CHAPTER-4: INDIVIDUAL

AND MARKET DEMAND


MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS (BUS-525)

COURSE CONVENER:
DR. TAMGID AHMED CHOWDHURY
CHAPTER OUTLINE
 We will learn about:
 Individual demand and derivation of demand curve by

Economics for Managers


using IC approach
 Price effect, income effect and substitution effect for
normal, inferior and giffen goods
 Impact of tax on socially desirable consequences

 Market demand curve from individual demand schedule

 Consumer and producer surplus analysis

PRICE CHANGE AND
INDIVIDUAL DEMAND CURVE
 Effect of price change:
When price of one
product decreases, that

Economics for Managers


will rotate the budget
line, hence the demand
curve of the product can
be drawn.
 Price consumption curve:
curve tracking the utility
maximizing
combinations.
3
INCOME CHANGE AND
CONSUMER’S RESPONSE
 If income increases
with price constant,
the consumers will

Economics for Managers


demand more of a
normal product

4
INCOME AND SUBSTITUTION EFFECT
 When price of a product declines, it has two important
effects

Economics for Managers


1) People can get that product at a cheaper price thus the
ability or purchasing power rises
2) People may not increase the consumption of the
product to maximum thus there is an income gain.

5
PRICE, INCOME AND SUBSTITUTION
EFFECT: NORMAL GOODS
 Substitution effect: It shows
the change in consumption
of a product (whose price

Economics for Managers


has changed) while keeping
the utility constant. For
example, even if the
consumer can consume F1F2
extra, they will actually
consume F2E. Thus EF2 is
income gain.

6
INCOME AND SUBSTITUTION EFFECT
FROM INFERIOR GOODS

 For inferior
goods, income

effect is always
negative as can
be seen in the
diagram.

7
TRY YOURSELF: THE CASE OF GIFFEN
GOOD

Economics for Managers


 For giffen goods, price effect is positive which means
traditional demand rule is not applicable.

8
Cash vs. a Price Subsidy: Lessons

 A cash transfer and an equal-cost price subsidy have the same


income effect, but the price subsidy also has a price effect.

 It follows that
 the cash transfer leads to higher utility, and
 the price subsidy leads to more consumption of the
subsidized good.

TAX ON GASOLINE FOR SOCIAL CAUSE

 Tax on gasoline has been imposed to reduce pollution in


the society. But after that government has given some

15
MARKET DEMAND CURVE
 How to derive market demand curve from the demand of
the individual.

Economics for Managers


 Consumer surplus: It is the difference between what
consumers are willing to pay and what they are actually
paying.
 Producer surplus: It is the difference between the
production cost and the revenue earned.

 Show the change in consumer surplus, producer surplus


and dead weighted loss if a tax is imposed on a product.
 Discuss about the revenue maximization rule of elasticity 16
