3. Socialism
-combination of capitalism and communism

MARKET: Defined
-group of actual and potential buyers with similar needs and wants interacting with sellers offering products and
services.
TYPES OF MARKET
A. Consumer Market
-marketing of consumer goods
-high competition, penetration, dynamics of channel of management and high manufacturing expenses and
distribution
B. Business Market
-selling of projects (Industrial Market)
-deals with bulk sales
-great need for promotions
C. Global Market
D. Government or Non-profit Market
-involves government offices, ordinances, factories, navy, army and other government departments
-entities might have limited purchasing budget and hence the price of products is limited.
FUNCTIONS OF MARKETING
1. Buying
-first step in the process of marketing
2. Assembly
-collection of goods from various sources and transporting them into common place called “market”
3. Selling
-involves in all personal and imperil act, securing and developing a demand for a given product or services
and communicating the sale for it
4. Market Research
-essential sales depend upon this
-helps supplier’s learn the quality and quantity of goods wanted by customers
5. Transportation
-movement of goods from suppliers to market
6. Storing
-keeping goods in proper condition

What is Demand?
*quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing to buy at different prices during a period of time.
What is Aggregate Demand?
*totality of a consumer’s demand
Note: The Demand Curve is downward sloping due to substitution effect and the income effect.
PRICE DEMAND
Substitution Effect ↓ ↑
Income Effect ↓ ↑
*If the price of certain product is high, the buyer tends to look for a substitute product with a lower price.
*If the Price of a product is high given a constant level of income, the demand for that product increases

DEMAND SCHEDULE- a relationship between the prices of a commodity and quantity demanded at the various
prices, holding other determinants of the quantity demanded constant.
*A change in quantity demanded is different from a shift in the demand curve itself. Shift in the demand curve
occurs when one of the determinants change.
TYPE OF GOODS
INFERIOR GOODS Goods with the least priority from buyers.
NORMAL GOODS Goods normally prioritized by buyers
SUBSTITUTE GOODS Goods that can be used in place of other goods
COMPLEMENTARY GOODS Goods that go together

SUPPLY
-maximum units/quantity of goods or services offered
Law of Supply states that the price of the product and the quantity supplied are directly related; i.e., the lower the
price, the lower the quantity supplied. This explains the upward line in the supply graph. Also, in short run, the price
of the product and the quantity supplied are positively related because of the law of diminishing returns.

DETERMINANTS OF SUPPLY
Production prices
Prices of the other goods
Prices expectations
Technology
Taxes
Subsidies
The supply schedule is a relationship between the price of a good (on the vertical axis) and the quantity supplied to
the market ( horizontal axis) at each price, holding other determinants of the quantity supplied constant. A change
in a price commodity is represented as a movement along the supply schedule.
Supply curve shift is the change in the quantity supplied must be distinguished from a shift in the supply curve itself.
The latter is caused by a change in one of the determinants.
An increase in supply commodity A (a shift in the supply schedule to the right) can be caused by changes in the
following determinants.
A decrease in a factor of the production price
An improvement in technology
A decrease in the demand of commodity (B), including firms to divert resources from the
production of B to A
The expectation of price decreases
A decrease in taxation of good or an increase in subsidization.
SUPPLY FUNCTION
QS= m+ nP
Where:
QS= quantity supplied
m=supply at 0
n= by how many will the supply increase

P=price of goods
Market supply is the sum of the individual supply curves of all sellers in the market.
Price elasticity of supply (ES) is the responsiveness of a change in the quantity supplied to a percentage change in
the price in the commodity.
A perfect inelastic supply curve has an elasticity of zero. Thus, it occurs only when a firm cannot vary the quantity in
supply it supplies. A perfectly inelastic supply curve is depicted as a vertical line.
The market is the interaction of buyers and sellers brought into contract with one another to engage in purchases
and sales of economic goods.
Equilibrium between price and output is the point at which the demand and supply curves intersect. The graph
illustrates the concept of market equilibrium.
At the point of intersection of the demand curves, anyone wishing to purchase the good price can do so. The market
forces of supply and demand thus create an automatic, efficient rationing system.
Price fixing is the setting of mandatory or artificial prices. It often interferes with the free operation in the market.
Attempts to alter the output and price can have an effect on equilibrium.
PRICE CEILING. Price is established below the equilibrium price causing shortages to develop. The usual result is non-
price competition among buyers which allocates the quantity that is supplied.

PRICE FLOOR
Price Floor - A minimum price is set above the equilibrium price, causing surpluses to develop (e.g.,
many agricultural products). The price floor illustrates a surplus because of an artificially high price.
The pricing system acts to efficiently distribute economic goods to consumers willing to pay for them. When
a shortage exists, the market price will rise and the quantity demanded will decrease, eliminating the
shortage.
Attempts to circumvent the market often interfere with market forces, causing too many resources to go
into one sector of the economy and too few into others.
