Demand Curve
A graphic representation of a demand schedule, showing the relationship between the price of an item and the quantity demanded during a given period, with all other things being equal; Way to show the relationship between the price of a product and the quantity demanded.
Demand Schedule
A table that shows the level of demand for a particular item at various prices; A table showing how much of a good or service consumers will want to buy at different prices.
People will buy more of the lower-priced item
According to the substitution effect, if two items satisfy the same need and the price of one rise:
Consumer Tastes and Preferences (Popularity)
An increase in popularity causes an increase in demand - Example: Bengals = Oct. 7, 2015 - Oct. 15 2015 (major increase)
A
As income rises, demand for goods: A. Decreases B. Increases C. Remain Stable D. Fluctuates
Diminishing Marginal Utility
As more units of a product are consumed, the satisfaction received from each client, the units decline; States that each additional purchase of a product or service by a given consumer will be less satisfying than the previous purchase.
A
Changes in any of the determinants of demand: A. Result in an increase in the amount of goods available in the market B. Raise the rate of unemployment C. Produce an entirely new demand curve for a market D. Decrease the demand for a product
