demand and supply on businesses and customers. In this presentation we will explore
the intricate dynamics between demand and supply in the business world and how it
impacts both businesses and customers.
● Demand refers to the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing
and able to purchase at a given price and time.
● Factors such as consumer preferences, income levels, and population size
influence demand.
● By analyzing demand patterns, we gain insights into consumer behavior and
market trends.
● Supply refers to the quantity of a good or service that producers are willing and
able to offer at different price levels. (Supply is the total amount of a good or
service available for consumption)
● (Production Costs- is the total price paid for the resources used to manufacture a
product or create a service.)
● (Technological advancement- how advance the technology that you are using to
produce and keep up with the demand; the more advance your technology is
using the more supply you can produce at a small amount of time.)
Higher prices cause supply to increase while demand drops. Lower prices boost
demand while limiting supply.
CAUSES
● SUPPLY SHIFTERS- Variables that affect the position of the supply curve. They
include the prices of inputs, the level of technology, the number of firms in the
market, and producer expectations. Whenever one or more of these variables
changes, the position of the entire supply curve shifts. Such a shift is known as a
change in supply.
● Similarly, supply is influenced by factors like production costs, availability of
resources, technology, government regulations(), and competitor actions. These
factors shape the ability of businesses to provide goods and services to meet the
demand.
● Tariffs are taxes imposed on imported goods and services. They are designed to
protect domestic industries and regulate international trade. Tariffs can be
specific or ad valorem, and they affect the cost and availability of imported
goods. By altering the price dynamics, tariffs influence both supply and demand
in the market.
● On the side of Demand shifters
Tariffs influence consumer behavior by altering the price and availability of imported
goods. Higher prices may reduce demand for imported goods, as consumers seek more
affordable alternatives. However, tariffs can also stimulate demand for domestic goods,
as they become relatively cheaper compared to imports.
