Trade or exchange
may take place at a
physical or virtuallocation.

Demand - A Definition
The willingness and ability of buyers to purchase different quantities of a good at different prices during a specific time period.
![Page 4: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Law of Demand As the price of a good rises, thequantity demanded of the good falls,and as the price of a good falls, thequantity demanded of the good
rises,ceteris paribus.
Price
Quantity

Ceteris Paribus
A Latin term meaning “all other thingsconstant” or “nothing else changes.”
Ceteris paribus is an assumption used toexamine the effect of one influence on an
outcome while holding all other influences constant.

Prices Absolute (Money) Price - The price of a
good in money terms. Relative Price (opportunity cost) - The
price of a good in terms of another good.

Supply The willingness and ability of sellers to
produce and offer to sell different quantities of a good at different prices during a specific time period.
![Page 8: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Law of Supply As the price of a good rises, the quantity
supplied of the good rises, and as the price of a good falls, the quantity supplied of the good falls, ceteris paribus.
Price
Quantity

Market Equilibrium
![Page 11: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Surplus and Shortage
Surplus (Excess Supply) - A condition in which quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded.
Surpluses occur only at prices above equilibrium price.
Shortage (Excess Demand) - A condition in which quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied.
Shortages occur only at prices below equilibrium price.

Consumer and Producer Surplus
![Page 13: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Consumer Surplus
CS = Maximum buying price - Price paid
CS = the difference between the maximum price a buyer is willing and able to pay for a good or service and the price actually paid.
![Page 14: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Producer Surplus
PS = Price received - Minimum Selling Price
PS = The difference between the price sellers receive for a good and the minimum or lowest price for which they would have sold the good.
![Page 15: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Total Surplus (TS)
TS = CS + PS Total Surplus (TS) is the sum of
consumers’ surplus and producers’ surplus.

Market Effects of Simultaneous Changes in Supply and Demand
Both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity will increase.
The equilibrium price will decrease and the equilibrium quantity will increase.
![Page 21: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Using the Model to PredictChanges in Price and Quantity
An increase in university enrollment will increase the demand for apartments, shifting the demand curve to the right. Both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity will increase.
A report of pesticide residue on apples decreases the demand for apples, shifting the demand curve to the left. Both the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity will decrease.
![Page 22: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Predicting the effects of changes in Supply
Technological innovation decreases production costs, shifting the supply curve to the right. The equilibrium price decreases, and the equilibrium quantity increases.
Bad weather decreases the supply of coffee beans, shifting the supply curve to the left. The equilibrium price increases, and the equilibrium quantity decreases.
![Page 23: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Explaining Changes in Price or Quantity
At the same time the quantity increased, the price decreased. Therefore, the increase in consumption resulted from an increase in supply, not an increase in demand.
At the same time the price decreased, the quantity decreased. Therefore, the decrease in price was caused by a decrease in demand, not an increase in supply.
![Page 24: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Price Ceilings & Floors A price ceiling is a legal maximum price
that can be charged for a good. Results in a shortage of a product (to control
inflation) Common examples include apartment rentals
and credit cards interest rates. Example: World war II butter price control
A price floor is a legal minimum price that can be charged for a good. Results in a surplus of a product Common examples include soybeans, milk,
minimum wage, support for agricultural prices.

Price Ceiling
A price ceiling is set at $2 resulting in a shortage of 20 units.
![Page 26: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Price Floor
A price floor is set at $4 resulting in a surplus of 20 units.

Increases in Demand and Supply
Higher demand leads to higher equilibrium price and higher equilibrium quantity.
Higher supply leads to lower equilibrium price and higher equilibrium quantity.
![Page 40: Market Equilibrium Micro Economics ECO101](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062412/589c9f271a28abf4148b57d3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Decreases in Demand and Supply
Lower demand leads to lower price and lower quantity exchanged.
Lower supply leads to higher price and lower quantity exchanged.

Relative Magnitudes of Change
• The relative magnitudes of change in supply and demand determine the outcome of market equilibrium.

Relative Magnitudes of Change
• When supply and demand both increase, quantity will increase, but price may go up or down.
