If demand is unaffected by this event because it creates only a supply change, select the "None" option under the "Demand Determinant" column. Similarly, if supply is unaffected by this event because it creates only a demand change, select the "None" option under the "Supply Determinant" column.

The demand curve for a group of consumers in a market is simply the horizontal summation of each individual's demand. The single demand curve shows the quantity of a good that people will buy, allowing all factors (price, income, expected future prices, etc.) to vary. An increase in income will cause a person to move down and to the right along her demand curve.arrow_forward
