Executive Summary
In this report, I will be distinguishing Demand and Quantity Demanded by stating the differences between both terminologies. By referring to the textbook which we are using throughout our course plus resources from the internet, I have been able to collect some information about the definitions of demand and quantity demanded. The factors which affect the movement along the curve and shifting of the curve have been stated in the following pages in this report. Demand and Quantity Demanded are different in terminologies and also literally. The demand and quantity demanded curve has differences and it can be seen in the figures which I had pasted below.
What is Economics?
It is the study of resource allocation, distribution and consumption, of capital and investment, and of the management of the factors of production. (http://wikitionary.org/wiki/economics)
In short, economics is the study of how people allocating their limited resources.
What is demand?
According to the Economics textbook, "it refers to the range of quantities of a commodity, which a consumer is willing and able to buy at different price levels at a given time." In short, it is where the customers are willing to buy supported by money.
The law of demand states that if everything remains constant (ceteris paribus) when the price is high the lower the quantity demanded. A demand curve displays quantity demanded as the independent variable (the x-axis) and the price as the dependent variable (the y-axis). http://www.netmba.com/econ/micro/demand/curve/

The introduction of new taxes, especially taxes for the goods bought, the demand will surely decrease. The curve will shift to the left.
Difference between Demand and Quantity Demanded
Demand is where the price is not the factor which will shift the demand curve to the left or right. There is no movement along the demand curve as the price remains the same even though there is a shift in demand. Change in demand is represented by the shift of the demand curve.
Quantity demanded is where the price is the factor. The movement along the demand curve only happens if there is a change in price. If there is a movement along the curve, the demand does not change. Change in quantity demanded is represented by the movement along the demand curve.
A change in quantity demanded A change in demand
In economics, particularly microeconomics, demand and supply are defined as, “an economic model of price determination in a market” (Ronald 2010). The price of petrol in Australia is rising, but the demand remains the same, due to the fact that fuel is a necessity. As price rises to higher levels, demand would continue to increase, even if the supply may fall. Singapore is identified as a primary supplier ...
Before the 1970s, economists focused on demand control, believing the supply was flexible enough to always adjust to demand. Demand is the relationship between price and quantity demanded; all other things constant. Before the 1970s, the created macroeconomic models, known as Keynesian models, were to tell how to control demand, to keep it stabilized so a country did not spiral into a deflationary period. They expected a demand shock do to this, but instead, in the 1970s they got a supply shock. A negative supply shock, as was the case, is when production costs increase and quantity supplied is decreased and any aggregate price level. Policy-makers, however, said this was a negative demand shock, and tried to fight...

*A basic economic concept plays a vital part in prices of goods. The prices are set in a market that is supported by the laws of supply and demand. Supply and demand factors determined the wants and desires of people or a group. Supply is the product or service a producer has uncommitted and capable to legal transfer by selling . Demand is the amount of the product or service that buyers want to buy .This means that every market has two sides. The two sides are buyers and sellers. The demand side of the market are the buyer. The supply side of the market are the sellers. The relationship of supply and demand has a lot of influence on the price of tangible and intangible goods that are made and bought to satisfy the needs and desires of consumers in a society.
Demand is similar, yet in the opposite direction, to supply. For demand, the higher the price of a good, the lower the quantity bought. Just as there
‘There is a converse relationship between quantities demanded of good and price change’ is the
Economics is the study of how best to allocate scarce resources throughout an entire market. Economics affects our lives on a daily basis, whether it is on a business level or a personal level.
good idea of what part of a demand curve looks like if it is to make
In conclusion, generally speaking the Law of Supply states that when the selling price of an item rises there are more people willing to produce the item. Since a higher price means more profit for the producer and as the price rises more people will be willing to produce the item when they see that there is more money to be earned. Meanwhile the Law of Demand states that when the price of an item goes down, the demand for it will go up. When the price drops people who could not afford the item can now buy it, and people who are not willing to buy it before will now buy it at the lower price as well. Also, if the price of an item drops enough people will buy more of the product and even find alternative uses for the product.
The decrease in the demand for apples is inferior while on the other hand, the increase in the demand for bananas is normal. Well with the decrease in the demand for apples the seller has to revaluate the price of it, which means cut it in half or bring it down to a reasonable price in order to get more costumers back. However, with the increase in demand for bananas, would come to a point where he will have an insufficiency of it so he will have to increase the price of it. 2.
In a market demand, there are two markets, product markets and resource markets. Anytime a market exists, there are buyers and sellers. The buyers of a good or service are called demanders. A demand is best defined as the willingness and ability to buy a good at a range of prices (Cowen, Tabarrok 27). The law of demand states that there is always an inverse relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded. When the price of a good is high, a lower quantity will be demanded by the buyer of that good. It is also true that if the price of a good is low, the greater quantity will be demanded. For this illustration, I will use the market for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream storefront. Assume that the high price of ice cream at Ben & Jerry's was selling $12 per scoop. We can assume that the quantity demanded for ice cream will be low. But as the price of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream per scoop drops further to $7, $6, or $1, ceteris paribus, more consumers will be able and willing to afford Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. According to Nancy
Because when the price of cars is so high, people will buy less cars. However, when the price of cars is low, people will buy more cars than before. According to the diagram,when the price of cars is 30,000, the quantity of cars are five. In addition, when the price of cars is 20,000, the quantity od cars are ten. So we can know clearly that the demand curve is sloping down.
The degree to which a demand or supply curve reacts to a change in price is the curve's elasticity. Generally in business or in economics, the elasticity is referred as degree to which consumers, individuals or producers change their demand or amount supplied in response to price or income changes.
That is, it is sensitive to price change, and also to the quantity demanded. This means that if many people are consuming a good, the demand is greater than if less people are consuming the good. To further clarify, take the example of attending college. In an environment where most of an individual's peers are going to attend college, the individual will see college as the right thing to do, and also attend college to be like his peers. However, in an environment where most of an individual's peers are not going to attend college, the individual will have a decreased demand for college, and is unlikely to attend.
The Law of Demand states that “there is an inverse relationship between the price of a good and demand. As prices fall, we see an expansion of demand. If price rises, there will be a contraction of demand (Riley, 2016).”
