Moreover, this part of the activity, firstly, must be objectively expressed in some way, and secondly, it must differ from other forms of similar activity.

It has a constitutional basis and means that all the activities of the customs authorities and their officials must be carried out on the basis of strict and unswerving compliance with the requirements of the current Russian legislation.

Price elasticity

Influence and dependence of demand on supply

Demand(in economics) - this is the quantity of a product that buyers are able and willing to buy at a given price. full demand for product is the total demand for this product for various prices.

The concept of demand, its elasticity

Demand is determined by the solvent needs of buyers. Demand is depicted as a graph showing the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to buy at a certain price of the possible prices within a certain period of time. It shows the quantity of goods for which demand will be presented at different prices and the quantity that consumers will buy at different possible prices. demand - the maximum at which acquirer willing to buy this product. Demand quantities must have a certain value and refer to a certain period of time. The fundamental property of demand is as follows: with all other parameters unchanged, a decrease in price leads to a corresponding increase in the quantity demanded. There are times when practical data contradict law demand, but this does not mean its violation, but only a violation of the assumption, other things being equal. Any price set by the firm, one way or another, will affect the level of demand for the product. The relationship between the price and the resulting level of demand is represented by the well-known demand curve. The curve shows how much product will be sold for market during a specific period of time at different prices that may be charged within a given period of time. In a normal situation, demand and price are inversely proportional, i.e. the higher the price, the lower the demand. And accordingly, the lower the price, the higher the demand. So by raising the price of a product, it will sell a smaller quantity of the product. Consumers with a limited budget, faced with a choice of alternative products, will buy more those products whose prices are acceptable to them.

Most demand curves tend downward in straight or curved lines.

characteristic of consumer goods. However, in cases with prestige goods, the demand curve has a positive slope, that is, when the price of a product increases, the quantity of its sale increases. In this case, consumers considered a higher price as an indicator of more High Quality or greater desirability of these spirits. However, if the price rises further, the demand for goods may fall.

Doer market you need to know how sensitive demand is to price changes. Elasticity of demand - change in demand for a given product under the influence of economic and social factors associated with price changes; demand can be elastic if the percentage change in its volume exceeds the decrease in the price level, and inelastic if the rate of price decrease is greater than the increase in demand. Economists use the concept of price elasticity to measure the sensitivity of consumers to changes in the price of a product. If small changes in price lead to large changes in the quantity purchased, then such demand is called relatively elastic or simply elastic. If a significant change in price leads to a small change in the number of purchases, then such demand is relatively inelastic or simply inelastic.

If a change in price does not lead to any change in the quantity demanded, then such demand is perfectly inelastic. If the least price drop encourages buyers to increase their purchases from zero to the limit of their capabilities, then such demand is perfectly elastic.

What determines price elasticity of demand? demand is likely to be less elastic under the following circumstances:

There is little or no replacement for the product, or there are no competitors;

buyers do not immediately notice the increase in prices;

shoppers are slowly changing their shopping habits and

not in a hurry to look for cheaper goods;

buyers believe that the increased price is justified

product quality improvement, natural growth inflation etc.



Demand quantity

It is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of the magnitude of demand and demand. The quantity demanded is the willingness to buy a certain amount of a product at one particular price, and the total demand for a commodity is a set of quantities demanded at all possible prices, that is, a functional dependence of the quantity demanded on price. As a rule, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, and vice versa. In some cases, there is a so-called paradoxical demand (Giffen product) - an increase in the quantity demanded with an increase in price. Demand is also characterized by elasticity. If, with an increase or decrease in price, the product is bought in almost the same quantities, then such demand is called inelastic. If a change in price leads to a sharp change in the quantity demanded, then it is elastic.

