Target
To the casual observer, market activity seems to be a bewildering and
uncoordinated mass of transactions. Each individual in the market society is free
to buy what and when he pleases, to sell what and when he pleases, to produce or
to consume what he pleases, or to refrain altogether from any or all of these
activities. Transactions may involve any of innumerable commodities or services,
they may involve any of a wide range of quantities and qualities, and they may be
concluded at any of a wide variety of prices.
Market pricing is a means of organizing economic activity. It does this
primarily by coordinating the decisions of consumers, producers, and owners of
productive resources. Millions of economic agents who have no direct
communication with each other are led by the price system to supply each other’s
wants. In a modern economy the price system enables a consumer to buy a
product he has never previously purchased, produced by a firm of whose existence
he is unaware, which is operating with funds partially obtained from his own
savings.
Last module, we talked about the market demand, market supply and
market equilibrium. In our new topic, we will link more of these variables to the
market price system.
This learning material will help you to determine the implications of market
pricing on economic decision-making.
After going through this module, you are expected to:

Jumpstart
Prices are an expression of the consensus on the values of different things,
and every society that permits exchanges between people has prices. Because
prices are expressed in terms of a widely acceptable commodity, they permit a
ready comparison of the comparative values of various commodities—if shoes are
P300.00 per pair and ball pens are P10.00 each, a pair of shoes is worth 30 ball
pens. The price of anything is its value in exchange for a commodity of wide
acceptability: the price of a car may be some 100 pieces of gold bars or 2500 pieces
of paper currency. Thus, the system of prices can be arranged to reward or penalize
any kind of activity.
Activity 1: Looking back to your lessons
Direction: As we go further, let us try to recall the concepts of market demand,
market supply and market equilibrium. Please answer the following in a clean one-
fourth sheet of paper and attach your answers to this module. Write TRUE if the
statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect.
_______ 1. The equilibrium point is the level where the demand and supply curves
intersect.
_______ 2. If the price is above the equilibrium level, the quantity demanded is
greater than the quantity supplied.
_______ 3. If the price is below the equilibrium point, the quantity demanded is
lesser than the quantity supplied.
________4. The law of demand applies during online sales of computers when
consumers rush to buy products at 30% discounts.
_______ 5. The law of supply applies when the producers supply more masks at a
higher price; selling at higher quantity at a higher price increases revenue.

Demand, Supply and Elasticity of Clean Water in the Philippines
8/27/2015
According to an article created by Vice
News, there are 55 people who die in the
Philippines every day because of the lack
of clean water. As one can see clean water
is greatly needed by all people. As a
student who is lucky to be given all the
necessities needed in life it would be
normal not to think of this because we
normally do not notice it. However, we
need to. According to Katrina Arianne
Ebora, who works for UNICEF’s Water,
Sanitation and Hygiene program in the
Philippines stated that “Over 30 million people in the Philippines do not have
access to improved sanitation facilities.” Also, according to the PIS by 2050 the
population of the areas with poverty in Manila will reach over 9 million! With the
rising population of the Philippines there will be a problem with the economy of
clean water because there will be too much demand for the supply of water.
(Source: https://redmonteconomics.weebly.com/blog/demand-supply-and-
elasticity-of-clean-water-in-the-philippines)
In the article above, the causes and effects of the water shortage around the
Philippines could be best explained if we could understand the concepts of demand
and supply elasticity of the clean water.
A shortage is when there is an excess demand for the quantity supplied.
While surplus is excess in supply. For example, if there are 10 bottles of water and
there are 20 students who want drinking these, then there will be only 10 students
whose demands are met while the others will not be able to be given anything.
There is shortage in the supply. If producers make too many bottles of water and
consumers cannot buy them, there will be surplus.
Price System in a Market Economy
Let us find out more about the price system. We have learned that demand
is the willingness of the consumers to buy goods and services. In economics, the
6
willingness to buy goods and services should be accompanied by the ability to buy,
also called the “purchasing power”. This is referred to as an effective demand
(source: Investopedia).
EQUILIBRIUM CHARACTERISTICS
Equilibrium is a point of balance or a The supply and demand are balanced in
point of rest. It is also called “market- equilibrium.
clearing price”.
Equilibrium price is the price at which The economic forces are balanced and in
the producer can sell all the units he the absence of external influences, the
wants to produce and the buyer can buy (equilibrium) values of economic
all the units he wants variables will not change.
Quantity demanded and quantities The amount of goods or services sought
supplied are equal. by buyers is equal to the amount of
goods or services produced by sellers.
Price System in a Market Economy: Its Characteristics
The prices of goods that we encounter every day to the things we buy play a
crucial role in determining an efficient distribution of resources in a market
system. The prices will help us to make every day economic decisions about our
needs and desires. They are the indications of the acceptance of a product; the
more popular the product, the higher the price that can be charged. Example is
when a table are for sale in your community today and is assumed that they are
not very important as compared to other products or commodities that we need to
survive especially that our movements are very limited.
