At any given price, the corresponding value on the demand schedule is the sum of all consumers’ quantities demanded at that price. Generally, there is an inverse relationship between the price and the quantity demanded. [1] [2] The graphical representation of a demand schedule is called a demand curve. An example of a market demand schedule
A demand curve is a graph depicting the inverse demand function, [1] a relationship between the price of a certain commodity (the y-axis) and the quantity of that commodity that is demanded at that price (the x-axis).
Some sources argue identifying any such patterns as a "cycle" is a misnomer, because of their non-cyclical nature. [1] Economists using efficient-market hypothesis say that asset prices reflect all available information meaning that it is impossible to systematically beat the market by taking advantage of such cycles.
If the demand curve is steeper than the supply curve, then the fluctuations increase in magnitude with each cycle, so that prices and quantities spiral outwards. This is called the unstable or divergent case. Two other possibilities are: Fluctuations may also maintain a constant magnitude, so a plot of the outcomes would produce a simple rectangle.
Takt time, or simply takt, is a manufacturing term to describe the required product assembly duration that is needed to match the demand.Often confused with cycle time, takt time is a tool used to design work and it measures the average time interval between the start of production of one unit and the start of production of the next unit when items are produced sequentially.
The velocity of money provides another perspective on money demand.Given the nominal flow of transactions using money, if the interest rate on alternative financial assets is high, people will not want to hold much money relative to the quantity of their transactions—they try to exchange it fast for goods or other financial assets, and money is said to "burn a hole in their pocket" and ...
The 2000s commodities boom, commodities super cycle [1] or China boom was the rise of many physical commodity prices (such as those of food, oil, metals, chemicals and fuels) during the early 21st century (2000–2014), [2] following the Great Commodities Depression of the 1980s and 1990s.
The law of demand, however, only makes a qualitative statement in the sense that it describes the direction of change in the amount of quantity demanded but not the magnitude of change. The law of demand is represented by a graph called the demand curve, with quantity demanded on the x-axis and price on the y-axis. Demand curves are downward ...
