The demand schedule represents the relationship between the prices of a good, service, or resource:
and the quantity that individuals and firms are willing and able to buy, all else held constant, in a tabular form.
The law of demand states that:
as the price of a good, service, or resource falls; the quantity demanded will rise, all else held constant.
The law of demand states that:
as the price of a good, service, or resource rises, the quantity demanded will fall, all else held constant.
When you plot the data from the demand schedule on a graph, the result is called the demand _______________.
curve
The price of carpeting has decreased. As a result demand for hardwood floors, a substitute for carpeting, will
decrease
Market ___________ is based on the overall preferences of consumers in the market.
demand
When the price of a related good, such as a substitute or a complement, changes:
demand can increase or decrease.
A graphical representation of the relationship between the price of a good, service, or resource and the quantity that individuals and firms are willing and able to buy, all else held constant, describes the:
demand curve
A normal good, as opposed to an inferior good, is a good for which:
demand increases as income increases.
The ______________ ______________ represents the relationship between the price of a good, service, or resource and the quantity that individuals and firms are willing and able to buy, all else held constant, in a tabular form.

A tabular representation of the relationship between the price of a good, service, or resource and the quantity that individuals and firms are willing and able to buy, all else held constant, describes the:
demand schedule.
Prices of related goods, complements and substitutes, are:
determinants of demand.
The horizontal summation of individual demand curves:
gives the market demand curve.
A(n) ______________ is a tangible product that consumers, firms, or governments wish to purchase.

Market demand is based on the:

substitute
When considering how changes in tastes and preferences or demographics affect demand, we tend to evaluate:
the entire market.
The overall or total demand for a good, service, or resource is:
the market demand.
Other things held constant, the demand curve will shift when:
the nonprice determinants of demand change.
Two goods are considered substitutes if:
there is a direct relationship between the price of one good and the demand for the substitute.
The income effect, the substitution effect, and diminishing marginal utility explain:
why the quantity demanded will fall when prices rise.
Which of the following are reasons for the demand curve sloping downward?
♥The income effect ♥Diminishing marginal utility ♥The substitution effect
Select all that apply The demand curve for a normal good is downward sloping because
♥when consumers purchase substitutes, the quantity demanded of the good falls. ♥as prices rise, the purchasing power of each dollar earned falls, and consumers are willing and able to buy less of a good. ♥the benefit of consuming more of a good falls with each additional unit, so the price consumers are willing and able to pay also falls with increased consumption.
