Law of Demand in English

Law of Demand and its Application

Definition of Demand:

“Demand is the quantity of the good which a consumer is willing to buy at the specific price in the given or proper time”

There are two basic elements or condition for demand:

Will to purchase.

Power to purchase.

 Definition:

“Demand is the relationship between price of a good and its demand. The law explains that when the price of a good increases, the quantity of its demand will decrease and on the other hand if price decreases, its quantity demanded will increase with no change in other goods”

EXPALINATION OF TABLE

 The table on side explains the law of Demand. There are two columns in the table, right one for demand and the left for price data.

We see that when the price of a good (say a toffee), is Rs:10, the demand for the good is 100 units. When price decreases to Rs.8, its demand increases to 150 units. The price of the good continue to decrease & reaches at Rs.2 and demand for it goes to 300 units increasingly.

It proves that if price decreases the demand for that will increase and if price increase the demand for that good decrease.

 

                                 

EXPALINATION OF GRAPH

 The graph on side explains the law of Demand. The prices of the good is measured on y- axis and quantity of demand is measured on x-axis.

We may see that the demand curve DD is a negative sloped verve which goes from left to right downwards and indicates the price of the good is decreasing and the demand for the good is increasing at the same time without any pause or break.  

The price of the good decreases from Rs.10 to Rs.2 and demand for it reaches at 300 units from 100 units in the specific time proving that the price of and demand for the good acts inversely.

Assumptions / Conditions of the law:

When assigning any law and applying this law, certain assumptions have to be made. In the same way, some basic conditions have also been laid down for the validity of the law of demand. ۔ All of these conditions are assumed to be static when describing the law of the law.
