LAW OF SUPPLY AND
DEMAND

is the theory that prices are determined by

the relationship between supply and demand.
If the supply of a good or service outstrips the
demand for it, prices will fall. If the demand
exceeds the supply, prices will rise.
 INVERSE
VARIATION Exercise 1
The Philippine Statistics Authority reported that our
country’s rice supply is 20 million metric tons last year
and the average price is about ₱45.00 per kg. If next
year, the Philippines suffered a rice shortage due to an
unforeseen circumstance, having only 15 million metric
tons of rice. (a) What would be the expected price of rice
per kg? (b) If the target price is ₱50.00, how many
million metric tons of rice is needed?
