DEMAND DEFINEDWhat is Demand?
Demand is the different quantities of goods that consumers are willing and able to buy at different prices.(Ex: vacant golf course lot in Sun Valley)
What is the Law of Demand? There is an INVERSE relationship between
price and quantity demanded
2
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 effect
3.The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility
We will define and explain each…4
• If the price goes up for a product, consumer buy less of that product and more of another substitute product (and vice versa) – Investopedia video clip
1. The Substitution Effect
Why does the Law of Demand occur?
5
• If the price goes down for a product, the purchasing power increases for consumers -allowing them to purchase more.– Investopedia video clip
2. The Income Effect
Why does the Law of Demand occur?
6
• First, let’s define the words:– Diminishing= Decreasing– Marginal=One additional unit– Utility = Satisfaction
• So, 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?

Graphing Demand
11
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? 8. Name 10 fast food places
16
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
PRICE DOESN’T SHIFT THE CURVE

Change in Qd vs. Change in Demand
A C
B
There are two ways to increase quantity from 10 to 20
D2
1. A to B is a change in quantity demand (due to a change in price)
2. A to C is a change in demand (shift in the curve)
What Causes a Shift in Demand?
5 Shifters (Determinates) of Demand:
– Tastes and Preferences– Income– Number of Buyers in the Market– Future Expectations of Price– Price of Related Goods
Changes in PRICE don’t shift the curve. It only causes movement along the curve.
28
1. 1. Tastes or PreferencesTastes or Preferences
2. Income2. Income
2. Inferior Goods – Ex: Top Ramen, used cars, used clothes – As income increases, demand falls– As income falls, demand increases
1. Normal Goods – Ex: Luxury cars, Sea Food, jewelry, homes– As income increases, demand increases– As income falls, demand falls
The incomes of consumer change the demand, but how depends on the type of good.
30
3. 3. Number of Buyers in the MarketNumber of Buyers in the Market
• The demand for a good in a particular market area is related to the number of buyers in the area
Description:– The more buyers, the higher the demand
– The fewer buyers, the lower the demand
4. 4. Expectations of Future PriceExpectations of Future PriceDescription:•Buyers who expect the price of a good to be higher in the future may buy the good NOW, thus increasing the current demand•Buyers who expect the price of a good to be lower in the future may WAIT until the future to buy the good, thus decreasing the current demand for the good
5. Prices of Related Goods5. 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.

Practice
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
Identify the determinant (shifter) then decide if demand will increase or decrease
