Firms and Households:The Basic Decision-Making Units
• A firm is an organization that transforms resources (inputs) into products (outputs). Firms are the primary producing units in a market economy.
• An entrepreneur is a person who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a firm, taking a new idea or a new product and turning it into a successful business.
• Households are the consuming units in an economy.

Input Markets and Output Markets:The Circular Flow
• Product or output markets are the markets in which goods and services are exchanged.
• Input markets are the markets in which resources—labor, capital, and land—used to produce products, are exchanged.

Demand in Product/Output Markets
• The price of the product in question.
• The income available to the household.
• A household’s decision about the quantity of a particular output to demand depends on:

Changes in Quantity Demanded Versus Changes in Demand
• We use the ceteris paribus or “all else equal” device, to examine the relationship between the quantity demanded of a good per period of time and the price of that good, while holding income, wealth, other prices, tastes, and expectations constant.

Price and Quantity Demanded:The Law of Demand
• A demand scheduleis a table showing how much of a given product a household would be willing to buy at different prices.
• Demand curves are usually derived from demand schedules.

Price and Quantity Demanded:The Law of Demand
• The law of demandstates that there is a negative, or inverse, relationship between price and the quantity of a good demanded and its price.
• This means that demand curves slope downward.

Other Determinantsof Household Demand
• Income is the sum of all households wages, salaries, profits, interest payments, rents, and other forms of earnings in a given period of time. It is a flow measure.
• Wealth, or net worth, is the total value of what a household owns minus what it owes. It is a stockmeasure.

Other Determinantsof Household Demand
• Normal Goods are goods for which demand goes up when income is higher and for which demand goes down when income is lower.
• Inferior Goods are goods for which demand falls when income rises.

Other Determinantsof Household Demand
• Substitutes are goods that can serve as replacements for one another; when the price of one increases, demand for the other goes up.
• Perfect substitutes are identical products.

Shift of Demand VersusMovement Along a Demand Curve
• A change in demand is not the same as a change in quantity demanded.
• A higher price causes lower quantity demanded and a move along the demand curve DA.
• Changes in determinants of demand, other than price, cause a change in demand, or a shift of the entire demand curve, from DA to DB.

From HouseholdDemand to Market Demand
• Demand for a good or service can be defined for an individual household, or for a group of households that make up a market.
• Market demand is the sum of all the quantities of a good or service demanded per period by all the households buying in the market for that good or service.

Price and Quantity Supplied:The Law of Supply
• The law of supplystates that there is a positive relationship between price and quantity of a good supplied.
• This means that supply curves typically have a positive slope.

Other Determinants of Supply
• The price of the good or service.
• The cost of producing the good, which in turn depends on:
• The price of required inputs(labor, capital, and land),
• The technologies that can be used to produce the product,
• The prices of related products.

• In this example, since the factor affecting supply is not the price of soybeans but a technological change in soybean production, there is a shift of the supply curve rather than a movement along the supply curve.
• The technological advance means that more output can be supplied for at any given price level.

From IndividualSupply to Market Supply
• The supply of a good or service can be defined for an individual firm, or for a group of firms that make up a market or an industry.
• Market supply is the sum of all the quantities of a good or service supplied per period by all the firms selling in the market for that good or service.

Market Equilibrium
• Market equilibrium is the condition that exists when quantity supplied and quantity demanded are equal.
• At equilibrium, there is no tendency for the market price to change.

Excess Demand
• Excess demand, or shortage, is the condition that exists when quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied at the current price.
• When quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied, price tends to rise until equilibrium is restored.

• Higher supply leads to lower equilibrium price and higher equilibrium quantity.
