3. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS CHAPTER
What a competitive market is and how it is
described by the supply and demand model
What the demand curve and supply curve are
movements along a curve and shifts of a curve
How the supply and demand curves determine a
market’s equilibrium price and equilibrium
quantity
4. Supply and Demand
A competitive market:
Many buyers and sellers
Same good or service
The supply and demand model is a model of how
a competitive market works.
Five key elements:
Demand curve
Supply curve
Demand and supply curve shifts
Market equilibrium
Changes in the market equilibrium
5. Demand Schedule
A demand schedule shows how much of a good or
service consumers will want to buy at different
prices.
6. Why does the Demand Curve Slope Downward?
Law of Demand
Inverse relationship between price and quantity.
Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility.
Utility is the extra satisfaction that one receives from
consuming a product.
Marginal means extra.
Diminishing means decreasing.
7. Demand Curve
A demand curve is the
graphical representation
of the demand schedule;
it shows how much of a
good or service
consumers want to buy at
any given price.

9. An Increase in Demand
A shift of the demand curve is a change in the quantity demanded at any
given price, represented by the change of the original demand curve to a new
position, denoted by a new demand curve.

A movement along the demand
curve is a change in the
quantity demanded of a good
that is the result of a change in
that good’s price.
15. What Causes a Demand Curve to Shift?
Changes in the Prices of Related Goods
Substitutes: Two goods are substitutes if a fall in the
price of one of the goods makes consumers less willing
to buy the other good.
Complements: Two goods are complements if a fall in
the price of one good makes people more willing to buy
the other good.
16. What Causes a Demand Curve to Shift?
Changes in Income
Normal Goods: When a rise in income increases the
demand for a good - the normal case - we say that the
good is a normal good.
Inferior Goods: When a rise in income decreases the
demand for a good, it is an inferior good.
Changes in Tastes
Changes in Expectations
17. Individual Demand Curve and the Market Demand Curve
The market demand curve is the horizontal sum of the
individual demand curves of all consumers in that market.

46. DEMAND ANALYSIS
- Demand (Permintaan) adalah kuantitas barang atau jasa yg. rela atau mampu dibeli
oleh konsumen selama periode waktu tertentu berdasarkan kondisi-kondisi tertentu.
- Model matematis konsep permintaan barang atau jasa :
QDX = F (PX, I, PR, PE, IE, PAE, T, N, A, F, O)
Dimana :
QDX = kuantitas permintaan barang atau jasa
F = fungsi, berarti fungsi dari atau tergantung pada
PX = harga dari barang atau jasa X
I = pendapatan konsumen
PR = harga dari barang lain yang bersangkutan
PE = ekspektasi konsumen terhadap harga dari barang/jasa X di masa mendatang
IE = ekspektasi konsumen terhadap tingkat pendapatan di masa mendatang
PAE = ekspektasi konsumen thdp. ketersediaan barang / jasa X di masa mendatang
T = selera konsumen
N = banyaknya konsumen potensial
A = pengeluaran iklan
F = features atau atribut dari barang / jasa tersebut
O = faktor-faktor spesifik lain dari permintaan barang / jasa tersebut
47. CONTOH SOAL DEMAND ANALYSIS
Permintaan TV berwarna (20 inchi) ditemukan fungsi permintaan secara umum
sebagai berikut : QDX = -1,4 – 15 PX + 7,5 PR + 2,6 I + 2,5 A
QDX = kuantitas permintaan TV berwarna (ribuan unit)
PX = harga dari TV berwarna (ratusan ribu rupiah)
PR = harga TV dari merk lain (ratusan ribu rupiah)
I = pendapatan konsumen (jutaan rupiah per tahun)
A = pengeluaran iklan produk TV tersebut (ratusan juta rupiah per tahun)
Contoh :
Tahun 2013, harga rata-rata TV berwarna 20 inchi Samsung di DKI Rp.
1,1 juta; harga TV berwarna merk lain Rp. 0,9 juta; rata-rata pendapatan
konsumen Rp. 10 juta per tahun dan total pengeluaran iklan untuk TV
berwarna Samsung 20 inchi Rp. 5 milyar.
- Tentukan fungsi permintaan TV berwarna Samsung 20 inchi !
- Hitunglah besar kuantitas permintaan TV berwarna Samsung 20 inchi !
- Gambarkan fungsi Demand tersebut !
48. SUPPLY ANALYSIS
- Supply (penawaran) adalah kuantitas produk yang ditawarkan atau dijual di
pasar yang secara umum sangat tergantung pada sejumlah variabel.
- Model matematis konsep penawaran produk :
QSX = F (PX, PI, PR, T, PE, NF, O)
Dimana :
QSX = kuantitas penawaran produk X
F = fungsi, berarti fungsi dari atau tergantung pada
PX = harga dari produk X
PI = harga input yang digunakan untuk memproduksi produk X
PR = harga dari produk lain (pengganti)
T = tingkat teknologi yang tersedia
PE = ekspektasi produsen terhadap harga produk X di masa mendatang
NF = banyaknya perusahaan yang memproduksi produk yang sama
O = faktor-faktor spesifik lain dari penawaran produk tersebut
53. CONTOH SOAL SUPPLY ANALYSIS
Fungsi penawaran ruang pusat perbelanjaan (mall) di Surabaya tahun 1996
adalah sebagai berikut : QSX = 325 + 7 PX – 0,25 PI – 8 PR + 5 NF
QSX = kuantitas penawaran sewa ruang mall (000 m²)
PX = harga sewa mall (US $ / m² / bln.)
PI = harga input pembangunan mall (US $ / m²)
PR = harga sewa ruang perkantoran (US $ / m²)
NF = banyaknya pengembang yang menawarkan sewa ruang mall
(unit perusahaan)
Contoh :
Apabila rata-rata harga sewa mall US $ 75 / m² / bln. Dan rata-rata biaya
pembangunan (harga input) ruangan mall US $ 500 / m², rata-rata harga
sewa ruang perkantoran US $ 25 / m² / bln., jumlah pengembang yang
menawarkan sewa ruang mall 20 perusahaan.
- Tentukan fungsi penawaran !
- Hitunglah besar kuantitas penawaran sewa ruang mall (000 m²) !
- Gambarkan fungsi Supply tersebut !

