service
Do You Demand These?

Non-Price Determinants of
Demand
1) Buyer’s Income
2) Price of Substitutes
3) Market Size
4) Consumer Tastes
5) Consumer Expectations
6) Complement Goods
1) Buyer’s Income
Income  Demand
Income  Demand
Examples:
- Minimum wage increases
- Economic Recession
- The Great Depression
2) Price of Substitute Goods
Goods or services that can be used
instead of other goods or services,
causing a change in demand.
3) Market Size
Market Size  Demand 
Market Size  Demand 
Examples:
 Immigration
 Detroit after collapse of auto industry
4) Consumer Tastes
The popularity of a good or service has a strong
effect on the demand for it, and in the
marketplace, popularity can change quickly.
5) Consumer Expectations
What you expect prices to do in the
future
can influence your buying habits today.
Examples:
 HD TV’s
 PS3
 Gasoline
 Homes
 Automobiles
6) Complement Goods
When the use of one product increases
the use of another product.
Supply
The desire, ability, and willingness
to offer products for sale
*Anyone who offers an economic product
for sale is a supplier
*When you work at your job, you are
offering your services for sale. Your
economic product is labor. You would
probably supply more for a higher wage.

Non-Price Determinants of
Supply
1) Number of Products
2) Input Costs
3) Labor Productivity
4) Technology
5) Government Action
6) # of sellers
7) Producer Expectations
1) Number of Products
A successful new product or service always brings out
competitors who initially raise overall supply.
2) Input Costs
 Input costs, the collective price of resources that
go into producing a good or service, affect
supply directly
 Examples
 Minimum Wage increases
 Cost of cotton increases, supply of t-shirts decreases
3) Labor Productivity
Better trained or more-skilled workers are usually more
productive. Increased productivity decreases costs
and increases supply.
4) Technology
By applying scientific advances to the production
process, producers have learned to generate their
goods or services more efficiently.
5) Government Action
Government actions, such as taxes or subsidies,
can
have a positive or negative effect on production
costs.
6) # of Sellers
# of sellers increases, supply increases
# of sellers decreases, supply decreases
Examples:
 McDonald’s Plans to Open 1,000 new stores in
2010
 All Circuit City stores in America went out of
business
7) Producer Expectations
The amount of a product that producers are willing
and able to supply may be influenced by
whether they believe prices will go up or down.

Shift in the Supply Curve
For an given rental price, quantity supplied is now

Market Equilibrium
Situation in which prices are relatively stable and
the quantity of goods or services supplied is
equal to the quantity demanded.
QS = QD
Equilibrium Price – the price that “clears the
market.” No Shortage or Surplus.

Equilibrium After a Demand Shift
The shift in the demand curve moves the market
equilibrium from point A to point B, resulting in a
higher price and higher quantity.
Equilibrium After a Supply Shift
The shift in the supply curve moves the market equilibrium
from point A to point B, resulting in a higher price and lower
quantity.
Demand Elasticity
A term used to indicate the extent to which
changes in price cause changes in quantity
demanded.
Elastic Demand
Occurs when a relatively small change in price
causes a relatively large change in the
quantity demanded.
Inelastic Demand
Occurs when a change in price causes a
relatively smaller change in the quantity
demanded.
Estimating Elasticity of Demand
Yes = Elastic No = Inelastic
Can purchase be delayed?
Are there adequate substitutes?
Does purchase use a large portion of income?
2 or more yes’s = elastic
2 or more no’s = inelastic
Elastic or Inelastic?
Necessity
The more necessary a good is, the lower the
elasticity, as people will attempt to buy it no
matter the price, such as the case of insulin for
those that need it.
