THE DEFINITION OF A MARKET
A market for a good is
comprised of actual and
potential buyers and sellers of
that good.
Traditional Markets:
Barter refers to the exchange of goods for goods or
services.
Non-monetary exchange
Modern Markets:
In modern markets goods or services are exchanged for
money.

THE DIAGRAM OF A MARKET
There are two main components to a market:
(1) The buyers
(2) The sellers

DETERMINING PRICE

DEFINITION OF DEMAND
Demand
Refers to how much of a product or service is desired by
buyers
Quantity Demanded
This is the amount that a consumer wishes to buy at a
particular price.
Each possible price has a quantity demanded associated with
it.
8
DETERMINANTS OF DEMAND
Factors that determine demand:
S.I.T.E
Substitute and Complements
Income
Expectations
9
DETERMINANT OF QUANTITY
DEMANDED
The ONLY factor that determines Qd:
PRICE

A demand schedule is a
table showing how much

of a given product a
household would be

demand schedules.

Quantity Demanded
DEFINITION OF SUPPLY
Supply
Refers to how much products or services firms are
willing and able to supply
Quantity Supplied
This is the amount that a firm wishes to sell at a
particular price.
Each possible price has a quantity supplied associated with it.

DETERMINANTS OF SUPPLY
Factors that determine supply:
C.T.W.G
2. Weather conditions.

THE DIAGRAM OF A MARKET – THE
SUPPLY CURVE
• What do we mean by an Upward Sloping Supply Curve?
• This means that if the price of the good increases, then the quantity
supplied also increases.
• If the price of the good falls, then the quantity supplied will also
fall.

THE CONCEPT OF EQUILIBRIUM
Price ($)
Only in equilibrium is
quantity supplied equal
to quantity demanded.
S1
$3
In an attempt to get rid of surplus
Surplus stock, producers will accept lower
prices. Lower prices in turn
$2 attract some consumers to buy.

(for a normal good).
A normal good is one whose demand increases when income
increases and vice versa.
An example of a normal good is a car.

IMPACT OF A CHANGE IN DEMAND

increases (curve

In this case, the result
is a higher price and
