Business Economics and it's concepts

Law of demand:

Law of demand states that when a price of a commodity rises the demand for it decreases and vice versa.

Ex: When i went to buy a gold necklace,i found the price has increased and thus, the demand for necklace went down.

Law of supply:

Law of supply states that as the price of a commodity rises the supply also rises and vice versa.
Ex : During winter when the price of rosogolla increases, the supply also increases.

Law of diminishing marginal utility:
The more we consume one particular product at a given time the satisfaction derived from one additional unit of consumption decreases.

Ex:During summer after reaching home i had one ice cream and then another but after having 2 ice creams my satisfaction derived from consuming ice cream started decreasing.

Tastes and preferences :

Tastes and preferences causes shift in demand curve.

Ex: During winter i prefer to have hot coffee to cold coffee, on other words my preference from cold coffee shifts to hot coffee.