57. A recent drought in Australia reduced the amount of grass
on which Australian dairy cows could feed, thus limiting the
amount of milk these cows produced for export.
At the same time, a new tax levied by the government of
Argentina raised the price of the milk the country exported,
thereby decreasing Argentine milk sales worldwide.
These two developments produced a supply shortage in the
world market, which dairy farmers in Europe couldn’t fill
because of strict production quotas set by the European
Union.
Demand and Supply Shifts at Work in the Global
Economy
58. In China, meanwhile, demand for milk and milk
products increased, as rising income levels drove
higher per-capita consumption.
All these occurrences resulted in a strong upward
pressure on the price of milk everywhere in 2007.
Demand and Supply Shifts at Work in the Global
Economy
59. SUMMARY
1. The supply and demand model illustrates how a
competitive market works.
2. The demand schedule shows the quantity demanded at
each price and is represented graphically by a demand
curve. The law of demand says that demand curves slope
downward.
3. A movement along the demand curve occurs when a
price change leads to a change in the quantity demanded.
When economists talk of increasing or decreasing demand,
they mean shifts of the demand curve—a change in the
quantity demanded at any given price.
60. SUMMARY
4. There are five main factors that shift the demand curve:
• A change in the prices of related goods or services
• A change in income
• A change in tastes
• A change in expectations
• A change in the number of consumers
4. The market demand curve for a good or service is the
horizontal sum of the individual demand curves of all
consumers in the market.
5. The supply schedule shows the quantity supplied at
each price and is represented graphically by a supply
curve. Supply curves usually slope upward.
61. SUMMARY
7. A movement along the supply curve occurs when a price
change leads to a change in the quantity supplied. When
economists talk of increasing or decreasing supply, they
mean shifts of the supply curve—a change in the
quantity supplied at any given price.
8. There are five main factors that shift the supply curve:
• A change in input prices
• A change in the prices of related goods and services
• A change in technology
• A change in expectations
• A change in the number of producers
9. The market supply curve for a good or service is the
horizontal sum of the individual supply curves of all
producers in the market.
62. SUMMARY
10. The supply and demand model is based on the principle
that the price in a market moves to its equilibrium price,
or market-clearing price, the price at which the quantity
demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. This quantity
is the equilibrium quantity. When the price is above its
market-clearing level, there is a surplus that pushes the
price down. When the price is below its market-clearing
level, there is a shortage that pushes the price up.
11. An increase in demand increases both the equilibrium
price and the equilibrium quantity; a decrease in demand
has the opposite effect. An increase in supply reduces the
equilibrium price and increases the equilibrium quantity; a
decrease in supply has the opposite effect.
12. Shifts of the demand curve and the supply curve can
happen simultaneously.
63. SUMMARY Supply Schedule
• A supply schedule
shows how much of a
good or service
would be supplied at
different prices.

Figure 3-1: The Demand Schedule and the Demand Curve
The demand schedule for coffee beans yields the corresponding demand curve, which shows how much of a good or service consumers want to buy at any given price. The demand curve and the demand schedule reflect the law of demand: As price rises, the quantity demanded falls. Similarly, a decrease in price raises the quantity demanded. As a result, the demand curve is downward sloping.

Figure 3-2: An increase in demand
An increase in the population and other factors generate an increase in demand—a rise in the quantity demanded at any given price. This is represented by the two demand schedules—one showing demand in 2002, before the rise in population, the other showing demand in 2006, after the rise in population—and their corresponding demand curves. The increase in demand shifts the demand curve to the right.

