DEMAND
“Demand for a commodity refers to the quantity of the commodity which an individual consumer or a household is willing to purchase per unit of time at a particular price”. Demand for a commodity implies –
a) Desire of the consumer to buy the product,
b) His willingness to buy the product, and
c) Sufficient purchasing power in his pocket to buy the product
There are certain commodities which are generally demanded by individual consumers, e.g., footwear etc. However there are commodities which are demanded by households, like refrigerator etc. When we are dealing with a good demanded by individual, we call it individual demand, while if the good is demanded by household we call it household demand. When we study demand for a commodity by both individuals and households, we call it market or aggregate demand.

    Sports teams are switching to a variable-pricing strategy for tickets so that they can get a higher profit on games with record attendance numbers. They feel the need to do so because the marginal costs, such as construction payment and players’ salaries, did not equal to the marginal revenue, since attendance was severely dropping.

    One cannot think about demand without supply and vice versa. Supply and demand relationships practically balance each other out (Johnson, 2013). Demand is the quantity of goods a buyer needs. There does have to be a distinction between quantity demanded and demand. The quantity demanded is the explicit quantity of a product buyers will pay for at a certain price. Supply is the total amount of a service or product in which a market will offer. As with demand, there is a quantity supplied. Quantity supplied is the sum of a service or product that suppliers are prepared to give at a certain price.…

    According to McConnell, Brue and Flynn (2009) demand is a schedule or a curve that shows the various amount of a product that consumers are willing and able to purchase at each of series of possible prices during a specific period of time (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2009, p. 46). The inverse relationship between price and quality demanded is the quantities of a product that will be purchased at various possible prices (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2009). An important concept of demand is when prices fall, the quantity demanded rises and as the price increases, the quantity demanded falls. Determinants of demand are (1) consumers’ tastes (preferences), (2) the number of buyers in the market, (3) consumers’ incomes, (4) the prices of related goods, and (5) consumer expectations they change the shift of the demand curve.…
