Maximizing Behavior • Consumers maximize their utility (satisfaction) given limited resources. • Businesses try to maximize profits by using resources efficiently in producing goods. • Government maximizes general welfare of society. Chapter 1-3 Review 11

Individual Demand • A demand exists only if someone is willing and able to pay for a good. • When people purchase a product there is an opportunity cost. Chapter 1-3 Review 16
Law of Demand • The quantity of a good demanded in a given time period increases as its price falls. Chapter 1-3 Review 17

Demand Schedule PriceQuantity Purchased $1 8,000 $2 4,000 $3 2,000 $4 500 $5 1 Chapter 1-3 Review 19
Demand Curve • A curve describing the quantities of a good a consumer is willing and able to buy at alternative prices in a given time period. Chapter 1-3 Review 20
Demand Curves • Demand curves show us how changes in market prices alter consumer behavior. Chapter 1-3 Review 21
Demand Curve Chapter 1-3 Review 22

Shifts in Demand Chapter 1-3 Review 25
Movements vs. Shifts • Changes in quantity demanded • movements along a demand curve, in response to price changes for that good. • Changes in demand • shifts of the demand curve due to changes in tastes, income, other goods, or expectations. Chapter 1-3 Review 26
The Market Demand Curve • Market demand represents the combined demands of all market participants. • The separate demands of individual consumers is added up to determine the total quantity demanded at any given price. Chapter 1-3 Review 27

Equilibrium • ”Market clearing” balance • The Price level where Quantity Supplied is equal to Quantity Demanded. Chapter 1-3 Review 38
Equilibrium Chapter 1-3 Review 39
Market Surplus • quantity supplied > quantity demanded at a given price. • created when the seller’s asking prices are too high - above the equilibrium price. Chapter 1-3 Review 40
