Demand‚ Supply and Market Equilibrium Every market has a demand side and a supply side and where these two forces are in balance it is said that the markets are at equilibrium. The Demand Schedule: The Demand side can be represented by law of downward sloping demand curve. When the price of commodity is raised (ad other things held constant)‚ buyers tend to buy less of the commodity. Similarly when the price is lowered‚ other things being constant‚ quantity demanded increases. The above

Supply and Demand Simulation In the University of Phoenix simulator (2003)‚ learners are taken through the Supply and demand of two-bedroom flats in a town known as Atlantis. The simulator itself is used as a device to learn about the supply and demand shapes as well as stability. Other key learning points are the aspects that impact supply and demand‚ the impact that a cost roof has on the amount required and the amount provided. Throughout the simulator‚ learners figure out the lease rates

Each enlargement of output adds to
