1. Supply and Demand A MARKET IN WHEAT

2. Today’s Objective  After today’s lesson, students will be able to…  Explain how supply and demand work together  Essential Skill:  Demonstrate understanding of concepts

3. A Market in Wheat  Read over the instructions for this activity

4. BUY AND SELL! ROUND 1 ROUND 2 ROUND 3

5. Hints!  More transactions = More chances at profit. You must buy and sell each round  You should not let other students see your card  You can only have one card at a time  You do not have to make a profit with every transaction. Win the war, not all the battles.  Check in on the class transactions tally to see what wheat is going for these days!

6. What your graph should look like:

7. Questions  At what price was wheat most frequently sold in each round?  Why did the prices become more clustered together in the later rounds?  Did buyers or sellers determine the price for wheat?  How did competition among the sellers and the buyers influence the price?

12.  Along a supply curve, if the price of oil falls, what will happen to the quantity of oil supplied?  It will decrease  It will increase  It will not change  If the price of cars falls, carmakers are likely to make ___________.  More cars  Fewer cars  The same amount of cars

13.  All other things held constant, which of the following would not cause a change in the supply of beef?  A decrease in the price of beef  A decrease in the price of cattle feed  An increase in the price of cattle feed  An increase in the cost of transporting cattle to market  “Falling oil prices have caused a sharp decrease in the supply of oil” Speaking precisely, and using terms as they are defined by economists, choose the statement that best describes this quotation.  The quotation is correct: a decrease in price causes a decrease in supply.  The quotation is incorrect: a decrease in price causes an increase in supply, not a decrease in supply.  The quotation is incorrect: a decrease in price causes an increase in the quantity supplied, not a decrease in supply.  The quotation is incorrect: a decrease in price causes a decrease in the quantity supplied, not a decrease in supply.

14. Bottom Line  The price of nearly everything that you buy is determined by the interaction of supply and demand. Supply and demand also determine the quantity of goods and services that are bought and sold in a market.

15. Putting it Together  To determine price, we put both the supply and demand curve together on the same graph  Next we establish an equilibrium price: point at which the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded  Equilibrium is found at the point where the two lines intersect

16. Shortage

17. Surplus

18. Each curve can shift: Single Curve Shifts

19. Four Single Shifts  Memorize 1. Demand, then P, and Q 2. Demand, then P, and Q 3. Supply, then P, and Q 4. Supply, then P, and Q

25. Dual Shifts-When both curves move D S P ? Q D S P Q? D S P Q? D S P ? Q

26. CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY AND DEMAND If supply and demand decrease by the same amount, price will be unchanged and the quantity will decrease.

27. CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY AND DEMAND If supply decreases less than demand, price will decrease and quantity will decrease.

28. CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY AND DEMAND If supply decreases more than demand, price will increase and quantity will decrease.

29. CHANGES IN BOTH SUPPLY AND DEMAND If supply increases and demand decreases, the price will decrease and the quantity will not change.

30. Practice  Take a worksheet from the front to practice double shifts. There will also be examples of single shifts
