Price Rationing The process by which the
market system allocates goods and services to
consumers when quantity demanded exceeds
quantity supplied.
The lower total supply is rationed to those who
are willing to pay higher for it.
Price Ceiling : Maximum price that seller may
charge for a good

DISCUSSED
The direction in which the quantity demanded
moves, but not the size of the change.
To measure how much demand responds
to changes in its determinants, economists use
the concept of elasticity.

Elasticity a measure of the responsiveness of
quantity demanded or quantity supplied to one of
its determinants
Price elasticity of demand a measure of how
much the quantity demanded of a good responds
to a change in the price of that good, computed as
the percentage change in quantity demanded
divided by the percentage change in price

IF COST OF COFFEE GOES UP CAN THE
SUPPLIERS PASS THE COST TO CONSUMERS?
If coffee is inelastic then – yes
If coffee is elastic the – no
Demand is inelastic then costs incurred can be
charged to consumers.
Demand is elastic then costs incurred cannot be
charged to consumers.

1. market equilibrium price per gardenburger is $12
2. If the price per gardenburger is $14, there is an excess supply
of 150 units in the market.
3. If the price per gardenburger is $6, there is an excess demand
of 450 gardenburgers.
4. In this market there will be an excess demand of 150
gardenburgers at a price of $10
5. In this market there will be an excess supply of 150
gardenburgers at a price of $14.
6. When there is an excess supply of a product in an unregulated
market, the Price tends to fall 37
