demand
TRANSCRIPT
DEMAND The quantity of goods or services desired by an individual, backed by the ability and willingness to pay.
Type of demandIndividual and market demandTotal Market and Market Segment DemandIndustry Demand and Company DemandDerived Demand and Direct DemandDemand for Durable and Non-Durable goodsShort-Term and Long term Demand
Individual and market demand
It is based on an individual’s personal taste, income and price of the commodity.
It decides the market strategy for the sales of any commodity, like It’s price business policy and planning.
Total Market and Market Segment DemandThe total market aggregates on the basis of geographical areas, price sensitivities ,sub product, product uses , distribution channels, customer size, genders etc.
Market segment demand differs on the basis of profit margins, seasonal pattern and market compaction.
Industry Demand and Company Demand
Industry demand refers to the total demand for the product of a industry.
Company demand refers to the demand for the particular company which is a part of industry.
Derived Demand and Direct Demand When the demand for an output is associated with the demand for another output, it is called derived demand.
When the demand for an output of commodity is independent of the demand for other product, it is called direct demand.
Demand for Durable and Non-Durable goods Durable goods are the goods which can be used time and again for a consideration period of time. Ex- machinery
Non- Durable goods are the goods which are used up in a single act of consumption. It include all types of services food stuff, raw material etc.
Note- Non-durable goods have more demand than durable goods.
Short-Term and Long-Term DemandShort- term demand refers to the demand for such goods as are demanded over a short period.Ex- C.R.T. T.V.
Long term demand refers to the demand which exists over a long period.Ex-books

Factors Affecting Demand
Demand function explains the relationship between the demand for a commodity and the factors determining demand.
Demand Function
The equation shows that demand for commodity X(DX), is the function of (f) Price of commodity X(PX); Price of related goods (Pr); Income of consumer (Y), Taste of consumer (T); Advertisement effect (A); and unknown variables (U).
Elasticity of DemandThe ratio of the change in the demand of commodity to the change in it’s price.
Elasticity Of Demand = percentage change in quantity demanded percentage change in determinant of demand
Types of Elasticity of Demand Elastic DemandInelastic DemandPerfectly Elastic DemandPerfectly Inelastic DemandUnit Elasticity
Elastic Demand
Elasticity > 1; Elastic demand
Elasticity is greater than one when the % change in quantity demanded is greater than the % change in price.
Inelastic DemandElasticity is less than one when the % change in the quantity demanded is less than the % change in price.
Elasticity < 1; Inelastic demand
Perfectly Elastic DemandElasticity is infinite when the % change in price is very less or zero.
Elasticity = ∞; Perfectly elastic demand
Perfectly Inelastic DemandThe changes in price do not affect the quantity demand of commodity. So the elasticity is zero
Elasticity = 0; Perfectly Inelastic demand
Unit ElasticityElasticity is one, or unit elasticity if the percentage changes in quantity demanded is equal to the percentage change in price.
Elasticity = 1; Unitary Elastic demand
Measurement of Price Elasticity
Price elasticity of demand is generally defined as the responsiveness of demand for a commodity to the changes in its price.
Where: - Q= Original Quantity Demanded. P = Original Price Q = Change in quantity demanded P = change in price.
Income Elasticity = % change in purchases of a goods % change in income
Income Elasticity of DemandThe income elasticity of demand may be defined as the ratio of the % change in purchases of a good to a % change in income.
q= Change in quantity Purchased. q= Initial quantity purchased. Y = initial income. Y= small change in income.
