Why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward: To answer this question‚ we recall that the components of economy’s GDP: Y = C + I + G + NX We assume that government spending is fixed. The other three components: consumption‚ investment‚ and net exports depend on economic conditions and on the price level. 1. The price level and consumption: The wealth effect: Ex: The nominal value of a dollar is fixed‚ yet‚ the real value of a dollar is not fixed. Coca Pizza 1 $ 1 0.5$ 2 → A decrease

What Happens When the Supply Curve Shifts Student Feb 17‚ 2013 Principles of Microeconomics The Supply Curve: Price is usually a major factor in the quantity supplied to the market. For a particular good with all other factors held constant a table could be constructed of price and quantity supplied based on observed data. This table is called a supply schedule‚ example: Supply Schedule Price Quantity Supplied 1 12 2 28 3 42 4 52 5 60 By graphing this data the

• The demand curve is flatter (more horizontal) the closer the substitutes for the product and the less diminishing marginal utility is at work for the buyers. • The dependent variable in demand analysis is the quantity (the number of units) sold. The independent variables are price‚ income of buyers‚ the price of substitutes‚ and the price of complements. • An increase in income shifts the demand curve to the right for normal good. It goes to the left for an inferior good. • An increase in the

The Compensated Demand Curve Definition: the compensated demand curve is a demand curve that ignores the income effect of a price change‚ only taking into account the substitution effect. To do this‚ utility is held constant from the change in the price of the good. In this section‚ we will graphically derive the compensated demand curve from indifference curves and budget constraints by incorporating the substitution and income effects‚ and use the compensated demand curve to find the compensating

(external) forces are equal in magnitude‚ while supply–demand curves are unitary elastic. Given a certain event/scenario‚ (a) analyze the curve/s affected‚ shifts or movements and the direction‚ and (b) effect to equilibrium price (P*) and equilibrium quantity (Q*) Scenario 1 a. Prices of optical drives suddenly increase The production cost has increased so the supply decreases and eventually the price go up. The supply curve shifts to the left. b. A new market-standard operating

Derive the demand curve? To show what the consumer should do to maximize utility‚ a budget line must be added to the preferences shown in the indifference curves. The picture below adds one. Point a is not attainable because it lies to the right of the budget line. The consumer is indifferent between points b and d because they lie on the same indifference curve‚ but point d is cheaper than b because d lies below the budget line. The consumer wants to get on the highest indifference curve affordable

rise by 2% next year. If inflation is expected to be 2% next year‚ what will workers ask for in regard to wages next year? From the question we know that employers and workers want to raise real wages by 2%. But inflation will be 2% in next year. Actually‚ the employers and workers do not changer their real wages‚ so they shod ask for the real wages rise to 4%. b If inflation is expected to be 4% next year‚ rather than 2%‚ what will workers ask for? They should ask the real wages rise

PRODUCTION POSSIBILITY CURVE. In economics‚ the Production Possibility Curve (PPC) is based under the field of macroeconomics. The production possibility curve (PPC) is also termed as the production possibility frontier (PPF)‚ a production possibility boundary or sometimes called product transformation curve. It is defined as a curve that illustrates the possibility of producing two goods or services within a specified time with all the resources given such as (labour‚ land‚ capital and the technical
