Chapter 6

KEY CONCEPT• The equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are

the same.

Chapter 6: Demand, Supply, and Prices

WHY THE CONCEPT MATTERS• In a market economy, the forces of demand and supply work together to set a price that

buyers and sellers find acceptable.

The Interaction of Demand and Supply

EXAMPLE: Market Demand and Supply Schedule• Laws of demand and supply interact in the market• Karen sells salads at her sandwich shop — wants to offer more salads at higher prices to earn more profit — customers not willing to pay higher prices for salads — Karen seeks highest price customers will pay so she can still make profit

The Interaction of Demand and Supply

EXAMPLE: Market Demand and Supply Curve• Vertical axis shows various prices• Horizontal axis shows quantity of product• Combined schedule gives prices, quantities for demand, supply curves • Two curves intersect at point of market equilibrium

Reaching the Equilibrium Price

KEY CONCEPTS• Trial and error may be necessary for market to arrive at equilibrium — Market may have surplus—more quantity supplied than demanded — Market may have shortage—more quantity demanded than supplied

Reaching the Equilibrium Price

EXAMPLE: Surplus, Shortage, and Equilibrium• Surplus, shortage shown above and below point of equilibrium• Surplus, shortage measured by horizontal distance between two curves• With surplus, prices tend to fall; producers cut back production• With shortage, prices rise; producers increase quantity supplied

Reaching the Equilibrium Price

EXAMPLE: Holiday Toys• Marketers sometimes overestimate popularity, others underestimate• Tickle Me Elmo doll introduced for holidays in 1996 — at first sold slowly at $30; seemed stores would have surplus — fad caught on; shortage developed, price went up — by spring, supply doubled; demand decreased, price dropped to $25

Equilibrium Price in Real Life

EXAMPLE: Change in Demand and Equilibrium Price• Decrease in demand at every price shifts demand curve to left — demand curve intersects supply curve at lower price — equilibrium price falls, fewer units sold even though price is lower• With increase in demand, demand curve shifts to right — equilibrium price rises, more units sold even at higher prices

Equilibrium Price in Real Life

EXAMPLE: Change in Supply and Equilibrium Price• If supply at every price decreases, supply curve shifts to left — curves intersect at higher price: equilibrium price rises • If supply increases, supply curve shifts to right — equilibrium price falls as more units available at every price

Section-2

Prices as Signals and Incentives How the Price System Works

KEY CONCEPTS• Competitive pricing—selling products at lower prices than others — lures customers away from rival producers — maintains overall profits by selling more units

How the Price System Works

EXAMPLE: Competitive Pricing • Elm Street Hardware prices snow shovels at $20• Uptown Automotive enters market, sells shovels at $13 — has lower profit margin, but hopes to sell more units• Elm Street must choose to lower price or risk losing customers

How the Price System Works

EXAMPLE: Characteristics of the Price System • Neutral: interaction of consumers, producers sets equilibrium price• Market driven: market forces, not central planners determine prices• Flexible: surpluses, shortages lead producers to change prices • Efficient: prices adjust until maximum number of products sold

Prices Motivate Producers and Consumers

EXAMPLE: Prices and Consumers• Surpluses result in lower prices that motivate consumers to buy — producers signal to consumers through advertising, store displays • High prices usually encourage consumers to buy substitutes — may signal shortage of a product — may signal product has a higher status than others

Intervention in the Price System

Imposing Price Ceilings

KEY CONCEPTS• Government interferes to keep some prices from going too high• Price ceiling—legal maximum price a seller may charge for a product — set below the equilibrium price, so shortage results

Imposing Price Ceilings

EXAMPLE: Football Tickets and Price Ceilings• College sells 30,000 football tickets at $15 — 60,000 fans want tickets• College could resolve shortage by raising price to reach equilibrium• College wants to keep price affordable for students• On game day, some people sell tickets for $50 or more

Imposing Price Ceilings

EXAMPLE: Rent Control as a Price Ceiling• Rent-control laws kept housing affordable for low-income families• Rents did not match market, so shortage of rental housing developed• Landlords unwilling to increase own costs by maintaining properties• City of Santa Monica solution: let market set initial rent — rent control board regulates yearly increases

Setting Price Floors

EXAMPLE: Minimum Wage as a Price Floor• Minimum wage—least amount employer may pay for one hour of work — set by government• If set above equilibrium price for job, employers may employ fewer workers — unemployment increases• If set below equilibrium price, minimum wage has no effect

Case Study: Prices for Concert Tickets {continued}

Thinking Economically1. Do you think TicketMaster’s plan in document C would help or harm Pearl Jam’s wish “that

no one will pay more than $20” to see them (document A)? Explain.2. What do you think happened to quantity supplied of tickets over the span of the graph in

document B? Why?3. In what year in Figure 6.15 did the high price for concert tickets hit $50—the high price that

Pearl Jam speaks of in document A? What year was it $20—the desired price they mention?
