Determine if the following products are elastic
or inelastic:
1. A goods changes its price from $4.50 to
$5.85 and the demand for the good goes
down 13%.
2. A goods price goes down 26% and the
amount of the good demanded goes from 32
to 47.
3. Consumers demand for a product goes
from 58 units bought to 73 units bought
when the store lowered the price from $186
to $150.
Drill Answer
1. A goods changes its price from $4.50 to
$5.85 and the demand for the good goes
down 13%.
Percent change in price
$5.85 - $4.50 = $1.35
$1.35 ÷ $4.50 =.3
.3 x 100 = 30
Calculating elasticity
13 ÷ 30 = .43
The good is inelastic.
Drill Answer
2. A goods price goes down 26% and
the amount of the good demanded
goes from 32 to 47.
Percent change in demand
47 - 32 = 15
15 ÷ 32 = .47
.47 x 100 = 47
Calculating elasticity
47 ÷ 26 = 1.807
The good is elastic.
Drill Answer
3. Consumers demand for a product goes
from 58 units bought to 73 units bought
when the store lowered the price from $186
to $150.
Percent change
in price
$186 - $150 = $36
36 ÷ 186 = .194
.196 x 100 = 19.6
Percent change
in demand
73 – 58 = 15
15 ÷ 58 = .258
.258 x 100 = 25.8
Calculating elasticity
25.8 ÷ 19.6 = 1.32
The good is elastic.
1. What is a supply schedule?
2. What is the law of supply?
3.What causes supply to change?
The Law of Supply
The Law of Supply = the higher the
price, the larger quantity produced and
the lower the price, the smaller quantity
produced


Higher Production – existing firms produce
more to gain a greater profit
Market entry – new firms will enter the
market because of the greater profitability
of the good
Supply Schedule
Supply schedule = a table that lists the
quantity of a good that a producer will
supply at each price in the market

Market supply schedule = shows the
quantities supplied by all producers in the
market

Costs of Production
Labor and Output
Labor costs money so each worker must
be worth the money that is paid


Producers measure the marginal product of
labor
The change in output from hiring one or
more workers

1. What is the law of supply?
2. What type of relationship is the law
of supply?
3. What is a supply schedule?
Marginal Product of Labor
Worker 1
Output 4 beanbags per hour
MPL = 4
Worker 2
Output 10 beanbags per hour
MPL = 6
Worker 3
Output 17 beanbags per hour
MPL = 7
Increasing Marginal returns – A level of production in which the
marginal product of labor increases as the number of workers
increases.
1) The Law of Supply = the higher the price,
the larger quantity produced and the lower
the price, the smaller quantity produced
2) Direct Relationship
3) Supply schedule = a table that lists the
quantity of a good that a producer will supply
at each price in the market
Marginal Product of Labor
Worker 1
Output 4 beanbags per hour
MPL = 4
Worker 2
Output 10 beanbags per hour
MPL = 6
Worker 3
Output 17 beanbags per hour
MPL = 7
Worker 4
Output 23 beanbags per hour
MPL = 6
Worker 5
Output 28 beanbags per hour
MPL = 5
Worker 6
Output 31 beanbags per hour
MPL = 3
Diminishing Marginal Returns – A level of production in which the
marginal product of labor decreases as the number of workers
increase.

Output 4 beanbags per hour

Worker 2
Output 10 beanbags per hour

RETURN
Production Costs
Fixed Costs

A cost that does not change, no matter how much
of a good is produced
Variable Cost

A cost that rises or falls depending on how much
of a product is produced
Total costs = fixed costs + variable costs
Marginal cost

The cost of producing one more unit of a good
Changes in Supply
Input Costs
A rise in the cost of the factors of production
will result in a rise in costs as a whole for the
firm so they will cut production

Shift to the left
Advances in technology can lower production
costs causing an increase in production

Shift to the right
Setting Output
Producers look for the optimum amount
of output to maximize their profit

Not necessarily the most output
The optimum output is found when
marginal costs equal the market price.
Government’s Influence on
Supply
Subsidies = government payment that
supports a business or market
Excise taxes = a tax on the production
of a good for each unit
Regulation = government intervention
in a market that affects price, quantity,
or quality of a good
Other Factors
Supply in the global economy
Future expectations of prices
Number of Suppliers
What happens when you are producing
to a point where your marginal costs
equal the marginal revenue (market
price) but the factory is still losing
money?


SHUT DOWN
If the total revenue is greater than the cost
of keeping it open (variable costs) do not
shut down
Understanding Supply
Supply = the amount of goods
available
