Then this desire will remain just a wishful thinking, it will not be called demand. • If inspire of having money, you do not want to spend it on Car, demand does not emerge • The desire become demand only when you are ready to spend money to buy car LAW OF DEMAND… There is inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded when rest of the things are constant. Determinants of demand… INCOME OF THE CONSUMER INCOME OF THE CONSUMER NORMAL GOODS INFERIOR GOODS NORMAL GOODS: Normal goods are those goods where income effect is positive. It means if income of the consumer are increases as a result their demand is also increases and vice versa INFERIOR GOODS: Inferior goods are those goods where income effect is negative it means if income of the consumer is increases as a result their demand are decreases and vice versa they have inverse relationship between income and demand CHANGE IN PRICE OF RELATED GOODS SUBTITUTION GOODS COMPLEMENTERY GOODS
