DEMAND DEFINEDWhat is Demand?
Demand is the different quantities of goods that consumers are willing and able to buy at different prices.(Ex: You are able to purchase diapers, but if you
aren’t willing to buy then there is NO demand)
What is the Law of Demand? There is an INVERSE relationship between
price and quantity demanded

Example of DemandI am willing to sell several A’s in AP Economics. How much will you pay?

Why does the Law of Demand occur?
The law of demand is the result of three separate behavior patterns that overlap:
1.The Substitution effect 2.The Income effect3.The Law of Diminishing Marginal
Utility We will define and explain each…
5Copyright ACDC Leadership 2015
• If the price goes up for a product, consumer buy less of that product and more of another substitute product (and vice versa)
1. The Substitution Effect
• If the price goes down for a product, the purchasing power increases for consumers -allowing them to purchase more.
2. The Income Effect
Why does the Law of Demand occur?

• Utility = Satisfaction• We buy goods because we get utility from them• The law of diminishing marginal utility states
that as you consume anything, the additional satisfaction that you will receive will eventually start to decrease
• In other words, the more you buy of ANY GOOD the less satisfaction you get from each new unit consumed.
Discussion Questions:1. What does this have to do with the Law of Demand?2. How does this effect the pricing of businesses?
3. Law of Diminishing Marginal UtilityWhy does the Law of Demand occur?

Graphing Demand
10Copyright ACDC Leadership 2015
The Demand Curve• A demand curve is a graphical representation
of a demand schedule.• The demand curve is downward sloping
showing the inverse relationship between price (on the y-axis) and quantity demanded (on the x-axis)
• When reading a demand curve, assume all outside factors, such as income, are held constant. (This is called ceteris paribus)
Let’s draw a new demand curve for milk…

Demand Review1. What are the two key aspects of the definition of
demand?2. What is the Law of Demand?3. Give an example of the substitution effect4. Give an example of the income effect5. Give an example of the law of diminishing marginal
utility6. Explain how the law of diminishing marginal utility
causes the law of demand7. How do you determine the MARKET demand for a
particular good? (from reading)8. Name 10 fast food places

Shifts in Demand• Ceteris paribus-“all other things held constant.”• When the ceteris paribus assumption is
dropped, movement no longer occurs along the demand curve. Rather, the entire demand curve shifts.
• A shift means that at the same prices, more people are willing and able to purchase that good.
This is a change in demand, not a change in quantity demanded

There are two ways to increase quantity from 10 to 20

1. A to B is a change in quantity demand (due to a change in price)

What Causes a Shift in Demand?
5 Shifters (Determinates) of Demand:
1.Number of Buyers2.Income and Wealth3.Tastes and Preferences4.Future Expectations5.Price of Related Goods
Changes in PRICE don’t shift the curve. It only causes movement along the curve.
26Copyright ACDC Leadership 2015
Number of buyers in the market
• When a population increases or decreases demand curves will shift accordingly
Income and Wealth
• Income is the amount of money received each year from working, interest on savings, and other sources such as gifts.•A normal good is a good whose demand increases if income rises.•An inferior good is a good whose demand decreases if income rises.

Income and Wealth
• Wealth is the value of accumulated past savings, including human wealth.
Tastes• Tastes (or
preferences) are people’s underlying likes and dislikes.
Usefulness
• A good’s usefulness is its benefit in creating the products people ultimately want.
Expectations of Buyers
• When buyers sense prices will rise or fall quickly they will choose to act or not act
Prices of Related Goods
2. Complements are two goods that are bought and used together. – Ex: If price of hot dogs falls, demand for hot dog
buns will...– If the price of one increase, the demand for the
other will fall. (or vice versa)
1. Substitutes are goods used in place of one another. – Ex: If price of Pepsi falls, demand for coke will…– If the price of one increases, the demand for the
other will increase (or vice versa)
The demand curve for one good can be affected by a change in the price of ANOTHER related good.

Hamburgers (a normal good)1. Population boom 2. Incomes fall due to recession3. Price of tacos, a substitute, decreases4. Price increases to $5 for hamburgers5. New health craze- “No ground beef”6. Hamburger restaurants announce that they
will significantly increase prices NEXT month 7. Price of fries, a complement, increases8. Restaurants lower price of burgers to $.50
