Change ( Shift ) in Demand

A change in the quantity of a good , service , or resource demanded at every price . Graphically , an increase in demand is represented by a rightward shift of the demand curve , while a decrease in demand is represented by a leftward shift of the demand curve . A particularly rainy fall season is likely to cause an increase in demand for umbrellas , as consumers will be more willing to buy them . A rainy fall season is also likely to result in a decrease in demand for shorts and T - shirts because fewer people will be willing to wear them in wet fall weather .

Movement Along the Demand Curve

A change in the quantity of a good , service , or resource demanded due to a change in its price . Graphically , this change is represented as a movement along an existing demand curve .

Change ( Shift ) in Supply

A change in the quantity of a good , service , or resource supplied at every price . Graphically , an increase in supply is represented by a rightward shift of the supply curve , while a decrease in supply is represented by a leftward shift of the supply curve . Consider the market for wheat . All else held constant , the discovery of a new and improved fertilizer will cause an increase in supply because farmland will become more productive and more wheat would thus be supplied . However , a widespread drought would damage the wheat crop and cause a decrease in supply .

Movement along the Supply Curve

A change in the quantity of a good , service , or resource supplied due to a change in its price . Graphically , this change is represented as a movement along an existing supply curve .

What is the effect of a subsidy being placed on the market ?

A decrease in the cost of production

Normal Good

A good for which there is a direct relationship between the demand for the good and income . For normal goods , an increase in income increases demand , and a decrease in income decreases demand ; a good with a positive income elasticity of demand . When Clara was a college student , her financial resources were limited , and she only owned two pairs of shoes . After she graduated and landed a high - paying job , Clara used her income to buy several new pairs of shoes and an entirely new wardrobe . For Clara , we know that clothing items , such as shoes , are normal goods because when her income increased , her demand for clothing increased and she bought more .

Inferior Good

A good for which there is an inverse relationship between the demand for the good and income . For inferior goods , an increase in income decreases demand , and a decrease in income increases demand ; a good with a negative income elasticity of demand . When Clara was a college student , her financial resources were limited , and she had to eat macaroni and cheese almost every night . After she graduated and landed a high - paying job , she stopped eating mac and cheese and , instead , added favorites like lobster bisque to her menu . For Clara , we know that macaroni and cheese must be an inferior good because when her income increased , her demand for mac and cheese decreased .

Which is the broadest definition of a market ?

A group of buyers and sellers who exchange a good , service , or resource , not necessarily at a specific place .

Subsidy

A payment made by the government that does not necessarily require an exchange of economic activity in return . Subsidies most often take the form of payments to businesses . The federal government often provides subsidies to producers of renewable energy in an effort to encourage increased production , with a goal of lowering the price of renewable energy .

Tax

A payment made to government that is the result of economic activity . Taxes are generally collected from both individuals and firms . When you buy gasoline , the price you pay for each gallon includes the cost of producing the gasoline plus a portion of the taxes that are paid by producers at the local , state , and federal levels - all of which increase the overall price of each gallon .

Law of Demand

A principle in economics that states that as the price of a good , service , or resource rises , the quantity demanded will decrease , and vice versa , all else held constant . If you lower the price of a cup of lemonade , the law of demand tells you that people will be more willing and able to buy a cup of lemonade and quantity demanded will increase .

Law of Supply

A principle in economics that states that as the price of a good , service , or resource rises , the quantity supplied will increase , and vice versa , all else held constant . All else held constant , if the price of orange juice rises , the law of supply indicates that producers will be willing and able to increase the quantity of orange juice they supply to the market .

Market

Any place where , or mechanism by which , buyers and sellers interact to trade goods , services , or resources . Whether you buy a laptop from your local electronics store , an online retailer , or someone selling a used laptop through eBay , you and the seller are both participating in the market for laptops . Markets can take almost any form . Formal markets , such as the New York Stock Exchange and your local retail store , are highly structured . Informal markets , like swap meets or garage sales , are less structured , with fewer rules .

If consumer preference for cooking at home increases , how will this impact the market for groceries ?

Demand will increase at each price .

Complements

Goods , services , or resources that are used or consumed with one another Because they are often eaten together , tortilla chips and salsa are complements . If you decide to buy a jar of salsa because it's on sale , you'll likely pick up a bag of tortilla chips too .

Substitutes

Goods , services , or resources that are viewed as replacements for one another . In cooking , margarine is often a substitute for butter . If margarine goes on sale , you're likely to buy less butter and instead buy more margarine .

Which of the following correctly states the three main reasons the demand curve is downward sloping ?

Marginal benefit , purchasing power , and substitutes

Sellers

Market participants who are willing and able to sell goods , services , or resources

Buyers

Market participants who seek to obtain goods , services , and resources .

The price of oranges , a substitute to apples , increases . How will this affect the market for apples ?

The demand for apples will increase at every price .

What happens when the prices of complements or substitutes for a product change ?

The demand for that product will change

Income Effect

The effect that a change in the price of a good , service , or resource has on the purchasing power of income . For example , when prices decrease , the purchasing power of income increases and consumers are able to purchase more goods , services , or resources . Suppose you have only $ 20 to spend on gasoline each week . When the price of gasoline rises from $ 2 per gallon to $ 4 per gallon , the purchasing power of that $ 20 falls from 10 to 5 gallons of gasoline . The resulting decrease in the quantity of gasoline demanded is due to the income effect

Substitution Effect

The effect that a change in the price of one good , service , or resource has on the demand for another . For example , an increase in the price of one good will increase the demand for its substitutes , and vice versa . Victor usually eats an orange or an apple every day with his lunch . The substitution effect explains why , when he sees the price of oranges increase one week , he substitutes away from oranges and buys more apples instead .

Resource

The inputs used to produce goods and services ; also known as factors of production . Resources fall into four categories : land , labor , capital , and entrepreneurial ability . Henry Ford organized resources - land , labor , capital , and his own entrepreneurial ability - in order to produce automobiles .

Resources

The inputs used to produce goods and services ; also known as factors of production . Resources fall into one of four categories : land , labor , capital , and entrepreneurial ability .

Technology

The knowledge , inventions , and innovations that can potentially increase resource productivity

_____ focuses entirely on the effect of a change in the good's price on the quantity of the product consumed and holds everything else constant .

The law of demand

Diminishing Marginal Utility

The negative relationship between the quantity of a good , service , or resource and the marginal utility obtained from each additional unit consumed in a given period of time . For Monica , the first cup of coffee in the morning is worth $ 3 ; the second cup is worth only $ 1 . So , if the price of coffee is $ 2 per cup , she buys one cup of coffee . Her first cup of coffee gives her a lot of satisfaction and is worth the price . She doesn't buy a second cup because of diminishing marginal utility : The second cup is worth only $ 1 to her , so she can't justify paying $ 2 to buy it .

Market Demand

The overall , or total , demand for a good , service , or resource . It represents the horizontal summation of the quantities demanded by individuals , firms , states , or even nations at each price over a fixed time period , all else held constant .

Diminishing Marginal Productivity

The principle that if at least one input of production is fixed , the marginal productivity of additional variable resources will eventually fall , all else held constant . At some point , adding more labor to fixed capital generates a situation where workers get in the way of other employees trying to work . If a restaurant owner decides to hire additional employees but does not change the size of the restaurant or the amount of capital available to its employees to perform their tasks , the restaurant will likely experience diminishing marginal productivity .

Quantity Demanded

The quantity of a good , service , or resource that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given price .

Quantity Supplied

The quantity of a good , service , or resource that producers are willing and able to supply at a given price .
