DEMAND AND SUPPLY:
The law of the demand states that there is an inverse relationship between quantity demanded of any good and the price charged. Obviously, based on the demand curve and data obtained, consumers demand the product at low price; the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded. Ceteris Paribus explains the situation when the quantity of demanded changed by the price of the product itself. (McConnell, Brue and Flynn, 2012).
Simultaneously,
the factors other than the price of the product itself, will affect the
quantity demand. Quantity demanded is moving along the curve when the
quantity demanded is increased by the price of the product itself. The
demand curve will shift along to the right while the quantity demand
increased by the other factors. Price Theory shows the ability and
willingness of consumer to purchase the product at the current market
price. Satisfaction or utility are gained on the consumption goods but
consumers would not obtain all of the satisfaction due to limitation of
consumers' salaries. (McConnell, Brue and Flynn, 2012).
The
graph below shows the quantity of demand decreases to 5 units when
the price of product itself is RM 50 while quantity of demand increases
to 25 units when the price of product itself is RM 10.
