if price increases quantity demanded will go down
law of demand
if price increases then the quantity supplied will increase
law of supply
The point where supply and demand meet; tells us the proper price and quantity to be efficient

What does PPC stand for?
Production Possibilities Curve
The latin phrase that means "All other things being unchanged"
Ceteris Paribus
Slope of demand curve

Price's relationship to Quantity Supplied

(One goes up, so does the other)
The workers who produce batteries go on strike.
Shift in Supply or Demand? Increase or Decrease
Supply Decreases

The numeric (table) representation of a Demand Function
demand schedule
The expected effect on the market if there were a decrease in the cost of an input.
Increase (right shift) in supply
The price of wheat and corn, key resources in the production of cereal decreases.
Supply or Demand, Increase or Decrease, and what is the SHIFTER?
Supply, Increase, Price of RESOURCES
In a two product economy, a CONSTANT opportunity cost will appear as this type of Production Possibility Curve.
Linear
having a lower opportunity cost for a good gives a producer this
comparative advantage
The effect of a personal tax increase in a market (Not a business tax... i.e. People's own individual taxes go up)
decrease (left shift) in demand
(Taxes reduce people's INCOME)
The spread of a damaging computer virus would have this effect on the power generation market.
decrease in supply
If the price of a good is set too high (Either by a price floor or just choices of producers) it will create this situation.
A Surplus of the good
Outside the "curve"
unattainable
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.
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 and quantity resulting from a simultaneous increase in supply AND a decrease in demand
PRICE definitely decrease
Quantity is uncertain

(a) Does France, Italy, or neither nation have a comparative advantage in producing grapes? Explain.
France has a comparative advantage in producing grapes and explains that France’s opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of grapes (0.25 of a bushel of tomatoes) is less than Italy’s opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of grapes (0.5 of a bushel of tomatoes).
[France’s opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of grapes is 0.25 of a bushel of tomatoes (25/100 = 0.25)(25/100 = 0.25) . Italy’s opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of grapes is 0.5 of a bushel of tomatoes (50/100 = 0.5)