Inelastic, as a rule, the demand for basic necessities, the demand for other goods is usually more elastic. Paradoxical is often the demand for luxury items or status attributes. One of the fundamental concepts of a market economy, which means the desire, the intention of buyers and consumers to purchase this product, supported by a monetary opportunity. S. is characterized by its value, which means the amount of a product that is willing and able to purchase at a given price at a given period time. The volume and structure of S. depend both on product prices and on other, non-price factors, such as fashion, consumer incomes, and so on. from the price of other goods, including substitute goods and related, related goods. The following types of S. are distinguished: individual - S. of one person, market - S. published on the market and cumulative - S. in all markets of a given product or for all produced and sold goods. Demand is characterized by its magnitude, which means the quantity of a product that the buyer is willing and able to purchase at a given price at a given time. period time. The volume and structure of demand depend both on product prices and on non-price factors such as fashion, income consumers, as well as the price of other goods, including substitute goods.

Distinguish:

individual demand,

market demand,

aggregate demand.

For managers company(firm) it is important to know more or less reliably the volume of market demand, market capacity, expected demand for those goods that firm(organization) will offer to the market. Depending on the level of demand, the following types of it are distinguished:

negative demand

hidden demand,

falling demand,

irregular demand,

full demand,

excessive demand,

irrational demand,

lack of product.

The given states of demand correspond to a certain type of marketing. For managers According to the analysis of market conditions, an important task is not only knowledge about the presence of demand, but the need to determine the magnitude of demand, both current (at the moment) and expected in the future (prospective), in order to reasonably determine the development of production of goods. The level of individual (separate purchaser) demand and market demand depends on numerous factors that must be taken into account in marketing management, in the management of a firm (firm).



The Market and the Law of Demand

Market - an indirect, mediated relationship between producers and consumers of products in the form of the sale of goods, the scope of sales and commodity-money relations, as well as the entire set of means, methods, tools, organizational and legal norms, structures, etc., ensuring the functioning of such relations. The market is the only system of purchase and sale relations, the structural elements of which are the markets for goods, capital, labor, securities, ideas, information etc. The market is the basis of a market economy.

A market is a tool or mechanism that brings together buyers (demanders) and sellers (suppliers) of individual goods and services. Some markets are local, while others are international or national. Some are distinguished by personal contact between the demander and the supplier, while others are impersonal - they are the buyer and salesman never see or know each other at all,

The state of the market is determined by the ratio of the magnitude of demand and suggestions

Ask sentence- interdependent elements of the market mechanism, where demand is determined by the solvent needs of buyers (consumers), and - a set of goods offered sellers(manufacturers); the ratio between them develops into an inversely proportional relationship, determining the corresponding changes in the level of prices for goods.

Demand is depicted as a graph showing the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to buy at a certain price from the prices available over a certain period of time. Demand expresses a range of alternative possibilities that can be represented in a table. It shows the quantity of goods for which (ceteris paribus) will be demanded at different prices. Demand measures the quantity of a good that consumers will buy at different possible prices. The bid price is the maximum price at which the buyer is willing to buy the product.

Demand quantities must have a certain value and refer to a certain period of time. The fundamental property of demand is as follows: with all other parameters unchanged price drop leads to a corresponding increase in demand. There are times when practical data contradict the law of demand, but this does not mean its violation, but only a violation of the assumption, other things being equal.

The existence of the law of demand is confirmed by some facts:

1. Usually people actually buy a given product more at a low price than at a high one. The very fact that companies are throwing "sales" is clear evidence of their belief in the law of demand. Businesses are reducing their inventory not by raising prices, but by lowering them.

Definition of demand

Any entrepreneur, supplying a product to the market, first of all faces the problem of demand for this product. Suppose he intends to invest money in the production of leather bags. But for this, he first of all should establish whether there is a demand for bags and what is its value.

Demand is determined by the desire of consumers to purchase a product. But define demand in an economy based only on the desires of buyers is almost impossible and fraught with serious errors. It is safe to assume that almost all students want to have Reebok shoes, but the manufacturers of these sneakers will make a serious mistake if they focus only on the desires of students. It is clear to everyone that today this desire is far from feasible for all schoolchildren.

