1 of 19
what does the demand curve show
the relationship between price and quantity demanded
2 of 19
how do you calculate percentage change
change in value / original value x100
3 of 19
price elasticity of demand (PED)
% change in QD / % change in price
4 of 19
income elasticity of demand (YED)
% change in QD / % change in income
5 of 19
cross elasticity of demand (XED)
% change in QD of good X / % change in price of good Y
6 of 19
supply definition
the amount of a good or service that producers are willing and able to sell at any given price
7 of 19
price elasticity of supply (PES)
% change in QS / % change in price
8 of 19
market period
all inputs in the production process are fixed and so is quantity of output so for a period of time you cant produce more even if you want to
9 of 19
Equilibrium
is achieved when QD = QS

joint supply
+ supply of good A leads to + supply of good B , typically one good is the by product of the main
11 of 19
competing supply
+ in supply of good A leads to - in demand of good B , typically same factors of production are used for both
12 of 19
composite demand
good has more than one use, demand for one usage + then supply - for other uses
13 of 19
derived demand
good A is needed for production of good B, so demand for good A + when demand for good B +
