Learning Objective: • Today I will be able to explain the law of demand by interpreting price changes on advertisements. • Agenda: • Learning Objective • Lecture: Ch. 4.1 Demand Curve • Price Changes on Advertisements • Exit Slip CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Once recreational use of marijuana was legalized in the state of Colorado, how did it change the demand for marijuana? • How might this marijuana shop be a monopoly within the city of Breckenridge ? • Analyze how is it Cannabis meets capitalism? CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Title Notes: Ch. 4.1 Demand Curve CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Demand: • Consumer willing & able to buy. • indicates how much of a product consumers are both willing and able to buy at each possible price during a given period, other things remaining constant. • Law of Demand • The relationship between price & quantity demanded. • Higher the price, the less quantity demanded, vice versa. • Quantity demanded varies inversely with price, other things constant. • .
Law of Demand • Demand, wants, and needs • Consumer demand and consumer wants are not the same thing. CONSUMER WANT vs CONSUMER DEMAND CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Law of Demand • Substitution effect • Change in price of a good changes demand of similar goods– causes the substitution effect. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Cereal CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Law of Demand • Income effect • Real income – that is, your income measured in terms of how many goods and services it can buy. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
The satisfaction you get from a second pizza is your marginal utility of that pizza
Marginal Utility: • Satisfaction derived from additional unit of product. • The Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility – the more goods consumed per period, the less you consume. • The smaller total utility (satisfaction) increases from consuming one more unit, other things constant. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Law of Demand • Diminishing marginal utility (Continue) • The law of diminishing marginal utility helps explain why people buy more when the price decreases. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Checkpoint Pg. 105 Explain the law of demand in your own words. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Demand Schedule and Demand Curve • When you describe demand, you must specify the units being measured & time being considered. • Units: is 1 item/product • Ex. 13 units of pizzas= 13 pizzas. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Price Quantity Demanded per Pizza per Week (millions) a $15 8 b 12 14 c 9 20 d 6 26 e 3 32 Demand Schedule • .The schedule (chart) lists possible prices, along the quantity demanded at each price. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
a $15 b 12 c 9 Price per pizza d 6 e 3 D 0 8 14 20 26 32 Millions of pizzas per week Demand Curve • .The curve (line) on the graph that shows the points or relationship between the quantity demanded at each price. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
a $15 b 12 c 9 Price per pizza d 6 e 3 D 0 8 14 20 26 32 Millions of pizzas per week Demand Curve for Pizza • The demand curves slopes downward, reflecting the Law of Demand : • Price and quantity demanded are inversely, or negatively, related, other things constant. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Demand Schedule and Demand Curve • Demand versus quantity demanded • An individual point on the demand curve shows the quantity demanded. • Demand, is not a specific quantity, but the entire relation between price and quantity demanded. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Demand Schedule and Demand Curve • Individual demand and market demand • The market demand curve shows the total quantity demanded per period by all consumers at various prices. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1

(d) Market demand for pizzas D + + = $12 8 d d d Price C B H 4 1 2 3 6 Pizzas (per week) Market Demand for Pizzas CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Demand Schedule and Demand Curve • Individual demand and market demand • The market demand is simply the sum of the individual curves for all consumers in the market. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Checkpoint Pg. 107 What do a demand schedule and demand curve show? ? CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Price Changes on Advertisements CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
Price Changes on Advertisements • Step 1: Find an example of a business that recently raised or lowered prices. (ONLINE/GROUPON/NEWSPAPER/ADS) • ___________________________________ • Step 2: Answer questions • Did it increase or decrease? About how much did the price change? • How will the price change affect consumer demand of the product in the following areas: • Law of Demand: • Income Effect: • Substitution Effect: • Diminishing Marginal Utility:
Exit Slip • Identify a good OR service you consumed in the past that has made you follow the law of demand. Explain in what ways did you follow the law of demand. CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS: LESSON 4.1
