Concept of DemandConcept of Demand Demand means effective desireDemand means effective desire
Effective desire = desire + willingness toEffective desire = desire + willingness topay + ability to paypay + ability to pay

Significance of DemandSignificance of Demand Crucial requirements for the functioning of any
business enterprise, its survival and growth. Information on the size and type of demand
helps management in planning its requirementsof men, materials, machines, and money.
Demand analysis seeks to identify and measurethe forces that determine sales; it reflects themarket conditions for the firms product.
Once the demand analysis is done, the
alternative ways of creating, controlling ormanaging demand can be inferred.

Demand FunctionDemand Function
Demand function is a comprehensiveformulation which specifies the factorsthat influence the demand for theproduct. What can be those factors
which affect the demand? Dx = D (PX, PR, Y, W, A, E, T, M) In other words, a generalized demand
function is a multivariate function
whereas the demand curve is a singlevariable demand function.

Law of DemandLaw of Demand The law of demand states that Ceteris
paribus (other things remaining the same),higher the price, lower the demand and viceversa. The law is stated primarily in termsof the price and quantity relationship. The
quantity demanded is inversely related toits price. Here we consider only two factors i.e. price
and quantity demanded.
All the other factors are assumed to beconstant.

Assumptions of Law of DemandAssumptions of Law of Demand
Income of the consumer is constant. There is no change in the availability and the
price of the related commodities (i.e.complimentary and substitutes)
There are no expectations of the consumersabout changes in the future price andincome.
Consumers taste and preferences remain the
same. There is no change in the population and its
structure.
