Look for the answers to these questions
• What factors affect buyers’ demand for
goods?
• What factors affect sellers’ supply of goods?
•How do supply and demand determine the
price of a good and the quantity sold?
•How do changes in the factors that affect
demand or supply affect the market price
and quantity of a good?
•How do markets allocate resources?

Markets and Competition
•Competitive market
–Many buyers and many sellers, each has
a negligible impact on market price
•Perfectly competitive market
–All goods are exactly the same
–Buyers and sellers are so numerous that
no one can affect the market price, “Price
takers”

Demand
•Quantity demanded
–Amount of a good that buyers are willing
and able to purchase
•Law of demand
–Other things equal
–When the price of a good rises, the
quantity demanded of the good falls
–When the price falls, the quantity
demanded rises

relationship between the
price of a good and the
quantity demanded
−Example: Sam’s demand
for lattes
− Notice that Sam’s
preferences obey the law
of demand.

Demand
•Market demand
–Sum of all individual demands for a good
or service
–Market demand curve: sum the individual
demand curves horizontally
•To find the total quantity demanded at any
price, we add the individual quantities

Suppose Sam and Dean are the only two buyers in
the market for lattes. (Qd= quantity demanded)

Demand Curve Shifters
•The demand curve
–Shows how price affects quantity
demanded, other things being equal
• These “other things” are non-price
determinants of demand
– Things that determine buyers’ demand for
a good, other than the good’s price
• Changes in them shift the D curve…

Demand Curve Shifters
•Number of buyers
–Increase in # of buyers
•Increases quantity demanded at each price
•Shifts D curve to the right
–Decrease in # of buyers
