Summary
61
The law of demand states there is an inverse relationship between the price and the quantity demanded, ceteris paribus. A market demand curve is the horizontal summation of individual demand curves.

A change in quantity demanded is a movement along a stationary demand curve caused by a change in price. When any of the nonprice determinants of demand changes, the demand curve responds by shifting. An increase in demand (rightward shift) or a decrease in demand (leftward shift) is caused by a change in one of the nonprice determinants.

Nonprice determinants of demand are

b. tastes and preferences.
c. income (normal and inferior).
d. expectations of future p;rice and income changes, and
e. prices of related goods (substitutes and complements).
66
The law of supply states there is a direst relationship between the price and the quantity supplied, ceteris paribus. The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of individual supply curves.
67
A change in quantity supplied is a movement along a stationary supply curve caused by a change in price. When any of the nonprice determinants of supply changes, the supply curve responds by shifting. An increase in supply (rightward shift) or a decrease in supply (leftward shift) is caused by a change in one of the nonprice determinants.

71
A surplus or shortage exists at any price where the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied are not equal. When the price of a good is greater than the equilibrium price, there is an excess quantity supplied called a surplus. When the price is less than the equilibrium price, there is an excess quantity demanded called a shortage.
72
Equilibrium is the unique price and quantity established at the intersection of the supply and the demand curves. Only at equilibrium does quantity demanded equal quantity supplied.

1. If the demand curve for good X is downward-sloping, this means that an increase in the price will result ina. an increase in the demand for good X.b. a decrease in the demand for good X.c. no change in the quantity demanded for
good X.d. a larger quantity demanded for good X.e. a smaller quantity demanded for good X.
E. When price changes there is a opposite change in the quantity demanded as measured on the horizontal axis.
77
2. The law of demand states that the quantity demanded of a good changes, other things being equal, whena. the price of the good changes.b. consumer income changes.c. the prices of other goods change.d. a change occurs in the quantities of other
goods purchased.
A. A “change in demand” means that the whole curve shifts, but a “change in the quantity demanded” means that there is movement along a stationary curve.
78
3. Which of the following is the result of a decrease in the price tea, other things being equal?a. A leftward shift in the demand curve
for tea.b. A downward movement along the
demand curve for tea.c. A rightward shift in the demand curve
for tea.d. An upward movement along the
demand curve for tea.B. Because demand curves have a negative
slope, as the price declines, the quantity demanded will increase.
79
4. Which of the following will cause a movement along the demand curve for X?a. A change in the price of a close
substitute.b. A change in the price of good X.c. A change in consumer tastes and
preferences for good X.d. A change in consumer income.
B. Movement along a given demand curve always occurs when the price changes, if anything other than price changes, then the whole curve will shift.
80
5. Assuming that beef and pork are substitutes, a decrease in the price of pork will cause the demand curve for beef toa. shift to the left as consumers switch
from beef to pork.b. shift to the right as consumers switch
from beef to pork.c. remain unchanged, since beef and pork
are sold in separate markets.d. none of the above.
A. With a decrease in the price of pork people will want to buy more pork; because beef and pork are substitutes, they will buy less at possible prices for beef.
81
6. Assuming that coffee and tea are substitutes, a decrease in the price of coffee, other things being equal, results in a (an)a. downward movement along the demand
curve for tea.b. leftward shift in the demand curve for tea.c. upward movement along the demand curve
for tea.d. rightward shift in the demand curve for
tea.B. With a decrease in the price of coffee
people will want to buy more coffee; because coffee and tea are substitutes, they will buy less at possible prices for tea.
82
7. Assuming steak and potatoes are complements, a decrease in the price of steak willa. decrease the demand for steak.b. increase the demand for steak.c. increase the demand for potatoes.d. decrease the demand for potatoes.
C. With a decrease in the price of steak people will want to buy more steak; because steak and potatoes are complements, they will buy more potatoes as well.
83
8. Assuming that steak is a normal good, a decrease in consumer income, other things being equal, willa. cause a downward movement along
the demand curve for steak.b. shift the demand curve for steak to
the left.c. cause an upward movement along
the demand curve for steak.d. shift the demand curve for steak to
the right.B. Normal goods are goods that people will
buy more of as their incomes increase and less of as their income decreases.
84
9. An increase in consumer income, other things being equal, willa. shift the supply curve for a normal good
to the right.b. cause an upward movement along the
demand curve for an inferior good.c. shift the demand curve for an inferior
good to the left.d. cause a downward movement along the
supply curve for a normal good.
C. Inferior goods are goods that people will buy less of at possible prices as their income increases.
85
B. A shift to the right of a supply curve along a stationary demand curve will result in a lower price as illustrated on the next page.
10. Yesterday, seller A supplied 400 units of a good X at $10 per unit. Today, seller A supplies the same quantity of units at $5 per unit. Based on this evidence, seller A has experienced a (an)a. decrease in supply.b. increase in supply.c. increase in the quantity supplied.d. decrease in the quantity supplied.e. increase in demand.

11. An improvement technology causes a (an)a. leftward shift of the supply curve.b. upward movement along the supply
curve.c. firm to supply a larger quantity at any
given price.d. downward movement along the supply
curve.C. When price changes, the supply curve itself does not change, but when other things change, the whole curve will shift. A change in technology is an example of what can cause the supply curve to shift.
88
12. Suppose auto workers receive a substantial wage increase. Other things being equal, the price of autos will rise because of a (an)a. increase in the demand for autos.b. rightward shift of the supply curve for
autos.c. leftward shift of the supply curve for
autos.d. reduction in the demand for autos.C. A change in costs for a business is a factor that will shift the supply curve. If costs go up, as in the case of having to pay higher wages, the supplier has less of an ability to supply cars.
89
13. Assuming that soybeans and tobacco can both be grown on the same land, an increase in the price of tobacco, other things being equal, causes a (an)a. upward movement along the supply curve
for soybeans.b. downward movement along the supply
curve for soybeans.c. rightward shift in the supply for soybeans.d. leftward shift in the supply for soybeans.
D. With an increase in the price of tobacco farmers will want to grow more tobacco to take advantage of the higher price. Farmers will therefore plant soybeans on land they used to use for tobacco.

14. If Qd = quantity demanded and Qs = quantity supplied at a given price, a shortage in the market results when
a. Qs is greater than Qd.
b. Qs equals Qd.
c. Qs is less than or equal to Qd.
d. Qs is greater than or equal to Qd. D. When there are more units of
something being demanded than being supplied, a shortage will result.
91
15. Assume that the equilibrium price for a good is $10. If the market price is $5, a a. shortage will cause the price to remain at $5.b. surplus will cause the price to remain at $5.c. shortage will cause the price to rise toward
$10.d. surplus will cause the price to rise toward
$10.
C. When the price of a good is below the market price, there are more units being supplied than being demanded. The result is a shortage and consumers will bid the price up toward the equilibrium price.

D. At a price of $2.00 the quantity demanded is 100 and the quantity supplied is 300; 300 units minus 100 equals 200 units.
