Introduction WebQuest
Introduction
Why is it unlikely that you will find many boat dealers in a desert? Or many advertising agencies in a rural area? Before a business sets up shop, it researches the potential demand for its product. If consumers don't have the desire, ability, or willingness to buy the product, the business will not succeed.
How many hours do you spend studying every night? How many hours would you study if you were paid $1 an hour? $10 an hour? If you would study more for a higher price, you are following the law of supply, which states that the quantity supplied varies directly with the price.
When we study markets, we often use the tools of supply and demand to show how the equilibrium price and quantity of output are determined. When we study the economy as a whole, we use the concepts of supply and demand in much the same way.
This lesson on Microeconomics and Macroeconomics will help you to understand the concepts stated above.
Task
Upon completion of this Web Quest, you should be able to:
1. | Explain the meaning and concept of demand and supply. |
2. | Explain the purpose of a demand schedule. |
3. | Illustrate the concept of demand in the form of a graph. |
4. | Explain the difference between the supply schedule and the supply curve. |
5. | Explain what is meant by a change in quantity supplied. |
6. | Specify the reasons for changes in supply. |
7. | Explain the concept of aggregate supply. |
8. | Describe the importance of aggregate demand. |
Process

CONCLUSION
In a market economy, your opinions count when you cast your dollar"votes" for the goods and services you like best. You express your demand for a product when you are willing and able to purchase it. When someone is willing to pay for a product---the higher the pay, the more youare willing to supply. Supply is the amount of production. When the supply satisfies the demand, the situation is called the equilibrium, and variables such as price and quantity will remain unchanged unless something happens to disturb the system.Introduction WebQuest