Neither the producers nor consumers can impact the prices; consumers can
buy whatever they want; nor can producers make and sell whatever they want.
Prices are decided by interactions between the producers and the consumers.
Price acts as a signal for shortages and surpluses which help firms and
consumers respond to changing market conditions.
If a good is in shortage – price will tend to rise. Rising prices discourage
demand, and encourage firms to try and increase supply.
If a good is in surplus – price will tend to fall. Falling price encourage people
to buy, and cause firms to try and cut back on supply.
Prices help to redistribute resources from goods with little demand to goods
and services
The market price is the point that the supply and demand curves intersect.
(Judge, S. 2020)

We explore more how equilibrium happens. Let us analyze the charts below. The
chart shows a surplus – the quantity is greater than demand. When quantity is
greater than demand it causes prices to go down
Figure 1. The Equilibrium Figure 2. The Surplus
Point or the Market Price Point
Point
Prices are market driven - The producers can
make what they want and consumers are free to
purchase what they want. This means that customers
live in a market economy. When prices are high,
supply increases as many firms join the market
(Judge, S. 2020). Let’s say the units of cellular
phones. The numbers of suppliers have increased
because of high prices of the cellular phones. When
smartphones were new in the market, there were
fewer producers and prices were high. The high prices
attracted the producers to join the market (Judge, Figure 3. Shortage Point
S. 2020).
In shortage, quantity is less than the demand; it causes prices to go up due
to scarcity. Example of which is the shortage in masks and ethyl alcohol in the
market. There is shortage in the supply, thus, price tends to go up or tends to go
higher (Judge, S. 2020).
Law of Supply and Demand
The law of supply and demand explains the interaction between the sellers of
a product and the buyers. It shows the relationship between the availability of a
particular product and the desire (or demand) for that product has on its price.
8
The Law of Demand
Demand is the desire of a consumer to
purchase goods or services and willingness to
pay for that product or services at a given price.
If all other factors remain equal, the higher the
price of a good, the fewer people will demand
that good. “the higher the price, the lower the
quantity demanded” and vice versa. The demand
curve is always downward sloping due to the law
of diminishing marginal utility.
Figure 4. Demand Curve
The Law of Supply
The law of supply demonstrates the
quantities that will be sold at a given price. The
higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied
and vice versa. The law of supply says "as the
price of a product increases, companies will
produce more of the product”. When graphing
the supply vs. the price, the slope rises.
Figure 5. Supple Curve
How Do Supply and Demand Create an Equilibrium Price?
Equilibrium price is the price at which a producer can sell all the units he
wants to produce and a buyer can buy all the units he wants. Supply and demand
are balanced, or in equilibrium. The demand curve is downward sloping; this is due
to the law of diminishing marginal utility. The supply curve is a vertical line;
overtime, supply curve slopes upward; the more suppliers that are expected to
charge higher, the more they are more willing to produce and bring products to the
market. In the equilibrium point, the two slopes will intersect. The market price is
sufficient to induce suppliers to bring to market that same quantity of goods that
consumers will be willing to pay for at that price.
Price Elasticity of Demand and Supply
Price elasticity measures the responsiveness of
the quantity demanded or supplied of a good to a
change in its price. Elasticity can be described as: a)
elastic or very responsive and b) unit elastic, or inelastic
or not very responsive.
Elastic demand or supply curve indicates Figure 6. The equilibrium
that quantity demanded or supplied point
respond to price changes in a greater than
proportional manner.
9
Inelastic demand or supply curve is one where a given percentage change
in price will cause a smaller percentage change in quantity demanded or
supplied.
Unitary elasticity means that a given percentage changes in price leads to
an equal percentage change in quantity demanded or supplied.
Categories of Price Elasticity
According to Agarwal, P. (2018) and Judge, S. (2020), there are four categories of
price elasticity are the following:
I. The Price Elasticity of Demand
Price elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded, or how
much quantity demanded changes, given a change in the price of goods or services.
The mathematical value is negative. A negative value indicates an inverse
relationship between price and the quantity demanded. But the negative sign is
ignored (Judge, S. 2020). Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) = % change in
quantity demanded % Change in price
Figure 7. Price Elasticity of Demand
Elastic Demand (PED > 1) - the percentage change in price brings about a
more than proportionate change in quantity demanded. When the percentage
change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price, and
the coefficient of the elasticity is greater than 1.
Examples are real estate and housing - are many different housing choices. People
may live in a townhouses, condos, apartments, or resorts. The options make easy
for people to not pay more than they demand.
Inelastic Demand (coefficient of the elasticity is less than 1) – is when an
increase in price causes a smaller % fall in demand. When the percentage change
in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price, and the
coefficient of the elasticity is less than 1.
