DEMAND ANALYSIS

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 Understand what is effective demand.
 Understand the law of demand.
 Trace the determinants of markets demand for
different products.
 Formulate demand functions for the market’s
products.
 Examine the possible causes of increase and shifts
in demand for the products.
WHAT IS DEMAND?
 Willingness and ability to buy a
commodity X at a specific point of time
is defined as Demand of that
commodity.
What is Effective Demand?

A buyer’s desire for a product in the market backed


by the ability and willing to pay for its price.

Definition of Demand - The demand for a product


refers to the amount of it which will be bought per
unit of time at a particular price.
DETERMINANTS OF DEMAND
 Factors Influencing Individual Demand
• Price
• Income
• Tastes, habits and preferences
• People with different tastes and habits have different
preferences for different goods
• Relative prices of other goods – substitute and
complementary products
• Consumer’s expectation
• Advertisement effect
FACTORS INFLUENCING
MARKET DEMAND
 Price of the product
 Distribution of income and wealth in the community
 Community’s common habits and scale of preferences
 General standards of living and spending habits of the people
 Number of buyers in the market and the growth of population
 Age structure and sex ratio of the population
 Future expectations
 Level of taxation and tax structure
 Inventions and innovations
 Fashions
 Climate or weather conditions
 Customs
 Advertisement and sales propaganda
DEMAND FUNCTION
 Demand function is mathematical
representation of relationship between
demand of a commodity X and all its
determinants.

Dx = f (Px, Ps, Pc, Yd, T, A, N, u)


DEMAND FUNCTION
Mathematical of expression of functional relationship between
determinants (such as price, income, etc., determining variables) and the
amount of demand of a given product.
In composing the demand function for a product, therefore, one should
identify and enlist the most important factors (key variables) which affect
its demand. To suggest a few, such as:
• The ‘own price’ of the product itself (P)
• The price of the substitute and complementary goods (Ps or Pc)
• The level of disposable income (Yd) with the buyers (i.e., income left after
direct taxes)
• Change in the buyers’ taste and preferences (T)
• The advertisement effect measured through the level of advertising
expenditure (A)
• Changes in population number or the number of the buyers (N).

Using the symbolic notations, we may express the demand function, as


follows:
Dx = f (Px, Ps, Pc, Yd, T, A, N, u)
THE ELEMENTARY THEORY OF DEMAND

OR LAW OF DEMAND

 Given other things constant (ceteris


paribus), theory of demand establishes
inverse relationship between quantity
demanded of a commodity X and its
prices.
 In simple word, it explains that an
increase in price of a commodity leads
to decrease in its quantity demanded
and vice versa.
Qdx = f (Px)
ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING
THE LAW OF DEMAND
 No change in consumer’s income
 No change in consumer’s preferences
 No change in the fashion
 No change in the price of related goods
 No expectation of future price changes or shortages
 No change in size, age composition and sex ratio of the population
 No change in the range of goods available to the consumers
 No change in the distribution of income and wealth of the
community
 No change in government policy
 No change in weather conditions
DEMAND SCHEDULE
 Demand schedule is graphical
representation of various levels of quantity
demanded of a commodity corresponding
to various levels of its price.

representation of various levels of
quantity demanded at various levels of
prices.

WHY DEMAND CURVE IS
DOWNWARD SLOPED?
 Consumer’s Psychological pattern
 Income effect
 Substitution effect

Utility Analysis will explain this in more


objective manner.
Example: Raj Kumar & Co., the cabinet-maker has estimated the
following demand function for the steel cabinets produced by them:

Qd = 1,500 - 0.03P + 0.09AE


Where,
Qd = quantity demanded of steel cabinets
P= average price of the steel cabinet
AE = the firm’s advertising expenditure.

All data are on a quarterly basis. The firm currently spends Rs.10,000
per quarter on advertising.
State the demand curve equation for the price-demand relationship. Give
graphical representation assuming price variable values to be Rs.
10,000, Rs. 9,000, Rs. 8,000, Rs. 7,000, and Rs. 6,000.
Solution:
Substituting the value for AE variable in the above equation, we have
simplified price-demand equation as follows:

Qd = 1,500 + 900 – 0.03P

Thus:
P1 = Rs. 10, 000 Q1 = 2,400 – 0.03 × 10,000 = 2,400 – 300 = 2,100
P2 = Rs. 9, 000 Q2 = 2,400 – 0.03 × 9,000 = 2,400 – 270 = 2,130
P3 = Rs. 8, 000 Q3 = 2,400 – 0.03 × 8,000 = 2,400 – 240 = 2,160
P4 = Rs. 7, 000 Q4 = 2,400 – 0.03 × 7,000 = 2,400 – 210 = 2,190
P5 = Rs. 6, 000 Q5 = 2,400 – 0.03 × 6,000 = 2,400 – 180 = 2,200.

INDIVIDUAL AND MARKET
DEMAND CURVES
 Demand curve of a single consumer is
denoted as individual demand curve.
 Market demand curve is horizontal
summation of individual demand curves
at specific point of time.
 Market demand curve represent the
market demand pattern of specific
commodity.
INDIVIDUAL DEMAND SCHEDULE

 A tabular statement of price/quantity relationship is called


the demand schedule.

MOVEMENT ALONG THE DEMAND
CURVE:
CONTRACTION AND EXTENSION OF
DEMAND
 Decrease in quantity demanded of any
commodity due to increase in its price is
called as contraction of demand.
 Increase in quantity demanded of any
commodity due to decrease in its price
refers to extension of demand.
EXTENSION AND CONTRACTION
OF DEMAND
 The terms ‘extension’ and ‘contraction’ are
technically used in stating the law of demand.

Quantity Demanded
SHIFTS IN DEMAND: INCREASE AND
DECREASE IN DEMAND
 Shift in demand curve results increase or
decrease in demand of the commodity.
 Decrease in quantity demanded of any
commodity due to change in factors other
than price refers to decrease in demand.
INCREASE AND DECREASE IN DEMAND

 An ‘increase’ in demand signifies either that more will be


demanded at a given price or same will be demanded at a
higher price. An increase in demand really means that
more is now demanded than before at each and every
price.
 Likewise, a ‘decrease’ in demand signifies either that less
will be demanded at a given price or the same quantity
will be demanded at the lower price. Decrease in demand
really means that less is now demanded than before at
each and every rise in price. Shifting the demand curves
shows the increase and decrease in demand.
INCREASE IN DEMAND (A) AND DECREASE IN
DEMAND (B)
REASONS FOR CHANGE (INCREASE
OR DECREASE) IN DEMAND
 Changes in income
 Changes in taste, habits and preference
 Change in fashions and customs
 Change in the distribution of wealth
 Change in substitutes
 Change in demand of position complementary goods
 Change in population
 Advertisement and publicity persuasion
 Change in the level of taxation
 Expectation of future changes in prices

Bandwagon Effects

Demonstration effect of consumption by the others lead to the


bandwagon effects of change in demand for a product in the market.
Advertising and fashion play a significant role in this regard .
