LAW
OF DEMAND
According to
law of demand if there is a increase in price of a good then there is a
simultaneous decrease in demand.so price and quantity of demand is inversely
proportional to each other.
Ex: The
normal human behaviour is that if the price of sugar increases then the demand
of sugar decreases there by decreasing the consumption.
LAW
OF SUPPLY
Law of
supply states that if there is a hike in price of a good then the quantity
supply increases. In other words price and the quantity supplied are directly
proportional to each other.in this scenario supplier have the great will to
offer more and more product in the market to sell and gain more and more profit
.
Ex: if the
price of a life saving drug increases then the quantity supply also increases.
OPPORTUNITY COST
The cost
which we give up or sacrifices in order to get something having more value is
called as opportunity cost. We have to choose such type of alternative from
which we can get more benefit.
Ex:if I want
to buy an earphone which is providing me benefit of 140 unit where as the other
one providing me benefit of 180 unit. So the 140 unit which I give up in order
to get the 180 unit of benefit is called as opportunity cost.
TASTE
AND PREFERENCES
Demand od a
good is fully dependent upon the taste and preferences of consumers. Further
taste and preferences may vary from
person to person and group to group. Taste and preferences are time dependent.
One consumer who is liking a particular product this year may not like the same
on the very next year.
Ex: I was
preferring jeans last year but now I am preferring formal pants .as time
changes there may be a change in taste.
PEOPLE FACE TRADE OFF
Every person
face trade off in life . trade off occurs when there are many choices and you
have to select only one among them . so trade off is nothing but the state of
getting confused while choosing any product
and could not finalize which one to purchase and which one to not ,
which one to choose and which to not.
Ex: when
buying a shirt in a mall people face trade-off due to presence of so many
alternatives.
