Supply (definitions + short vs long run) Principle of Diminishing Marginal Utility + Law Changes in Price + income/substitute Shifts in Demand
Shows how many Units a firm would like to sell of diminishing Marginal Product effect Caused by change in factors other than
at any/each possible price Price (e.g. income)
Principle of Diminishing Returns to a Factor: As
more of the variable factor is added to the fixed Extension in Demand shift
factor, output increases at first, due to Demand Left
specialisation, but falls after due to there not
being enough fixed factor to go around
Short-run: Period of time where there is a fixed
factor of production (e.g. land) Contraction
Long-run: No fixed factor of production, all in demand
variable Demand
Consumer Surplus: Difference between what Short-run: firm can only +

Demand Demand Curves Changes in Supply and Exceptions
Effective Demand: Desire for a product
supported by the ability and willingness to pay
Factors affecting Demand: Price, Income,
Fashion, substitute
Principle of Diminishing Marginal Utility: As
we consume more of a product the EXTRA Supply stays same
satisfaction (marginal utility) starts to fall Whatever price is At same price rise,
because your need has already been partly S1 harder to make
met, therefore your willingness to pay also falls.
Demand Curve: Shows the quantity of a
good/service that the consumers wish to
purchase at a given price.
Market Demand Curve: Sum of individual Rationality
demand curves Traditional economics assumes Rationality
Marginal Utility: How many unit(s) consumers Economic Agents Well informed, logical,
are willing to get at every given price. maximisers Unlimited supply
Law of Demand: + price = - demand (vice versa) In reality, NO-ONE Rational No physical limits
