This document discusses the basic elements of supply and demand. It defines demand and supply schedules and curves, and the laws of demand and supply. It also outlines several factors that affect supply and demand curves, such as changes in tastes, income, prices of related goods, technology, and government policies. The document also discusses market equilibrium and how shifts in supply and demand curves impact equilibrium price and quantity. Specifically, it explains how a rightward shift in demand or supply results in a higher equilibrium price, while a leftward shift decreases the equilibrium price.
