Questão | Responda |
Demand | The quantity of a product that consumers are willing to buy at certain price in a given time period |
The law of Demand | Negative/ Inverse relationship |
Non-price Determinants of Demand | Consumer income, Prices of related goods, income distribution, government policies, Taste/ Preference, Seasonal change, Population strucutre |
Supply | The quantity of a good that sellers are willing and able to supply at a given price in a given time period |
The law of supply | Positive/ Direct relationship |
The non-price determinants of Supply | Cost of factors of production, other products producers can make, state of technology, future expectation, government intervention, seasonal changes |
Linear demand function | Qd= a-bP |
Linear Supply function | Qs= c + dP |
Equilibrium price | The price that balances supply and demand |
Equilibrium quantity | The quantity that balances supply and demand |
Shortage | When the price is below the Equilibrium price, the Quantity demanded exceeds the Quantity supplied |
Surplus | When the price is above the equilibrium price, the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded |
Elasticity | Elasticity is a measure of how much buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions |
PED | Its is a measure of how the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good |
Determinants of PED | Necessity vs. Luxury, the number of close substitutes, the time horizon and definition of the market |
Formula PED | %change Od/%change of P |
Range of PED | more than one elastic less than one but not 0 inelastic |
Total revenue | amount paid by buyers and received by sellers of a good |
formula Total revenue | Tr= P x Q inelastic demand-> Tr increases elastic demand-> Tr decreases |
XED | Measures how much the Quantity demanded of one good responds to a price change of another good |
Formula of XED | XED= %change Qd of Product X/ %change in Price of Product Y |
Range of XED | greater than 0= substitute relationship Smaller than 0= complementary relationship |
YED | Measures how the quantity of a product responds to a change in consumers income |
Formula YED | YED= %change in Qd/ %change in income |
Range of YED | smaller than 0= inferior good greater than 0= normal good smaller than 1= necessity (inelastic) greater than 1= luxury good (elastic) |
PES | PES measures how the quantity supplied responds to a change in price of that good |
Ranges of elasticity of supply | Perfectly elastic Es= infinity Relatively elastic Es greater than 1 Unit elastic Es=1 Relatively inelastic Es smaller than 1 Perfectly inelastic Es= 0 |
Formula of PES | PES= %change in Qs/ %change in Price |
Determinants of PES | Ability of sellers to change amount of good they produce, Mobility of factors of production, Time period, Ability to store stock |
PES for Commodities | Inelastic supply Manufactured goods more elastic |
