Market Mechanism refers to a process
through which market forces of demand andsupply interact to determine price and outputof each product and service
System of economic organization featured byprivate ownership and the use of privateprofit of man made and nature made capital
Eg factories , farms owned by private
individual or firms

A market consists of: Buyers (demand)
Sellers (supply)
Exchange
Market is a place or area where goods and services
are bought and sold.
A Market is a mechanism by which buyers andsellers interact to determine the price and
quantity of a good and service.

Demand is :1. Desire for good
2. Backed by ability
3. And willingness to pay
Effective demand = the quantity of a
commodity which consumers will purchaseat a given price per time period

Individual demand can be defined as quantityof a commodity that an individual is willing to
buy at a given price over a specified period oftime say per day , per week etc
Market demand is total quantity that all theusers of a commodity are willing to buy at agiven price over a specified period oftime.(sum of individual demands)

The detailed analysis of demand and supplydemonstrates how market forces solve the
problem of what,how and whom to produce.It illustrated how prices and quantities ofvarious goods and services are determined

As price increases the quantity demandeddecreasesConversely:
As price decreases the quantity demandedincreases
(Applicable in short run all other things
remaining constant (consumers tastes andpreferences , income ,substitutes andcomplements etc)

Reflects an inverse relationship, i.e.as price , quantity demanded
as price , quantity demanded
The law of demand is caused by: The income effect
The substitution effect

A demand schedule shows relationship between the price andquantity demanded of a good . Demand curve for almost all thecommodities slope downwards owing to inverse relationshipbetween price and quantity supplied.

prices Example:Demand schedule of good X

Income effect Substitution effect

14/39
As prices increase, consumers willpurchase fewer goods and services. Theirpurchasing power(or real income)decreases
Quantity demanded decreases As prices decrease, the purchasing power
of consumers increases
Quantity demandedincreases

As prices increase, consumers generallypurchase more of a substitute productwhose price is lower
A substitute productis a product thatperforms a similar function and satisfies thesame consumer need/want e.g.: Tea/coffee Butter/jam
If the price of butterincreases, the quantity
demanded will fall as consumers willsubstitute butter with jam

Increase in demand means rise in demanddue to change in taste, price of substitutes,
income of consumer (forward shift) andbackward shift is vice versa
Thus demand function = f( Px+ Y + Ps+Pc+T+A)

Definition: the quantity of a productwhich producers offer to the market ata certain price per unit of time

As price increases the quantity supplied increases conversely
as price decreases the quantity supplied decreases The law of supply is a directrelationship between price and
quantity supplied
As price , quantity supplied
As price , quantity supplied
The logic of the law of supply: Producers will seek to maximise their profits i.e.: supplying more at
higher prices and less at lower prices. Free market or capitalist
economy, producers will produce only that good for which price ismore so that they can increase profits

When supply of a commodity changes due tochange in factors other than price such as
technology, capital, input prices etc it iscalled increase or decrease in supply

Less supply at same price or same supply atmore price is called decrease in supply

Market equilibrium (E) is where:
Quantity demanded = quantity supplied
(intersection of demand and supply curves) The market is cleared (no shortages or
surpluses)
Price (Pe) is stable State of rest No unsold stock, no
unsupplied demand)

In real world price keeps on changing due tochange in determinants of demand and
supply

If supply remains constant increase in demand raises anddecrease in demand lowers the prices
Prices change directly with the change in demand
Supply constant , Demand increases, equilibrium price andquantity increases and vice versa

Increase in supply A rightward shift in supply curve results in a new equilibrium where price is
lower and quantity is higher
Decrease in supply A leftward shift in demand curve results in new equilibrium where price is
higher and quantity is lower.
Reduces quantity raises prices.
