Opportunity Cost and Price
 Economic actions arise from
scarcity, wants in excess of available
resources.
 Scarcity implies choices.
 Choices are influenced by
opportunity costs through
substitution.

Opportunity Cost and
Relative Price
 The ratio of one price to another is
called a relative price.
 A relative price is an opportunity
cost.
 We often measure prices relative to a
price index, the average price of a
basket of goods.

Demand, Supply and
Relative Prices
 Demand and supply determine relative prices.
 The word “price” means relative price.
 If we predict a price will fall, we mean its price will
fall relative to the average price of other goods
and services.
 All movements in price in the market analysis
that we examine refers to relative price
movements.
 Relative Price is not “Money” Price.

Demand
 If a person demands something, they
– Want it,
– Can afford it, and

 Demand Curve and Demand
Schedule
–
Demand curves show the relationship between
the quantity demanded of a good and its price
(ceteris paribus).
–
Demand schedules list the quantities demanded
at each different price (ceteris paribus).

 A Change in Demand
–
ECON

HOFFMAN
MACRO HAPPENS
When any factor that influences buying plans
other than the price of the good changes, there
is a change in demand.
•
•
An increase in demand causes the demand curve to
shift rightward.
A decrease in demand causes the demand curve to
shift leftward.

A Change in Demand
 Price of Related Goods
–
–
Substitutes - goods used in the place of another
good
Complements - goods used in conjunction with
another good
What Happens to Demand if the price
of a substitute good increases? A
complement?
A Change in Demand
 Income

–
Normal Goods — demand increases as income
increases
Inferior Goods — demand decreases as income

A Change in the Quantity Demanded
Versus a Change in Demand
 A movement along a demand curve,
which results from a change in price,
shows a change in the quantity
demanded.
 If some other influence on buyers’
plans changes, holding price
constant, there is a change in