In addition to the desire to have sneakers, you must have the opportunity to buy them, and for this you need to have about $ 120 in your wallet. Those who do not have such an amount of money will not be able to fulfill their desire, and for this group of buyers, manufacturers of this goods should not be guided. Consequently,

Demand should not be equated with the magnitude of demand. What determines the amount of demand?

First of all, the quantity demanded will be determined by the price level. Let's say we did a survey. large group possible buyers, as a result of which it was possible to identify the following relationship between the magnitude of demand and the price of the goods, which is presented in Table. 3-1.

Table 3-1 shows that an increase in price is accompanied by a decrease in the quantity demanded. So, at a price of 10 r. per bow of a commodity, the quantity demanded will be equal to 50 pieces of the commodity. 1price increase to 15 p. will entail a decrease in the quantity demanded to 42 pieces, etc.

This dependence of the quantity demanded on the price level is called the scale of demand. Determining the magnitude of demand and its dependence on price, we have in mind a set time and place. If our study had been conducted in a different country, region, or time, perhaps each price level would have corresponded to a different quantity demanded. That's why,

The established relationship between the price and the quantity demanded can also be depicted in the form of a graph (see Fig. 3-1).

The DD curve obtained on the chart (from the English demand - demand) is called the demand curve. Each point of this curve reflects the dependence of the quantity demanded on the price level. The DD curve is constructed in accordance with the data given in Table. 3-1.

The demand curve can be viewed from two perspectives:

For any particular price, the quantity demanded indicates the maximum quantity of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase;

For any given volume of demand, a maximum price is set at which sellers will be able to sell a given quantity of goods.

Law of demand

Any competitive market where goods are exchanged has its own market laws. They are a characteristic feature of the economic response of the parties to the ratio of the quantity of exchanged goods and their pricing policy. One of the most important laws that are involved in the process of commodity exchange and pricing is the law of demand.

The law of demand is such a law, in which, with an increase in the price of a product, the quantity demanded decreases, and a decrease in prices leads to an increase in demand for this product. It can be said with certainty that the law of demand is the link with which the quantity of the purchased goods and its price are connected.

That is, the originality of this law lies in the inverse relationship that exists between the price and the quantity of the purchased goods. You have probably observed more than once how, with an increase in price, the number of goods purchased by the consumer immediately decreases, and vice versa - if the price of a product decreases, then the quantity of goods sold immediately increases, as consumers like to purchase goods in reserve.



Just as naturally, there is such a tendency, when the quantity of a commodity on the market increases, then it can be sold, provided that the price of it decreases. And, probably, you noticed that if there is a shortage of goods familiar to the buyer, then the price for them instantly rises, but, as a result, demand.

But you can also observe another feature of the law of demand, in which the demand of buyers is decreasing. Such a decrease in purchases of a particular product is no longer due to high price, but due to the saturation of the market with this product. As a rule, such a glut occurs because, due to the low price, the population has made many purchases of the same product and the moment has come when such purchases are reduced, although the price of it has remained low.

Now we can highlight such important features of the market that the law of demand dictates to us.

The first such feature can be called the inverse relationship that was established between the price and the quantity of goods that the consumer buys;

The second important feature of the law of demand is such a pattern as a gradual decrease in demand for any commodity exchanged on the market.

Effects affecting the law of demand

As we already know that the demand for a product is not always the same, since different effects can have different effects on its value. These can include the following effects:

Firstly, this is the “herd effect” or when the moments of joining the majority work, according to the principle “probably come in handy”;
Secondly, this is the Veblen effect or it is also called the conspicuous consumption effect.
Thirdly, the snob effect also affects demand.

And now let's try to understand in more detail such effects that affect our choice and demand.

The effect of joining the majority

The pattern of this effect is that many people succumb to the herd mentality and buy the product that everyone buys. As a rule, it is dictated by fashion. Each person strives to be in trend, keep up with fashion trends, be on a par with others and maintain a common style.

snob effect

But unlike the previous one, the snob effect is that the consumer tries to stand out from the crowd and acquires such a special product that will be different from the majority. He will never buy what attracts the majority. In this example, we can also say that the choice of a snob buyer depends on the choice of other consumers, but with the only difference that such a dependence is inverse.

