Terms in this set (32)Supply and demand Are the forces that make market economies work. They determine the quantity of each good produced and the price at which it is sold. Market A group of buyers and sellers of a particular good or service What is a market The buyers as a group determine the demand for the product, and the sellers as a group determine the supply of the product Competitive market A market in which there are many buyers and many sellers so that each has a negligible impact on the market price. Perfectly competitive To reach this highest form of competition, a market must have 2 characteristics: 1. The goods offered for sale are all exactly the same. 2. The buyers and sellers are so numerous that no single buyer or seller has any influence over the market price. Quantity demanded Amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase

ECONOMICS The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has experienced two disasters. The Challenger exploded over the Atlantic Ocean in 1986, and the Columbia disintegrated on reentry over East Texas in 2003.

Verified answer
ECONOMICS The state of Maine has a very active lobster industry, which harvests lobsters during the summer months. During the rest of the year, lobsters can be obtained by restaurants from producers in other parts of the world, but at a much higher price. Maine is also full of "lobster shacks," roadside restaurants serving lobster dishes that are open only during the summer. Supposing that the market demand for lobster dishes remains the same throughout the year, explain why it is optimal for lobster shacks to operate only during the summer.

The relationship between the quantity demanded and the price of a good when all other influences on buying plans remain the same. Demand is a list of quantities at different prices and is illustrated by the demand curve.
What happens to demand when the price of a good decreases?If the price decreases, quantity demanded increases. This is the Law of Demand. On a graph, an inverse relationship is represented by a downward sloping line from left to right.
When the rise in the price of a good causes decrease in demand for another good two called goods?There lies an inverse relationship between the price of one complementary good and the demand for another complementary good, since the complementary goods are required to be consumed together. Thus, with the rise in price of one commodity, which is a complementary good, the demand for the other decreases.
When two goods are complements a shock that lowers the price of one good causes the price of the other good to?a. If two goods are complements, a decrease in the price of one good will cause the demand for the other good to decrease. b. If two goods are substitutes, an increase in the price of one good causes the demand for the other good to increase.