An example is gasoline – gasoline has few alternatives; people with cars
consider it as a necessity and they need to buy gasoline. There are weak
substitutes, such as train riding, walking and buses. If the price of gasoline goes
up, demand is very inelastic. Other Examples: Diamonds, air conditioners, iPhone,
Cigarettes
10
Unitary Elastic Demand - When the percentage change in demand is equal
to the percentage change in price, the product is said to have Unitary Elastic
demand. Unitary elastic - PED or the price elasticity of demand is 1.
Perfectly Elastic - a small percentage change in price brings about a
change in quantity demanded from zero to infinity. The PED is =0 any change in
price will not have any effect on the demand of the product and the percentage
change in demand will be equal to zero (0).
Point Elasticity
The midpoint elasticity is less than 1. (Ed < 1). Price reduction leads to
reduction in the total revenue of the firm.
The demand curve is linear (straight line), it has a unitary elasticity at the
midpoint. The total revenue is maximum at this point.
Any point above the midpoint has elasticity greater than 1, (Ed > 1).
The Income Elasticity of Demand (YED)
The income elasticity of demand is the relationship between changes in
quantity demanded for a good and a change in real income. (YED = % change in
quantity demanded/ % change in income)
Normal Goods – are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer
income rises; positive income elasticity of demand so as consumers’ income rises
more is demanded at each price. These goods shift to the right as income rises.
YED is positive as income rises, the proportion spent on cheap goods will reduce as
now they can afford to buy more expensive goods. An example is the demand for
units of air-conditioning increases as the income of the consumer increases and
the demand for electric fan decreases. The normal good here are the units of air-
conditioning while the inferior goods are the electric fans.
Inferior Goods – the demand decreases when consumer income rises;
demand increases when consumer income decreases. It shifts to the left as income
rises. YED is negative as income rises, the proportion spent on cheap goods will
reduce as now they can afford to buy more expensive goods. Examples: the demand
for cheap/generic electronic goods (let say electric fans) will fall as people income
rises and they will switch to expensive branded electronic goods (unit of air-
conditioning).
Cross Price Elasticity of Demand or (XED)
Cross price elasticity of demand is the effect on the change in demand of one
good as a result of a change in price of related to another product. XED = (% of
change in the quantity demanded of good X / % of change in the price of good Y). If
the value of XED is positive, it is a substitute good. If the value of XED is negative,
therefore it is complements good and if the value of XED is zero, the two goods are
unrelated.
11
Price Elasticity of Supply (PES)
The measure of the responsiveness of a quantity to a change in price. It is the
percentage change in supply as compared to the percentage change in price of a
commodity. PES = % change in quantity demanded of a good or service supplied /
% change in price). If supply is elastic, producers can increase output without a
rise in cost or a time delay. If supply is inelastic, firms find it hard to change
production in a given time period.
If Pes > 1 = supply is price elastic
Pes = 0 = supply is perfectly inelastic
Pes = infinity = supply is perfectly elastic
Pes < 1 = supply is price inelastic
Figure 8. Elastic Supply Figure 9. Inelastic Supply
Figure 11. Perfectly Elastic Supply
Figure 10. Perfectly Inelastic
Supply
Determinants of Price Elasticity of Supply
Agarwal, P. (2020) said, price elasticity of supply can be influenced by the
following factors:
1. Marginal Cost- If the cost of producing one more unit keeps rising as output
rises or marginal cost rises rapidly with an increase in output, the rate of
output production will be limited. The Price Elasticity of Supply will be
inelastic – the percentage of quantity supplied changes less than the change
in price. If Marginal Cost rises slowly, supply will be elastic.
2. Time - Over time price elasticity of supply tends to become more elastic. The
producers would increase the quantity supplied by a larger percentage than
an increase in price.
3. Number of Firms - The larger the number of firms, the more likely the
supply is elastic. The firms can jump in to fill in the void in supply.
12
4. Mobility of Factors of Production- If factors of production are movable, the
price elasticity of supply tends to be more elastic. The labor and other inputs
can be brought in from other location to increase the capacity quickly.
5. Capacity - If firms have spare capacity, the price elasticity of supply is
elastic. The firm can increase output without experiencing an increase in
costs, and quickly with a change in price.
To summarize what we’ve learned:
A demand curve shows the relationship between quantity demanded and
price in a given market on a graph.
The law of demand states that a higher price typically leads to a lower
quantity demanded.
A supply curve shows the relationship between quantity supplied and price
on a graph.
The law of supply says that a higher price typically leads to a higher quantity
supplied.
The equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity occur where the supply and
demand curves cross.
The equilibrium occurs where the quantity demanded is equal to the
quantity supplied.
If the price is below the equilibrium level, then the quantity demanded will
exceed the quantity supplied.
Excess demand or a shortage will exist. If the price is above the equilibrium
level, then the quantity supplied will exceed the quantity demanded.
Excess supply or a surplus will exist. In either case, economic pressures will
push the price toward the equilibrium level.
