🗑
Which price, Absolute Price or Relative Price, is important to buyers and sellers?   show
🗑
show As an individual consumes more of a good the marginal utility of the good will fall.  
🗑
Define "Market Demand."   show
🗑
show It is the specific quantity that will be purchased at a specific price.  
🗑
show False - a change in price will affect Quantity Demanded but it will have no effect on Demand (i.e. Demand Curve). Instead you will simply move along a given demand curve.  
🗑
show By a shift in the demand curve.  
🗑
How would you graphically represent an increase in demand?   show
🗑
show Because at each price the quantity demanded is greater.  
🗑
show The demand curve would shift to the left.  
🗑
show It depend on whether the good is a normal good (superior good), an inferior good or a neutral good.  
🗑
show A good whose demand rises as income rises.  
🗑
What is an inferior good?   show
🗑
What is a neutral good?   show
🗑
What is a substitute for good x?   show
🗑
How will an increase in the price of a substitute affect the demand for good x?   show
🗑
What is a complement for good x?   show
🗑
show The demand for good x will decrease.  
🗑
show The more buyers the greater the market demand.  
🗑
If buyers expect the future price of good x to increase how will this affect the current demand for x?   show
🗑
True or False: "Supply is the amount that sellers wish to sell."   show
🗑
Define "Supply by an individual"   show
🗑
Define the "Law of Supply"   show
🗑
True or False: "Supply, Supply Curve and Supply Schedule all mean the same thing."   show
🗑
Define "Market Supply."   show
🗑
Why is the supply curve upward sloping?   show
🗑
Define "Quantity Supplied."   show
🗑
True or False: "An increase in price will cause an increase in supply."   show
🗑
show By a shift in the supply curve.  
🗑
True or False: "An increase in supply would be represented by a shift up of the supply curve."   show
🗑
show Supply would decrease (shift left or up).  
🗑
show Supply would increase (shift right or down).  
🗑
How will an increase in the number of sellers affect the market supply?   show
🗑
show Supply would decrease (farmers would be less willing to grow beans because of the higher price of corn).  
🗑
show Supply would decrease (sellers would prefer to wait and sell later at the higher expected price).  
🗑
How would a per unit tax on sellers affect supply?   show
🗑
show Supply would increase.  
🗑
show When the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded.  
🗑
show When the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied.  
🗑
show Surplus  
🗑
show The net gain to the buyer from trade. CS = maximum price the buyer is willing to pay - price they actually pay  
🗑
show The net gain to the seller from trade. SS = price the seller actually receives - minimum price they would have accepted.  
🗑
If supply is constant and demand increases, what will happen to price and quantity?   show
🗑
show Price falls and quantity increases.  
🗑
show Both decrease.  
🗑
show Price increases and quantity falls.  
🗑
Define a "Price Ceiling."   show
🗑
show (1) shortages, (2) fewer exchanges, (3) the use of nonprice rationing devices, (4) black market [illegal, off-the-book transactions] trades, (5) tie-in sales [two products are sold together - in this case to circumvent the price ceiling].  
🗑
