  2. One of the most basic concepts of economics is Supply and Demand. They are really two separate things, but they are almost always talked about together

  3. DEMAND Demand is the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at a particular price. Since each of us has different needs and wants, we each have different demands. When we buy a particular good or use a particular service, we are expressing demand for it.

  4. Price Demand Law of Demand • Consumers buy more as price decreases. • As price increases consumers buy less.

  5. Four conditions that create demand: 1. Consumers must be aware of and interested in the product. - advertising 2. Enough supply of product 3. Prices are reasonable and competitive 4. Product must be accessible to consumers.

  6. Four factors that affect demand (increase or decrease) 1. Changing consumer income – income increases , people buy more 2. Changing consumer tastes – fashion changing 3. Changing expectations for the future – if price to increase – buy more (HST intro) 4. Changes in population – number of people, ages

  7. SUPPLY • Supply is the quantity of a good or service that businesses are willing and able to provide within a range of prices that people would be willing to pay.

  8. Price Supply Law of Supply: • As prices increase, the quantity supplies will increase.
