- Demand and the Determinants of DemandIn a competitive market, demand for and supply of a good or service determine the equilibrium price.

- Efficiency in perfectly competitive marketsKey points Long-run equilibrium in perfectly competitive markets meets two important conditions: allocative efficiency and productive efficiency. These two conditions have important implications. First, resources are allocated to their best alternative use. Second, they provide the maximum satisfaction attainable by society. Efficiency in perfectly...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 5031 Views 0 Vista previa
- Elasticity in the long run and short runKey points In the market for goods and services, quantity supplied and quantity demanded are often relatively slow to react to changes in price in the short run, but they react more substantially in the long run. As a result, demand and supply often—but not always—tend to be relatively inelastic in the short run and relatively elastic in the long run....0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 5759 Views 0 Vista previa
- How perfectly competitive firms make output decisionsKey points As a perfectly competitive firm produces a greater quantity of output, its total revenue steadily increases at a constant rate determined by the given market price. Profits will be highest—or losses will be smallest—for a perfectly competitive firm at the quantity of output where total revenues exceed total costs by the greatest amount, or where total...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 5127 Views 0 Vista previa
- Law of DemandKey points The law of demand states that a higher price leads to a lower quantity demanded and that a lower price leads to a higher quantity demanded. Demand curves and demand schedules are tools used to summarize the relationship between quantity demanded and price. Demand for goods and services Economists use the term demand to...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 5276 Views 0 Vista previa
- Law of SupplyKey points The law of supply states that a higher price leads to a higher quantity supplied and that a lower price leads to a lower quantity supplied. Supply curves and supply schedules are tools used to summarize the relationship between supply and price. Supply of goods and services When economists talk about supply, they mean the amount of some good...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4537 Views 0 Vista previa
- Market equilibriumKey points Supply and demand curves intersect at the equilibrium price. This is the price at which we would predict the market will operate. Where demand and supply intersect Because the graphs for demand and supply curves both have price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis, the demand curve and supply curve for a particular good or service can...0 Commentarios 0 Acciones 4950 Views 0 Vista previa
