Supply,Demand and Market Equilibrium

In class students first reviewed the downward sloping demand curve and demand schedule.  Students must be able to differentiate a movement along the demand curve vs. a shift in demand. 

Afterwards, students were introduced to the supply schedule and the upward sloping supply curve.  Like the demand curve, students must differentiate between movements along the curve and a shift in supply.  Shifts or changes in supply are as follows:

1.  Changes in input prices
*2.  Changes in related goods (substitutes/compliments in production)
3. Changes in technology
4.  Changes in expectations
5.  Changes in number of producers


**We will discuss #2. changes in related goods in greater detail next class.

The notes are attached and the homework is listed below.
