2. Willingness
and ability to buy
at a given price
Demand

3. Change in Quantity Demanded
Movement along a stable demand
curve showing that a different quantity is purchases in response to a change in price of that product.
Change in Quantity Demanded

4. When the price of a product decreases I buy more quantity
When the price of a product decreases I buy more quantity. When the price rises I buy less quantity. An inverse relationship.
Law of Demand

5. Income Effect Substitution Effect Diminishing Marginal Utility
What are the three reasons for the
L law of demand?
Income Effect
Substitution Effect
Diminishing Marginal
Utility

6. Income Effect The portion of a change in quantity
demanded that is caused by a price change. This has nothing to do with one’s pay or income.
Income Effect

7. Substitution Effect The portion of a change in quantity
demanded that is caused by a change in price that makes other products less costly.
Substitution Effect

8. Diminishing Marginal Utility
People get less usefulness or satisfaction as they consume more and more of a product.
Diminishing Marginal Utility

9. Consumer demand for different accounts at every price that make the demand curve shift left of right. Shown by a shift of the entire demand curve. Right for an increase and left for a decrease.
Change in Demand

10. TRIPE or factors that cause a Change in Demand
Tastes and Preferences, Related Goods, Income, population, and expectations
Shifts the entire demand curve
TRIPE or factors that cause a Change in Demand

11. Branch of economic theory that deals with behavior and decision making by small units such as individuals and firms.
Microeconomics

12. Measure of responsiveness that tells us how a dependent variable, such as quantity, responds to a change in an independent variable, such as price.
Elasticity

13. Type of elasticity where the percentage change in an independent variable (usually price) results in a larger change in the dependent variable (usually quantity demanded or supplied).
Elastic

14. Type of elasticity where the percentage change in an independent variable (usually price) generates a causes a less than proportionate change in the dependent variable (quantity demanded or supplied)
Inelastic

15. Elasticity where a change in the independent variable (usually price) generates a proportional change dependent variable (quantity demanded or supplied).  
Unit Elastic

16. The three factors that determine whether a product’s demand is elastic or inelastic.
a) Are their close substitutes available. If yes then elastic. If no then inelastic. b) How important it is to your household budget. If it is expensive, then it is elastic. If it is cheap, then it is inelastic. c) The period of time involved. If its short-term, people tend to be inelastic. Over time they adjust and can be elastic.
