Demand Curve: A graph of the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded. Market Demand: the sum of all all of the individual demands. Any factors other than price change- demand curve shifts An increase in demand- shift to the right Normal Good: An increase in income-- increase in demand Inferior Good: an increase in income---- decrease in demand Substitutes: Increase in the price of one good-- increase in the demand for the other good Complements: Increase in the price of one good -- decrease in the demand for the other good Tastes: ex.

True T/F: An increase in the price of pizza will shift the demand curve for pizza to the left. True demand down = shift to left T/F: Whenever a determinant of demand other than price changes, the demand curve shifts. True T/F: A reduction in the price of a product and an increase in the number of buyers in the market affect the demand curve in the same general way. ... The Supply Curve: The relationship between price and quantity supplied Quantity Supplied: the amount of a good that sellers are willing and able to sell. -always positively related to price.

False T/F: A supply curve slopes upward because, all else equal, a higher price mean a greater quantity supplied. True T/F: a movement along the supply curve is called a change in supply while a shift of the curve is called a change in quantity supplied. False T/F: If there is an improvement in the technology of producing a product. the supply curve for the product will shift to the left. False The supply will increase and therefore shift to the left. T/F: a reduction on an input price will cause a change in the quantity supplied, but not a change in supply. False Market's Equilibrium: the point where the supply and demand curves intersect Equilibrium: when at certain price quantity supplied equals quantity demanded. Equilibrium price: the price that balances quantity supplied and quantity demanded Equilibrium quantity: the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded at the equilibrium price. Surplus: -quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded to lower surplus: producers lower the price (sales) Shortage: -quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied -sellers raise the price until the market reaches equilibrium Law of supply and demand: the price adjusts to bring the supply and demand into balance (equilibrium) T/F: Quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied, at the equilibrium price True T/F: Surpluses drive up the price while shortages drive down price: False T/F: A shortage will occur at any price below the equilibrium price and a surplus will occur at any price above the equilibrium price.

What happens when a price increases for complementary good?Complementary goods will have a negative cross elasticity of demand. If the price of one good increases, demand for both complementary goods will fall.
What are complementary and supplementary goods?Supplementary Goods or Complementary Goods are goods that are used together. E.g. shoes and socks, knife and cutting board,… Remember, complementary sounds like complete, so in a sense, the products will complete each other (it would make more sense if they go together).
