Consumer’s Psychological pattern

Substitution effect
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:
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
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
Veblen Effect
Snob appeal of luxury goods leads to the Veblen effect
of demand through conspicuous consumption.
