The Demand Curve

Why does the demand curve slope downward? The demand curve demonstrates how much of a good people are willing to buy at different prices. In this video, we shed light on why people go crazy on Black Friday and, using the demand curve for oil, show how people respond to changes in price.

One of his courses was on economics, and all he taught was this: Supply and demand in 5 minutes. More supply less demand. Less supply more demand.

    At 1:47, on the graph, if we price $55 a barrel making 5 million barrels, we make $275,000,000. Cool. Now, we should only lower the price if we'll make more money doing so (or at least not lose money). At $20 a barrel for 25 million barrels, it makes sense because the revenue is now $500,000,000, much more than the $275,000,000 at the start. However, at $5 a barrel for 50 million barrels, we only make $250,000,000, which is less than the $275 million we started out with. That's poor pricing. The price should be nothing less than $5.50 per barrel at 50 million barrels if we want to not lose money when lowering the price, or else, it doesn't make sense to produce that many barrels.

    The graph is confusing. Should price, the invariant axis, be along the bottom? And the quantity demanded be the y axis? The curve would look the same but moving from left to right along the curve would show the change in demand as the price increases, much more intuitive. Is this a convention in economics that the price is always labeled along the y axis?

The most important thing is to start at the begging and make sure that for SURE you understand Marginal benfits and Marginal Costs, thinking at the margin alone is all it takes to get a general economic basis.

    This video is about the relationship between price and the quantity demanded. This relationship is shown by each point _along_ the demand curve. The curve simply shows that as the price (per unit) goes down, the total quantity demanded for that product rises. If I understand your question correctly, you seem to ask about a different issue: why does the price rise when the quantity demanded increases regardless of what the price is. Sometimes, due to factors not plotted in the graph, the quantity demanded would increase (move to the right) at any given price, or at 'all prices'. We represent that is by shifting or moving the demand curve as a whole to the right.

    A higher "demand for college" means that for any possible price of college, there is now more quantity demanded (due to an increase in some variable not plotted in the graph). In that case, the demand curve would shift left and then the graph would show how the equilibrium price would rise. The graph would represent the phenomenon of competition between demanders of college, who would bid up the price to get the college spots ahead of each other.

    I can not be the only one here who is utterly confused on what a demand curve is explaining? There are far too much assumptions, I have no idea what the x or y axis mean nor as to why when quantity demand goes up, why people would be willing to pay less? I am so utterly lost and jaw dropped that such a simple concept like this has just absolutely fried my brain. I don't think I've ever been this confused on one entire subject. Are the axis's even correlated? Does the X axis react as a result to a change in the Y axis? What the fuck is this?

    People will be willing to pay less..... because of the application of law of diminishing marginal utility Explaination= As u consume more and more of a commodity( eg: sandwich). The satisfaction gain by each sandwich will tend to decline.....and ultimately it will become zero.....and it can get negative also So, if 10th sandwich which u r consuming is giving 0 satisfaction!!! So will u consume more?? Obviously no!! U would not want to pay a single penny for the next sandwich... Because of this only....more u consume (demand).....u wil be willing to pay less and less amt.

    Its a great video but becomes miss-leading when you don't consider the concentration of wealth which drives inflation of products for maintaining and increasing profit margins.  which has a feedback effect in driving up prices, if you can sell a product for 100 times the price and there is still someone to buy, it makes more sense and as profit margins increase aggregate demand/purchasing power diminishes and reduces access to the economy driving up consumer lending to make ends meet.  this is further exacerbated by trade deals allowing companies to make products overseas and exclude the people that built their company in their country of origin from participating in the economy, welcome to the information age. some of us can recognize the declaration of economic warfare by neo-liberal globalists.

    +Pawadin What's misleading is the absurd-on-its-face notion that any "concentration of wealth ... drives inflation of products for maintaining and increasing profit margins." Every aspect of that nonsensical claim fails spectacularly. First, the disproved fairy tales of Thomas Picketty notwithstanding, there exists not a shred of evidence that concentration of wealth causes any difficulties whatsoever in a market economy. Second, inflation is a purely monetary phenomenon driven by the number of dollars available to chase a given set of goods and services so, even if wealth concentration were a problem, it is objectively impossible for it to have any effect at all on inflation, let alone drive it. Third, inflation has no role whatsoever in "maintaining and increasing profit margins". Quite the contrary, inflation adds another factor that must be taken into account when determining prices. The absence of inflation would make maintaining profit margins easier (on top of tremendously benefiting the economy as a whole). There exists no "feedback effect" as the underlying premise is completely false. Mr. MacDonald has dealt with the "100 times" absurdity (and, while not specifically mentioning it, shredding the notion that it could increase "aggregate demand" or reduce purchasing power (which reflects the goods and services options as a whole - not merely a single product). I'll only add that you dig yourself even deeper with the hilarious implication that consumer lending is driven by a need to make ends meet. Similarly, Mr. McDonald has schooled you quite well on the issue of foreign trade. You do seem to have included another massive canard that was not addressed regarding "the people that built their company" being excluded. Who do you believe "built their company? You seem to be suffering from the all-too-common delusion that front-line workers enjoy that distinction and that it is possible to exclude them from their due. This Marxian imbecility must be stopped whenever it rears its ugly head. The simple reality is that workers are simply providing labor services for which the market *guarantees* that they must be fully compensated for the labor services they provide. It is economically impossible to underpay workers. Maybe you should stop trying to recognize declarations and spend a little more time trying to deal with something that has completely escaped your attention: reality.
