                     4. People  who  are  willing  or         d)  an  imbalance  between  quantities
                  able  to  buy  a  particular  good  at  demanded and supplied
                  some price
                     5. All those who are willing and         e)  technology,  factor  costs,  other
                  able to sell that good at some price  goods, taxes, expectations, and the number
                                                           of sellers
                     6. Total  market  demand  or             f)  the  amount  demanded  exceeds  the
                  supply is                                quantity supplied (a market shortage)
                     7. Supply  and  demand  curves           g)  we  say  that  they  take  place  in
                  illustrate                               product  markets  or  factor  markets,
                                                           depending on what is being exchanged.
                     8. Demand         curve       slope      h)  disequilibrium  prices  imposed  on
                  downward                                 the marketplace
                     9. The  determinants  of  market         i)  these      underlying      determinants
                  demand include                           change
                     10.  If any of these determinants        j)  clears the market
                  changes
                     11.  Movements        along      the     k)  will deepens on the behaviour of all
                  demand curve are                         buyers  and  sellers,  as  summarised  in
                                                           market supplied and demand curves
                     12.  The determinants of market          l)  the  exchange  of  either  factors  of
                  supply include                           production or finished products
                     13.  Supply shifts when                  m) the  sum  of  individual  demands  or
                                                           supplies

                     14.  The  quantity  of  goods  or        n)  induced  only  by  a  change  in  the
                  resources  actually  exchanged  in  price of that good
                  each market
                     15.  At  point  where  the  two          o)  sellers  supply  more  that  buyers  are
                  curves intersect                         willing or able to buy (a market surplus)
                     16.  A distinctive feature of the        p)  an  equilibrium  price  will  be
                  equilibrium price and quantity           established
                     17.  At higher prices                    q)  the  number  of  potential  buyers  and
                                                           their  respective  tastes,  incomes,  other
                                                           goods, and expectations
                     18.  At lower prices                     r)  how  the  quantity  demanded  or
                                                           supplied changes in response to a change
                                                           in  the  price  of  that  good,  if  nothing  else
                                                           changes
                     19.  Only the equilibrium price          s)  are part of the market supply
                     20.  Price ceilings and floors are       t)  that  it  is  the  only  price-quantity
                                                           combination that is acceptable buyers and
                                                           sellers alike
                     21.  Such price controls create          u)  supply curve slope upward