Figure 3-3: Movement Along the Demand Curve Versus Shift of the Demand Curve
The rise in quantity demanded when going from point A to point B reflects a movement along the demand curve: it is the result of a
fall in the price of the good. The rise in quantity demanded when going from point A to point C reflects a shift of the demand curve: it is the result of a rise in the quantity demanded at any given price.

Figure 3-5: Individual Demand Curves and the Market Demand Curve
Darla and Dino are the only two consumers of coffee beans in the market. Panel (a) shows Darla’s individual demand curve: the number of pounds of coffee beans she will buy per year at any given price. Panel (b) shows Dino’s individual demand curve. Given that Darla and Dino are the only two consumers, the market demand curve, which shows the quantity of coffee demanded by all consumers at any given price, is shown in panel (c). The market demand curve is the horizontal sum of the individual demand curves of all consumers. In this case, at any given price, the quantity demanded by the market is the sum of the quantities demanded by Darla and Dino.
Figure Caption:
Figure 3-16 (a) There is a simultaneous rightward shift of the demand curve and leftward shift of the supply curve. Here the increase in demand is relatively larger than the decrease in supply, so the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity both rise.
Figure Caption:
Figure 3-16 (b) There is also a simultaneous rightward shift of the demand curve and leftward shift of the supply curve. Here the decrease in supply is relatively larger than the increase in demand, so the equilibrium price rises and the equilibrium quantity falls.

Figure 3-6: The Supply Schedule and the Supply Curve
The supply schedule for coffee beans is plotted to yield the corresponding supply curve, which shows how much of a good producers are willing to sell at any given price. Just as the quantity of coffee beans that consumers want to buy depends on the price they have to pay, the quantity that producers are willing to produce and sell—the quantity supplied—depends on the price they are offered.
Figure Caption:
Figure 3-6: The Supply Schedule and the Supply Curve
The supply curve and the supply schedule reflect the fact that supply curves are usually upward sloping: the quantity supplied rises when the price rises.

Figure 3-7: An increase in supply
The entry of Vietnam into the coffee bean business generated an increase in supply—a rise in the quantity supplied at any given price. This event is represented by the two supply schedules—one showing supply before Vietnam’s entry, the other showing supply after Vietnam came in—and their corresponding supply curves. The increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right.

Figure 3-9: Shifts of the Supply Curve
Any event that increases supply shifts the supply curve to the right, reflecting a rise in the quantity supplied at any given price. Any event that decreases supply shifts the supply curve to the left, reflecting a fall in the quantity supplied at any given price.

Figure 3-10: Individual Supply Curves and the Market Supply Curve
Panel (a) shows the individual supply curve for Mr. Figueroa, SFigueroa, the quantity of coffee beans he will sell at any given price. Panel (b) shows the individual supply curve for Mr. Bien Pho, SBien Pho. The market supply curve, which shows the quantity of coffee beans supplied by all producers at any given price, is shown in panel (c). The market supply curve is the horizontal sum of the individual supply curves of all producers.

Figure 3-11: Market Equilibrium
Market equilibrium occurs at point E, where the supply curve and the demand curve intersect. In equilibrium, the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. In this market, the equilibrium price is $1 per pound and the equilibrium quantity is 10 billion pounds per year.
Figure Caption:
Figure 3-12: Price Above Its Equilibrium Level Creates a Surplus
The market price of $1.50 is above the equilibrium price of $1. This creates a surplus: at a price of $1.50, producers would like to sell 11.2 billion pounds but consumers want to buy only 8.1 billion pounds, so there is a surplus of 3.1 billion pounds. This surplus will push the price down until it reaches the equilibrium price of $1.
Figure Caption:
Figure 3-13: Price Below Its Equilibrium Level Creates a Shortage
The market price of $0.75 is below the equilibrium price of $1. This creates a shortage: consumers want to buy 11.5 billion pounds, but only 9.1 billion pounds are for sale, so there is a shortage of 2.4 billion pounds. This shortage will push the price up until it reaches the equilibrium price of $1.
Figure Caption:
Figure 3-14: Equilibrium and Shifts of the Demand Curve
The original equilibrium in the market for coffee is at E1, at the intersection of the supply curve and the original demand curve, D1. A rise in the price of tea, a substitute, shifts the demand curve rightward to D2. A shortage exists at the original price, P1, causing both the price and quantity supplied to rise, a movement along the supply curve. A new equilibrium is reached at E2, with a higher equilibrium price, P2, and a higher equilibrium quantity, Q2. When demand for a good or service increases, the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity of the good or service both rise.
Figure Caption:
Figure 3-15: Equilibrium and Shifts of the Demand Curve
The original equilibrium in the market for coffee beans is at E1. A drought causes a fall in the supply of coffee beans and shifts the supply curve leftward from S1 to S2. A new equilibrium is established at E2, with a higher equilibrium price, P2, and a lower equilibrium quantity, Q2.
