Demand Schedule and Demand Curve
• Qd f ( P, M , PR , , Pe , N )
Qd a bP cM dPR e fPe gN
Demand function shows relation between P & Qd when all other variables
are held constant
Qd = f(P)
Qd/P must be negative
Qd = 500 – 5P
Change in demand
Occurs when one of the other variables, or
determinants of demand, changes
Demand curve shifts rightward or leftward

Supply
Supply of a goods refers to the various quantities
of the good which a seller is willing and able to
sell at a different prices in a given market, at a
particular point of time.
Law of Supply
The law of supply states that, other things
equal, the quantity supplied of a good rises
when the price of the good rises.

Supply Function
- Supply function, or supply, shows relation between P & Qs
when all other variables are held constant
Qs = g(P)
Supply Schedule
- The supply schedule is a table that shows the relationship
between the price of the good and the quantity supplied.

Equilibrium
Surplus
When price > equilibrium price, then quantity supplied >
quantity demanded.
• There is excess supply or a surplus.
• Suppliers will lower the price to increase sales, thereby
moving toward equilibrium.
Shortage
When price < equilibrium price, then quantity demanded >
the quantity supplied.
• There is excess demand or a shortage.
• Suppliers will raise the price due to too many buyers
chasing too few goods, thereby moving toward

equilibrium.

Elasticity of Demand
Inelastic Demand
Quantity demanded does not respond strongly to price changes.
Elastic Demand
Quantity demanded responds strongly to changes in price.
Perfectly Inelastic
Quantity demanded does not respond to price changes.
Perfectly Elastic
Quantity demanded changes infinitely with any change in price.
Unit Elastic
Quantity demanded changes by the same percentage as the price.

Using Elasticities in Managerial Decision Making
From this info, the firm can find elasticity of demand for
coffee X with respect to its price, income, price of competitive
coffee Y, price of sugar and advertising
EP= -3(2/2)) = -3
EI= 0.8(2.5/2) = 1
EXY= 2(1.8/2) = 1.8
EXS= -0.6(0.50/2) = -0.15
EA= 1.2(1/2) = 0.6

Using Elasticities in Managerial Decision Making
Using level of sales (QX) for this year of 2 million pounds, the
firm can determine its sales for next year:
Q’X= QX+ QX(ΔPX/PX)EP+ QX(ΔI/I)EI+ QX(ΔPY/PY)EXY+
QX(ΔPS/PS)EXS+ QX(ΔA/A)EA
= 2 + 2(5%)(-3) + 2(4%)(1) + 2(7%)(1.8) + 2(-8%)(-0.15) +
2(12%)(0.6)= 2.2 million pounds.

Government Policies That Alter the Private Market
Outcome
Price controls
Price ceiling: a legal maximum on the price
of a good or service. Example: rent control.
Price floor: a legal minimum on the price of
a good or service. Example: minimum wage.
Taxes
The govt can make buyers or sellers pay a specific
amount on each unit bought/sold.
