Determinan at of Demand

The document provides a demand worksheet with questions about the determinants of demand and how demand curves shift in response to changes. It asks students to identify whether scenarios result in movement along a demand curve from a change in quantity demanded, or a shift of the demand curve from a change in demand. The worksheet aims to teach students how non-price factors like income, tastes, expectations, and complements/substitutes impact demand as shown by shifts of the demand curve right or left.

DEMAND WORKSHEET

1. The law of demand states- when the price increases, the quantity demanded will ___________.
When the price decreases, the quantity demanded will _______________.

2. If a change in price has an effect on the change in quantity, this is known as (elastic / inelastic) demand. Give a
specific example of this type of demand.

DEMAND WORKSHEET

Exercise 4: Identifying the determinants of demand. You have seen have how an increase in demand is
depicted on a graph by a shift in the demand curve.
 When the demand curve shifts upward and to the right, this is indicative of an increase in demand.
 When the demand curve shifts to the left, this is indicative of a decrease in demand.
 Factors that result in a change in demand are the determinants of demand.

Complete the table below. For each determinant of demand:


 indicate whether demand will increase or decrease;
 provide an explanation as to why.

Determinant of demand Demand Explanation


increases or
decreases?
Population increases

Population decreases

Increase in most peoples’ income

Decrease in most peoples’ income

Price of substitute increases

Price of substitute decreases

Price of complementary good


increases
Price of complimentary good
decreases
Product becomes a popular fad
(change in taste of buyers)
Product now out of fashion
(change in taste of buyers)
There is an expectation that the
price of the product will soon fall
There is a fear that the economy
will go into a recession where
many firms will fail and
unemployment will increase
Movement along the curve or a shift in the demand curve? Complete the table below by indicating
whether each scenario results in a change in the quantity demanded (movement along the demand curve), or
a change in demand (shift in the demand curve). If there is a shift in the demand curve, indicate whether the
curve shifts up or down.

Scenario Movement or shift up or


shift down?
1. There is an outbreak of the flu and sales of latex
gloves skyrocket.
2. A nail salon cuts the price it charges for manicures and
more clients come.
3. A chain of department stores extends the hours that
stores will remain open and total sales for the chain has
increased.