Veblen effect

The next is the Veblen effect. It got its name from an American economist and sociologist who developed his theory and published it in a book called The Theory of the Leisure Class. In his theory, Thorstein Veblen tried to explain such a concept as prestigious and ostentatious consumption. That is, in this case, a person acquires some thing not because it is vital for him, but for the purpose of prestige, in order to impress others and other consumers. With such an acquisition, a person wants to emphasize his belonging to a high status.

In this case, such a buyer is not so much interested in the characteristics and quality of this product as in the price that he is willing to pay. That is, in this case it is worth talking not about the real price of this product, but about the prestigious one. After all, the real price is the price that a person really paid for the product, and prestige.

Law of Demand Factors

It will not be a secret to anyone that the main factor on which demand depends is the price or the price factor.

But besides the price, there are also factors that relate to non-price factors. These factors are:



Patterns of the law of demand

To justify the reliability of the law of demand, several arguments can be proposed.

1. In the vast majority of cases, there is a so-called price barrier: if the price rises, then for some part of the people the product is not available, and they will be forced to refuse to buy it; the higher the price, the more people will be for whom the price barrier will be insurmountable; sales, widely practiced in all countries, when in order to increase the volume of demand the price is sharply reduced, sometimes to the level of the cost of liquidating the goods, can serve as an example of lowering the price barrier.

2. An increase in the volume of demand with a decrease in price can be justified by the income effect arising from this. An income effect occurs when a reduction in the price of a good saves some of the buyer's income; the income itself in this case does not change absolutely, but the saving gives the buyer the opportunity to purchase an additional amount of goods for the amount of money saved. For example, if the price of bananas drops from 30 p. up to 20 rubles, the buyer instead of 2 kg of bananas for 60 rubles. will be able to buy 3 kg, although his income has not changed. It rose only relative to the falling price of bananas.

3. An increase in the volume of demand with a decrease in price is also explained by the substitution effect. This effect is related to the problem of choice. If, of two interchangeable goods, one becomes cheaper, then the buyer will give preference to the cheaper product and reduce purchases of the other, which has become more expensive relative to the first. So, if pears fell 1.5 times in price, and the price of apples did not change, many consumers will reduce their purchases of apples and purchase more pears.

4. An increase in the magnitude of demand with a decrease in price can also be explained by the principle of decreasing marginal (additional) utility of a product. Imagine that you are on a hot afternoon at the beach and you are thirsty. Entrepreneurial people will take advantage of this and offer you to buy a bottle of Fanta. The pleasure or utility you get from the first bottle you drink will be very great. The second will bring you less pleasure, i.e., its marginal utility will be less; but most of you will agree to buy the third bottle only if it is offered to you at a lower price, since its marginal utility will be very low, and for some it will even become negative.

The above arguments allow us to explain why the demand curve is directed downward from left to right, that is, it has a negative slope: a decrease in the price segment on the vertical axis is accompanied by an increase in the segment reflecting the magnitude of demand on the horizontal axis.

Are there exceptions to this rule?

Giffen effect

The English economist and statistician Robert Giffen (1837-1910) described a situation where an increase in price leads to an increase in the quantity demanded. This situation has been called the Giffen effect. He watched how poor working-class families increased their consumption of potatoes, despite the rise in price. The explanation boils down to the fact that potatoes occupied a large share of the cost of food in poor families. Other food they could afford infrequently. And if there was an increase in the price of potatoes, the poor family was forced to abandon the purchase of meat and other whole foods and spend all their small income on the purchase of goods such as potatoes. The demand curve in this case would have a positive slope.

Other factors affecting demand

Considering the effect of price on the magnitude of demand, we have simplified the situation compared to what happens in real life. We assumed that other factors that affect the magnitude of demand remain unchanged. However, in practice, changes in demand depend on a number of factors that are not related to changes in the price of a given product.

