Price (£) Quantity Demanded (000s) Demand £10 £5 100150 The demand curve slopes downwards from left to right (a negative slope) indicating an inverse relationship between price and the quantity demanded. Quantity demanded will be higher at lower prices than at higher prices. As price falls, quantity demanded rises. As price rises, quantity demanded falls.

12
The level of demand – ◦ determines where on the graph it sits Low demand – ◦ nearer the origin High demand – ◦ further from the origin (assuming same scale) Dependent on a variety of factors Demand curve moves in response to changing factors
13
Factors influencing demand D = f (P n, P n …P n-1, Y, T, P, A, E) Where: P n = Price P n …P n-1 = Prices of other goods – substitutes and complements Y = Incomes – the level and distribution of income T = Tastes and fashions P = The level and structure of the population A = Advertising E = Expectations of consumers
14
Changes in any of the factors other than price causes the demand curve to shift either: Left (Less demanded at each price) or Right (More demanded at each price)

Price ($) Quantity Demanded (000s) Demand £10 100 D1 D2 10200 Changes in any of the factors affecting demand other than price cause the entire demand curve to shift to the left (less demanded at each price) or to the right (more demanded at each price).

Price ($) Quantity Demanded (000s) Demand $10 100 D1 D2 10200 An increase in demand means Consumers are willing and able to buy more of the product at each possible price $5 An increase in demand also means that consumers to buy a given number at a higher price
