  • as the price of a good increases, the quantity supplied increases
    law of supply
  • supply refers to the ___
    willingness to sell
  • He credited with attempting to apply rigorous mathematics to economies to turn economies into more of a science than a philosphy
    • published the "Economics of Industry"
    Alfred Marshall
  • A supply curve is always __ sloping and reflect a _ correlation between quantity supplied and price
    upward; direct
  • what will happen if the supply curve shifts to the right?
    it will increase the overall supply curve
  • What will happen if the supply curve shifts to the left?
    it will decrease in the overall supply curve
  • What will happen if there is a rightward movement shift ALONG, ON, WITHIN the supply curve?
    it will increase in the QS
  • What will happen if there is a leftward movement shift ALONG, ON, WITHIN the supply curve?
    it will decrease in the QS only
  • arises when a volume of product or service in a marketplace has been maximized.
    Market Saturation
  • in a free market, there will be a single price that brings demand and supply into balance, also called the "Market Clearing Price"
    Equilibrium
  • if the price exceeds the equilibrium price
    surplus
  • if the price is below the equilibrium price
    shortage
  • it prevents a price from falling below a certain level. legally mandated minimum price
    Price Floor
  • it prevents a price from rising above a certain level. Legally mandated maximum price
    Price ceiling
  • Shifts in Equilibrium (SUPPLY)
    • if the demand increases, what will happen to EP and QS?
    both EP and QS increases
  • Shifts in Equilibrium (SUPPLY)
    • if the demand decreases, what will happen to EP and QS?
    both EP and QS decreases
  • Shifts in Equilibrium (DEMAND)
    • if the supply increases, what will happen to EP and QD?
    The EP decreases and the QD increases
  • Shifts in Equilibrium (DEMAND)
    • if the supply decreases, what will happen to EP and QD?
    The EP will increases and the QD decreases
  • they can increase the output without a significant cost or delay
    Elastic Supply (PES >1)
  • suppliers are very unresponsive to the increase of price
    Inelastic Supply (PED<1)
  • when the percentage change in QS is equal to the percentage change in Price
    Unitary Elastic Supply (PES = 1)
  • increase in the demand can be met without change in price
    Perfectly elastic supply (PES = ∞ )
  • the supply is fixed and cannot respond to a change in demand
    Perfectly inelastic supply (PES = 0)
  • Midpoint method for Elasticity
    • Assume that an apartment rents for Php 650 per month and, at that price, 10,000 units are rented. When the price increases to Php 700 monthly, 13,000 units are supplied into the market. By what percentage does apartment supply increase? What is the price elasticity
    |MP| = 3.5 Elastic
  • the transformation of resources (or inputs) into commodities (or outputs)
    Production
  • _ are economic resources that can be used to produce goods and services, while _ are the outcomes of the production process
    Inputs; Outputs
  • refers to the period of time over which the amount of some inputs, ‘fixed inputs’ ‘variable inputs’ – production is constant
    Short-run
  • refers as the time period during which all factors of production can be varied. All the factors are variable in the __
    Long-run
  • a direct payment with monetary value made while running a business. (e.g., Salaries, Rent, Utilities, Raw Materials, Taxes)
    Explicit Costs
  • a.k.a. Economic Costs are costs equal to what a firm must give up to achieve something in return. These are not recorded, nor do they have a specific reciprocal when used.
    Implicit Costs
  • costs directly involved in developing, manufacturing, or releasing products to market
    direct costs
  • costs that are not directly related to a specific cost object like a function, product, or department. They are costs that are needed for the sake of the company’s operations and health
    Indirect costs
  • Occurs when a firm has an economic profit less than zero. This is where the firm is not earning enough to cover opportunity costs; resources could have higher returns somewhere els
    Economic Loss
  • This means that the firm can also cover more than its opportunity cost
    Pure/Positive Economic Profit
  • Revenue minus all explicit and implicit costs results in a breakeven.
    Zero Economic Profit
  • minimum profit necessary to keep a firm in operation
    Normal Profit
  • ceteris paribus, if one factor of production is increased while other factors are held constant, the marginal output per unit will eventually diminish
    The Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns
  • Curves that represent different combinations of the two variable inputs that can produce the same level of output. It represents a specific level of output
    Isoquants
  • measures the rate at which one input can be substituted for the other while keeping output constant. It is the slope of the isoquant curve and represents the trade-off between the two inputs.
    Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS)
  • "Iso" means _; "Quant" is short for _
    same; quantity
