Question
Explain clearly two factors which determine demand.
Answer in Brief
Solution
Two determinants of demand:
- Price of the commodity: With constant money income for the consumer and an increase in the price of a commodity, the purchasing power of the consumer reduces and vice versa. Thus, the consumer purchases less of a commodity with an increase in its price.
- Income of the consumer: Other things remaining constant, an increase in the individual income would mean an increase in the purchasing power of the consumer. Thus, the consumer can purchase commodities with an increased income.
