PRICE SUPPLY

P1 MARKET EQUILIBRIUM

DEMAND

Q1 QUANTITY S1

Price mechanism means price which affects demand and supply of goods and services. So supply goes up when demand is high and goes down when supply exceed demand. Supplier will lower their supplies because market prices are lower and enter into the market when price of goods rises to keep their firms running.
Market equilibrium means supply equals demand if there is shortage of goods firms would increase price and they will supply more …show more content…

Basically firms can change price to keep their customers in market for certain time.
Incentive- It motivates the producer and customers because higher price will bring more revenue and supply more to the producers. So customers will be interest in prices.
All firms are depending on market and customers because if customers will stop buying goods supply and demand of products will be down.

    We the consumer would rather pay less for any product that is needed or want. Ultimately we are the reason for high prices as well as low prices. Prices of products do not always stay the same and more popular products have higher prices than less popular products. These fluctuations, high prices and low prices are from the idea of supply and demand. Supply and demand defines the effect that the availability of a particular product and the desire or demand for that product has on price. Generally, if there is a low supply and a high demand, the price will be high (Investopedia). To understand the idea of supply and demand, the understanding of supply and the understanding of demand must be defined. The Law of Supply states that at higher prices, producers are willing to offer more products for sale than at lower prices, also that the supply increases as prices increase and decreases as prices decrease (Curriculum Link). The Law of Demand states people will buy more of a product at a lower price than at a higher price, if nothing changes, at a lower price, more people can afford to buy more goods and more of an item more frequently, than they can at a higher price and that at lower prices, people tend to buy some goods as a substitute for others more expensive (Curriculum Link). In todays economics these ideas are seen frequently in everyday life. The laws of supply and demand are seen in many ways in the company Apple Inc. Each year Apple Inc unveils a long awaited mobile operating system and IPhone. We can also see many aspects of the law of supply and demand in Nike Inc’s Jordan Brand. Jordan Brand has released a number of...

  • Competition And School Choice: Inequality And Competition

    In market choice consumers carry the power. Consumers demand products through their willingness and ability to purchase products. As a result of their demand, firms supply or produce goods to satisfy consumers. Both supply and demand can be graphed on supply and demand curves with price as the independent variable and quantity as the dependent variable. The demand curve follows a negative slope, so as the quantity demanded increases price decreases. The supply curve follows an opposite, positive curve, as the quantity supplied increases, so does the price. Looking at both on the same axis we can recognize how supply and demand relate. To see the supply and demand curves for a product, we would look at the quantity supplied verses the quantity

  • Supply And Demand of the Xbox 360

    The law of demand tells us that "Quantity demanded rises as price falls, other things constant, or alternatively, quantity demanded falls as price rises, other things constant (McGraw 2004). The XBOX 360 phenomenon that took place in 2005 is a good example of this economic principle at work. Microsoft's XBOX 360 gaming console was released into the U.S. market on November 22nd 2005. The release came after a great deal of advertising and media hype that ensured that the demand for the product would outweigh the supply. Quite simply, there were more consumers wanting to purchase the product than there was product available. The retail price for the gaming system with a hard drive was $399. Many consumers, however, paid a great deal more than the $399 sticker price to acquire the system. On the morning of the U.S. release, retailers across the nation sold out of the product within just a few hours of opening their doors to consumers. In the weeks that followed however, many consumers purchased the unit from sellers on on-line auction sites and even from individuals in parking lots for as much as $1500. The reason for this was that the supply was significantly less than the demand for the product. In some cases, parents who wanted to ensure that their children received and XBOX 360 for Christmas in 2005 were willing to pay well over retail for the hard-to-acquire system. In other cases, video gaming enthusiasts wanted to be among the first individuals to own and play the system. News reports across the nation showed footage of people lining up days ahead of November 22nd in order to secure a place in line at retailers that would have the product available on the release date.

    As shown above, crisis increases demand for the product leading to a shortage. Supply does not change. Equilibrium price now shifts to the right and increases. The market is now ready and willing to pay for the product or service at a higher price. Upon seeing long of people waiting for the product, sellers either hike the price or bring in more supplies if it were possible. If more suppliers are brought, equilibrium price goes back to normal.

    A change in quantity supplied is just a movement from one point to another in the supply curve. In opposite, the cause of a change in supply is a change in one the determinants of supply that shifts the curve either to the left or the right. These determinants are the resource prices, technology, taxes and subsidies, producer expectations, and number of sellers. An equilibrium price is required to produce an equilibrium quantity and a price below that amount is referred as quantity supplied of zero no firms that are entering that particular business. If the coefficient of price is greater than zero, as the price of the output goes up, firms wants to produce more of that output. As the price of the output goes up it becomes more appealing for the firms to shift resources into the production of that output. Therefore, the slope of a supply curve is the change in price divided by the change in quantity. The constant in this equation is something less (negative number always) than zero because it requires strictly a positive...

  • Equilibrium in the Market

    With supply solely, factors involved with regulation of the supply also control some aspects of demand. Things such as production costs and desired net profit can determine whether a business succeeds or not. Having a balance between quantity and price is the greatest control any business can have. Pricing is obviously one of the most beneficial, or destructive, parts of a business. Pricing is the first and most valuable thing an individual will look at, which will overrule most other judgments based off of quality and detail. Balancing the price, however, helps to create a pristine product, with just the right amount of detail that will fuel the market, while still generating a steady net income.

    At prices higher than the equilibrium price the quantity supplied will be greater than the quantity demanded and the excess supply would oblige sellers to lower their prices in order to dispose of their output. For example, if price is 40p supply would exceed demand by 110. This situation, illustrated in Figure 11.2, where supply exceeds demand and there is downward pressure on price is sometimes described as a buyers’ market.
