Demand - Economics Unit 1

Demand Curve 
  • If price goes down, demand goes up and vice versa.
  • A change is the price of the product is a movement along the curve from £0.50 to £0.20 shown in the change in demand from 100 to 400.
  • Total revenue is PxQ. In example, the total revenue when the price is at £0.50 would be £50 and the total revenue when the price is £0.20 is £80
  • When you move along the curve it is either an extension (price fall and extension in demand) or a contraction (price rise and fall in contraction in demand). 
What can cause a shift in demand?
  • advertising
  • branding
  • public relations good or bad
  • population growth
  • tastes/preferences
  • tax
  • income
  • a change in the price of substitutes (pork or lamb) or change in price of complement (port and apple sauce)
