  2. Effect of taxes and subsidies on price - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_taxes_and...

    First, the tax again affects the sellers. The quantity demanded at a given price remains unchanged and therefore the demand curve stays the same. Since the tax is a certain percentage of the price, with increasing price, the tax grows as well. The supply curve shifts upward but the new supply curve is not parallel to the original one.

  3. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The law of demand also works together with the law of supply to determine the efficient allocation of resources in an economy through the equilibrium price and quantity. The relationship between price and quantity demanded holds true so long as it is complied with the ceteris paribus condition "all else remain equal" quantity demanded varies ...

  4. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    The value of the inverse demand function is the highest price that could be charged and still generate the quantity demanded. [3] This is useful because economists typically place price (P) on the vertical axis and quantity (demand, Q) on the horizontal axis in supply-and-demand diagrams, so it is the inverse demand function that depicts the ...

  5. Demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand

    Normally there is an inverse relationship between the price of the commodity and its quantity demanded. It implies that the lower the price of the commodity, the larger is the quantity demanded and the higher the price, the lesser is the quantity demanded. [4] This negative relationship is embodied in the downward slope of the consumer demand ...

  6. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    The constant b is the slope of the demand curve and shows how the price of the good affects the quantity demanded. [6] The graph of the demand curve uses the inverse demand function in which price is expressed as a function of quantity. The standard form of the demand equation can be converted to the inverse equation by solving for P:

  7. Tax incidence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_incidence

    Because the producer is elastic, the producer is very sensitive to price. A small drop in price leads to a large drop in the quantity produced. The imposition of the tax causes the market price to increase from P without tax to P with tax and the quantity demanded to fall from Q without tax to Q with tax. Because the consumer is inelastic, the ...

  8. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    In other words, we can say that the price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in demand for a commodity due to a given percentage change in the price. If the quantity demanded falls 20 tons from an initial 200 tons after the price rises $5 from an initial price of $100, then the quantity demanded has fallen 10% and the price has risen ...

  9. Total revenue test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_revenue_test

    Total revenue, the product price times the quantity of the product demanded, can be represented at an initial point by a rectangle with corners at the following four points on the demand graph: price (P 1), quantity demanded (Q 1), point A on the demand curve, and the origin (the intersection of the price axis and the quantity axis).
