All buyers generally behave the same way,
so we can make some generalities.

When price increases . . .
quantity demanded decreases.
OR
When price decreases . . .
quantity demanded increases.

This is called the law of demand!!!
It shows the inverse relationship between price & quantity
demanded.

Demand Schedule
• Demand schedule – shows quantity demanded at various prices for one consumer
• Market Demand schedule – shows quantity demanded by all consumers in the market

Demand Curve
• You see a demand curve slopes downward, from left to right, showing the inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.

Limitations of Demand Curve
• The demand curve is only accurate for one set of conditions. It only shows changes in price. If anything other than price changes then the demand curve will no longer be valid.

Concepts That Explain the Law of Demand
(why the demand curve slopes downward)

![Page 18: What is Demand? ©2012, TESCCC Economics Unit 4, Lesson 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55142864550346d8488b5b7d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1. The Income Effect
The price of an item goes up or down, and it is as if your income has changed; causing the
quantity demanded to change.
©2012, TESCCC
![Page 19: What is Demand? ©2012, TESCCC Economics Unit 4, Lesson 1.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/55142864550346d8488b5b7d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
2. Substitution Effect
If the price of an item changes, especially if it goes up, a consumer will substitute another item
that is cheaper.
This causes the
quantity
demanded to
change.

3. Diminishing Marginal Utility
As each additional unit of a good or service is consumed, the satisfaction received from
consuming that good decreases. For example, the first hamburger you eat is great
but the second is not as satisfying, so you would not be willing to pay as much for it.
The third brings even less satisfaction.
