SUPPLY AND DEMAND

1. In economics the quantity of a commodity that producers wish to sell at various prices is called supply and the quantity of a commodity that consumers wish to buy is called demand. The quantity of a commodity demanded depends on its price, the prices of all other commodities, the incomes of consumers, and their tastes.

2. In economic analysis the last three factors are often held constant; the analysis then involves examining the relationship between various prices and the maximum quantity that would potentially be purchased at each of these prices. These price - quantity combinations may be plotted on a curve, known as a demand curve.

3. The quantity of a commodity that is available in the market depends not only on the price obtainable for the commodity but also on the prices of substitutable products, the and the availability and costs of labour and other factors of production.

4. Analyzing supply we assume that everything but the price is constant in order to observe the relationship between various prices and the quantity potentially offered by suppliers at each price.

5. Market has the function to equate demand and supply through the price mechanism. If buyers wish to purchase more of a commodity than is available at the prevailing price, they will tend to bid the price up. If they which to purchase less tend is available at the prevailing price, suppliers will bid prices down.

6.Thus, there is a tendency toward an equilibrium price, at which the quantity demanded is just equal to the quantity supplied. As the price rises, the quantity offered usually increases, and the willingness of consumers to buy an article normally declines, but these changes are not necessarily proportional. The measure of the responsiveness of supply and demand to changes in price is their elasticity.

7. The demand for the products that have good, readily available substitutes is likely to be elastic, because consumers can easily replace one god with another if its price rises. The demand for a product may be inelastic if there are no close substitutes and if expenditures on the product comprise only a small part of the consumer’s income.
