inversely related to the supply of the good
🔑Key Points:
The law of demand:-
It is one of the most fundamental concepts in economics.
It works with the law of supply to explain how market economies allocate resources and determine the prices of goods and services that we observe in everyday transactions.
The law of demand states that the quantity purchased varies inversely with the price.Â
In other words, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This occurs because of diminishing marginal utility. That is, consumers use the first units of an economic good they purchase to serve their most urgent needs first, and use each additional unit of the good to serve successively lower-valued ends.
It is a fundamental principle of economics that states that at a higher price, consumers will demand a lower quantity of a good.
