market square
|
A market square is a type of marketplace located near the center of town (sometimes near a town hall). For hundreds of years, people have been coming to market squares to sell goods, such as fruits and meats. Today, you can see market squares in many American cities.

|
farmers' market
|
A farmers' market is also a kind of market found throughout the country. This market is a wide-open space where farmers come to sell their produce to consumers. Buying goods from a farmers' market supports the local economy because the produce sold (fruits and vegetables) are grown nearby. When a consumer buys these goods, the money is transferred from the buyer to the seller. The seller is someone from the community (or nearby) who can then use this money to buy other goods and services within the local community.

Stock markets
|
Stock markets are found around the world. These markets are places where stocks and shares, or ownerships in a company, are bought and sold. Bonds, which are used by governments and corporations to borrow money, are also traded on stock markets. The most popular markets that trade stocks and bonds include the New York Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (known as NASDAQ—this was the world's first major electronic stock exchange, also located in New York), the London Stock Exchange, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange. You may have noticed that most of these markets have the word "exchange" in them. An exchange is another word for a marketplace and refers to a market where buyers and sellers work out an agreed-upon price for an item.

Currency, or money, is also bought and sold in markets called Forex exchanges. You are already familiar with the U.S. dollar. But, this is just one kind of currency. In fact, there are more than 150 different currencies in the world. The Foreign Exchange, or Forex, allows for currency trading around the world, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. This exchange trades 3.2 trillion dollars a day!

In this lesson, you've explored the demand for goods and services, in which consumers are both willing and able to buy products. You also learned that price and quantity demanded move in opposite directions. For example:
If the price of cell phones decreases, then people demand more cell phones. If the price of cell phones increases, then people demand fewer cell phones. This is the law of downward-sloping demand. Finally, you learned how the relationship between price and quantity demanded are shown in a demand schedule. In this problem set, you'll be asked to answer questions on these topics. |

•Lower prices for a good or service provide incentives (such as losing money) for producers to make or sell less of the product. |
|
NOTES
|
In this lesson, you've explored the world of supply, or the amount of a good or service that producers make and sell in the market. You learned about the factors that determine quantity supplied, such as the costs of production. Specifically, you looked at marginal cost, or the expense of making an extra good. Producers compare this cost to the marginal revenue, or money earned from making an extra good, to determine supply.
You also learned that supply and price move in the same direction: •High prices for a good or service provide incentives (such as higher profits) for producers to make and sell more of the product. •Lower prices for a good or service provide incentives (such as losing money) for producers to make or sell less of the product. Finally, you learned how to show the relationship between price and supply on supply schedules and supply graphs. In this problem set, you'll be asked to answer questions on these topics. |

In this lesson, you've learned about factors that influence supply. You know that supply is affected by a product's price: higher prices increase the supply of a product. You also learned about other factors that can change the supply of goods and services, such as changes in:
•Production Costs: Cars cost more to make Supply of cars decreases Cell phones cost less to make Supply of cell phones increases •Prices of Production Substitutes: Price of wheat increases Supply of corn decreases •Number of Sellers: More clothes stores open Supply of clothes increases Several grocery stores close Supply of food decreases You also learned about other factors, such as regulations, that can affect the supply of goods and services. Finally, you took a look at how shifts in the supply curve look on a graph. In this problem set, you'll be asked to answer questions on these topics. |

In 2 or 3 sentences, explain why putting the demand and supply schedules together can help you to see what price and quantities will be demanded and supplied in the marketplace.
|
Looking at supply and demand together, you can see how many shoes will be both supplied and demanded at each price level. The producer can also choose a price that will allow consumers to buy the shoes—and at which he can make a profit
|
|
NOTES
|
In this lesson, you've explored what happens when supply and demand interact in the marketplace. You learned how consumers and producers respond to market signals. For example, suppose that a shoe producer charges a very high price for a new pair of shoes. If consumers respond by not demanding any shoes, then producers receive a signal to lower the price (or not sell the shoes).
You also learned how quantity supplied and quantity demanded at different price levels can be seen on a supply-and-demand schedule. On this schedule, you looked at the lowest price (where demand is greatest and supply is least) and at the highest price (where demand is least and supply is greatest). Finally, you learned how changes in supply and demand affect the quantities and prices of goods and services in the marketplace. In this problem set, you'll be asked to answer questions on these topics. |

Supply or Demand Change Effect on Equilibrium Price Effect on Quantity Both Supplied and Demanded

|
As you know, demand can change in the real world, too. Shifts in the demand curve can result from:
|
•changes in preferences or income;
•changes in the prices or related goods or services; •changes in the number of consumers in the market. |
|
NOTES
|
In this lesson, you've explored the equilibrium price of goods and services, which is the price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded. Using a supply and demand schedule, you learned that there is excess demand at prices less than the equilibrium price. There is also excess supply at prices greater than the equilibrium price. Only at the equilibrium price is there no excess demand or excess supply.
You also learned how to locate an equilibrium point on a graph. This point is found at the intersection of the supply curve and the demand curve. It represents the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity for a specific market. Finally, you took a look at how equilibrium points change in response to changes in supply or demand. For example, an increase in the supply of shoes decreases the equilibrium price for shoes and increases the equilibrium supply of shoes. In this problem set, you'll be asked to answer questions on these topics. |

|
It is a minimum price for a good. This price is set above the equilibrium price. At this price, sellers are willing to supply more goods than consumers demand. Sometimes, businesses impose price floors. Other times, the government imposes price floors
|
|
NOTES
|
In this lesson, you've explored what happens when goods and services are sold for more or less than their equilibrium prices:
•Shortages are created when prices are below the equilibrium price. •Surpluses are created when prices are above the equilibrium price. You learned about price controls called price floors and price ceilings, which distort price signals and incentives of producers and consumers. You also learned about some real-life price controls, such as: •Price floors, including farming price controls, which set prices above the equilibrium level and cause surpluses. •Price ceilings, including rent and gasoline price controls, which set prices below the equilibrium level and cause shortages. Finally, you learned that price controls keep the market from charging equilibrium prices and from being efficient. In this problem set, you'll be asked to answer questions on these topics. |
