How does the law of supply and demand work?
Suppose there are three buyers of candy in a market: Tex, Dex, and Rex. The market demand and the individual demands of Tex, Dex, and Rex are shown in the following table. a. Fill in the table for the missing values.b. Which buyer demands the least at a price of $5? The most at a price of $7?c. Which buyer’s quantity demanded increases the most when the price is lowered from $7 to $6?d. Which direction would the market demand curve shift if Tex withdrew from the market? What if Dex doubled his purchases at each possible price?e. Suppose that at a price of $6, the total quantity demanded increases from 19 to 38. Is this a “change in the quantity demanded” or a “change in demand”?

- Demand, Supply, and Market Equilibrium - Think of a product that you have purchased recently (e.g. soda, diapers, takeout meals, milk, shoes, manicure/pedicure, video game, etc...). Explain how the law of demand affected your purchase. Give specific examples of how the determinants of demand and supply affect this product (T-I-P-E-N and P-R-E-S-T). What happens to the demand curve and the supply curve when any of these determinants change? What would cause a change in demand versus a movement along the same demand curve for this product?
