Basic Laws of Supply and Demand

Supply and Demand:

P – price
Q – quantity of good
S – supply
D – demand

The four basic laws of supply and demand are:

  • If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to higher equilibrium price and higher quantity.
  • If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to lower equilibrium price and lower quantity.
  • If supply increases and demand remains unchanged, then it leads to lower equilibrium price and higher quantity.
  • If supply decreases and demand remains unchanged, then it leads to higher equilibrium price and lower quantity.
