"Demand and Supply" slideshow by Spark Edunation shows the interplay between Demand and Supply and how changes in either of them bring about a change in the equilibrium price and quantity
2. DEMAND CURVE
P
Represents all combinations of price of a good and quantity
demanded by the CONSUMER
- Demand Curve is downward sloping
- As Price increases, Demand decreases
- As Price decreases, Demand increases
D - A consumer demands less quantity as
the price of a good rises

3. SUPPLY CURVE
P S Represents all combinations of price of a good
and quantity supplied by a producer
- Supply Curve is upward sloping
- As Price increases, Supply increases
- As Price decreases, Supply decreases
- A producer supplies more quantity as
the price of a good rises
Q

4. S
- The producer wants the maximum price
but consumer is willing to pay the least
price
E - The price that is finally settled upon is
P’ the price at which the demand curve
meets the supply curve i.e. E
- E is the quilibrium point
- P’ is the equilibrium price
- Q’ is the equilibrium quantity
D - At E, quantity demanded equals
quantity supplied

P1 At any price above P’ e.g P1
- Quantity supplied Qs > Quantity demded Qd
- There is excess supply in the Market
P’ - Inventories will increase
- Producers will decrease the price back to P’
equilibrium price

At any price below P’ e.g P2
- Quantity demanded Qd s > Quantity supplied Qs
- There is excess demand in the Market

7. S
E1 - Initial equilibrium at E, with price P’
P1 and quantity Q’
E - Demand increases due to other
P’ factors than price e.g. income
- Demand curve shifts to D1
- New Equilibrium at E1
- Price increases to P1 because supply
D1 curve remains same
D - Also called as Demand-Pull Inflation

8. S1
S
- Initial Equilibrium at E with
P1 equilibrium price P’ and equilibrium
E quantity Q’
P’ - Supply decreases due to other
factors than price e.g. increase in
cost of raw materials
- Supply curve shifts backward to S1
- New equilibrium at E1
D - Equilibrium price increases to P1
- Also called as Cost-push Inflation
