded
Movement along the demand curve.
Caused by a change in the price of
the product.

29. When a fall in the price of one good
reduces the demand for another good,
the two goods are called substitutes.
When a fall in the price of one good
increases the demand for another
good, the two goods are called
complements.

30. Quantity supplied is the amount of a
good that sellers are willing and able
to sell.

31. The law of supply states that there is a
direct (positive) relationship between
price and quantity supplied.

32. Market price
Cost of production(inputs)

are summed horizontally to obtain

42. Market Equilibrium
 Market Equilibrium comes at that price and
quantity where the forces of supply and
demand are in balance.
 The equilibrium price is also called the
market-clearing price.

43. Equilibrium Price
The price that balances supply and demand.
On a graph, it is the price at which the supply
and demand curves intersect.
Equilibrium Quantity
The quantity that balances supply and demand.
On a graph it is the quantity at which the supply
and demand curves intersect.

47. When the price is above the equilibrium price, the
quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded.
There is excess supply or a surplus. Suppliers will
lower the price to increase sales, thereby moving
toward equilibrium.

49. When the price is below the equilibrium price, the
quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied.
There is excess demand or a shortage. Suppliers
