Q

What is composite demand?

A

17
Q

What could excess demand result in?

A

It may result in queuing and an upward pressure on price, higher prices then ration demand to those consumers with effective demand. These higher prices in theory could stimulate an expansion of supply as producers respond to the chance of higher profits.

Q

How is excess demand represented on a Demand and Supply curve?

A

See internet image.

19
Q

What is excess supply?

A

Excess supply is a state of disequilibrium in a market, supply is greater than demand there are unsold goods in the market.

20
Q

How does excess supply effect the demand and supply curve?

A

Surpluses put downward pressure on the market price, as prices fall, there is an extension of demand which helps to lower the excess supply and take the market towards equilibrium.

21
Q

What is consumer surplus?

A

Consumer surplus is the difference between the price consumers are able to pay for a good or service and total amount they actually pay.

22
Q

What is producer surplus?

A

Producer surplus is the difference between the price producers are able to supply a product for and the price they actually supply..

23
Q

What does PED measure?

A

The responsiveness of demand to a change in a good’s price.

24
Q

What is the formula for PED?

A

QD/P

25
Q

What is the PED of a downward sloping demand curve of normal good?

A

Negative.

26
Q

What does a PED of 0 mean?

A

Demand is perfectly inelastic, demand does not change when the price change, the demand curve is vertical

27
Q

What does a PED OF 1 mean?

A

Demand is unitary elastic, this means the change in demand is equal to the change in price. Downward slope google.

28
Q

What are the factors affecting the PED?

A 
Availability of substitutes
Cost of switching to a different product
Degree of necessity
Brand loyalty
Percentage of income spent
29
Q

What does a PED of infinity mean?

A

Demand is perfectly elastic, a change in supply will not lead to any change in equilibrium price, shown by a horizontal demand curve.

30
Q

What is price discrimination?

A

This is where the suppliers decides to charge different prices for the same product to different segments of the market.

31
Q

How can PED be used by a firm?

A

It can be used to see how a price change will affect total revenue of sellers.

32
Q

What is the income elasticity of normal goods?

A

Positive

33
Q

What is the income elasticity of Luxury goods?

A

Greater than 1

34
Q

What is income elasticity of necessities?

A

0-1

35
Q

What is the income elasticity of inferior goods?

A

Negative

36
Q

What are inferior goods?

A

Inferior goods are counter cyclical goods - this means that they are products whose demand varies inversely to the economic cycle- i.e. demand rises in a recession.

37
Q

What are examples of inferior goods?

A

Own label discounters
Bus transport
Cigarettes
Own label cereals

38
Q

What is the cross elasticity of close of unrelated products?

A

Zero.

39
Q

What is perfectly elastic supply?

A

An increase in demand can be met without any change in market price. Horizontal

40
Q

What is perfectly inelastic supply?

A

Supply is fixed and does not respond to a change in the market prices. Vertical supply

41
Q

What does an elastic supply curve look like?

A

Non-steep supply curve

42
Q

What does an inelastic supply curve look like?

A

Steep supply curve

43
Q

What does an elastic demand curve look like?

A

Non steep demand curve

44
Q

Does an inelastic demand curve look like

A

Steep demand curve
