What is the reason for the law of demand?
Answer:
First off, the law of demand states that all things being equal a increase in the price will cause consumer demand to fall and vise versa.
The reason for is because people "willingness" and "ability" to buy the product as the price increase will falls.
If the price of milk increases form 3 dollars to 30 dollars per gallon. I will not be able to buy that at all and won't. If the price goes from 3 to 2 dollars then I will be able to buy more since the price is low.
The demand curve will always be downward sloping because price and quantity is inversely proportional.
Greed, the lower the price, the more we buy.
Law of demand :
If supply is held constant, an increase in demand leads to an increased market price, while a decrease in demand leads to a decreased market price.
Strictly considered, the model applies to a type of market called perfect competition in which no single buyer or seller has much effect on prices and prices are known. The quantity of a product supplied by the producer and the quantity demanded by the consumer are dependent on the market price of the product. The law of supply states that quantity supplied is related to price. It is often depicted as directly proportional to price: the higher the price of the product, the more the producer will supply, ceteris paribus. The law of demand is normally depicted as an inverse relation of quantity demanded and price: the higher the price of the product, the less the consumer will demand, cet. par. "Cet. par." is added to isolate the effect of price. Everything else that could affect supply or demand except price is held constant. The respective relations are called the 'supply curve' and 'demand curve', or 'supply' and 'demand' for short.
The laws of supply and demand state that the equilibrium market price and quantity of a commodity is at the intersection of consumer demand and producer supply. Here quantity supplied equals quantity demanded , that is, equilibrium. Equilibrium implies that price and quantity will remain there if it begins there. If the price for a good is below equilibrium, consumers demand more of the good than producers are prepared to supply. This defines a shortage of the good. A shortage results in the price being bid up. Producers will increase the price until it reaches equilibrium. Conversely, if the price for a good is above equilibrium, there is a surplus of the good. Producers are motivated to eliminate the surplus by lowering the price. The price falls until it reaches equilibrium.
