This document discusses how supply and demand interact in a market when demand increases or decreases. When demand increases, the demand curve shifts to the right, creating a shortage at the original price. The price rises until quantity demanded and supplied are equal again, eliminating the shortage.
2 Learning Objectives Identify demand functions and distinguish between a change in demand and a change in quantity demanded Identify supply functions and distinguish between a change in supply and a change in quantity supplied Explain why market equilibrium occurs at the price for which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied Measure gains ...
* An increase in supply creates a surplus, and downward pressure on price. The new equilibrium occurs at point E2, with a lower price and a higher quantity sold. * An increase in demand creates a shortage, and upward pressure on price.
Learn how prices are determined, influences on demand and supply, and how to predict changes using demand and supply analysis. Understand the law of demand, factors influencing buying plans, and shifts in demand curves.

It explains how supply and demand interact through examples of how changes in demand or supply can shift the curves and impact equilibrium price and quantity. For example, an increase in demand from hot weather leads to a higher equilibrium price and quantity sold of ice cream.
Draw a demand and supply model before the economic change took place. Step 2. Decide whether the economic change affects demand or supply. Step 3. Decide whether the effect causes a curve shift to the right or to the left, and sketch the new curve on the diagram. Step 4. Identify the new equilibrium and then compare to the original.
Causes of Increase in Demand • Increase in consumer income • Causes consumers to buy more of the product at each and every price. • Normal goods • Inferior goods.
Definition: Cross elasticity (Exy) tells us the relationship between two products. it measures the sensitivity of quantity demand change of product X to a change in the price of product Y. Formula: Exy = percentage change in Quantity demanded of X / percentage change in Price of Y.
This document provides an overview of supply and demand concepts including: - Demand is determined by consumers' willingness and ability to purchase goods at different price levels, while supply is determined by producers' willingness to provide goods at different price levels.
