if price increases quantity demanded will go down
law of demand
if price increases then the quantity supplied will increase
law of supply
if P = $4 then this occurs:
[[P,Qd,Qs],[3,140,80],[4,120,90],[5,100,100],[6,80,110],[7,60,120]]
shortage
What does PPC stand for?
Production Possibilities Curve
having a lower opportunity cost for a good gives a producer this 'advantage'
comparative advantage
Slope of demand curve
downward
The expected effect on the market if there were a decrease in the cost of an input.
Increase (right shift) in supply
if P = $6 then this occurs:
[[P,Qd,Qs],[3,140,80],[4,120,90],[5,100,100],[6,80,110],[7,60,120]]
surplus
Concepts represented on a PPC

Who has the comparative advantage in producing pies and cakes?
Pies- David

The numeric (table) representation of a Demand Function
demand schedule
This 'bottom line' is assumed to be the primary motivator to producers.
profit
this price P 'clears the market'

Inside the PPC "curve"
Attainable but inefficient
Larry decides to not go to his bicycle repair job which pays him $15 an hour and decides rather to see a 2 hour movie. He purchases a $15 ticket and a 'bucket' of popcorn for $15. What was Larry's total economic cost for this activity?
$60
The effect of a tax increase in a market
decrease (left shift) in demand
Product A is an input to Product B which is a substitute for Product C.
An increase in the price of Product A has this effect on Product B.
decrease in supply
*shift left*
The change in equilibrium price resulting from an increase in supply and a decrease in demand
decrease
On the "curve"
Efficient
Soccer balls and basketballs are substitutes. An increase in basketball prices would have this effect on the soccer ball market.
increase in demand
Difference between substitute good and complimentary good
-Substitute goods are competitors and have opposite reaction to price changes
-Complimentary goods are used together and have same reaction to price changes.
The spread of a damaging computer virus would have this effect on the power generation market.
decrease in supply
The change in equilibrium quantity resulting from an increase in supply and a decrease in demand
undetermined
Outside the "curve"
unattainable
In a two market economy, a constant opportunity cost will appear as this type of Production Possibility Curve.