Let's return to our example and suppose that in the surveyed group potential buyers of this product, there was a change in the income of their families: wages increased. How will this affect the scale and demand curve?

Under the new conditions, the scale of demand is shown in Table 3-2.

Consideration of the scale of demand allows us to conclude that the pattern of interaction between the magnitude of demand and price has been preserved: an increase in price leads to a decrease in the volume of demand. But now each price value corresponds to a larger amount of demand. In conditions of general income growth, and at low, high, and average prices, more purchases will be made. How will this affect the chart?

Let's build a new demand curve D"D" next to the previous DD curve.

The graph shows that the demand curve has shifted to the right, indicating a change in demand. Now we must make a significant refinement of the two concepts - demand and magnitude of demand - and distinguish between them.

A change in the magnitude of demand is caused only by a change in the price of a given commodity and can be illustrated by movement along the points of the demand curve. For example, moving from point A to point B and C on the DD curve shows that a decrease in the price of a good leads to an increase in the quantity demanded.

The change in demand, its growth or decrease, will be reflected in the new position of the demand curve relative to the original one. An increase in demand, for example, due to an increase in income, will shift the demand curve to the right, and a decrease in income will lead to a decrease in demand, in this case the demand curve will shift to the left.

What factors lead to a shift in the demand curve, i.e., cause an increase or decrease in demand?

1. The level of income of buyers. We have already analyzed the influence of this factor. Here we need to clarify that the growth of incomes of buyers affects the demand for different types of goods differently. Distinguish between "lower" and "normal" goods.

The "inferior" goods include those goods that are usually purchased by people with low incomes. These are less valuable goods, although their quality may be good. For example, “inferior” goods include cereals, bread, pasta, second-hand goods, shoe repair services, etc.

As household incomes rise, the demand for “lower” goods decreases, and the demand curve shifts to the left. People buy less bread, margarine, cereals, replacing them with fruits, vegetables, meat, butter, refuse to repair worn shoes, buying new ones, etc.

“Normal” goods are more valuable, more useful goods. Their consumption reflects high level the welfare of the people. If consumers' incomes rise, they increase their purchases of "normal" goods, such as meats, valuable fish, vegetables, fruits, sports equipment, travel agencies, etc. Demand for these increases, the demand curve shifts upward to the right.

2. Tastes and preferences of consumers. Consumer tastes and preferences change quite often. They depend on successful advertising campaign, explanatory work (for example, about the dangers of smoking), marketing activities related to sales promotion, the emergence of new products, changes in fashion, the season of the year.

3. The demand for goods will change if the prices of other goods that are in any way related to this product change. In this regard, it is necessary to distinguish between interchangeable and complementary goods.

Interchangeable goods are a group of goods that satisfy similar needs. For example, various laundry detergents, certain types of soft drinks, etc. If the price of washing powders increases significantly, the demand for soap will increase, since it will be relatively cheaper. Then the demand curve for soap will shift
to the right. If the price of Pepsi-Cola decreases, the demand for Fanta will decrease and the demand curve for Fanta will shift to the left.

Complementary goods are goods that cannot be consumed one without the other. Examples of complementary goods are cameras and film, tape recorders and cassettes, tennis rackets and tennis balls, and so on. If the price of tennis rackets increases, the demand for balls will fall. Then the demand curve for tennis balls will shift to the left.

4. Expectation of changes in income and prices. The demand for goods is related to the expected changes in income and prices. If a decision is made to increase wages in the coming month, before their incomes rise, people will start buying more goods. They will give up part of their savings, make delayed purchases, which will cause an increase in demand for goods.

The same effect is caused by the expectation of rising prices. In this case, people will try to stock up on goods for future use and spend money that is expected to depreciate in the near future. The demand for goods will increase, whether they are expensive or cheap.

5. Change in the number of buyers. Demand will rise if there is an increase in the number of buyers. So, if a tray with ice cream is brought to the school building, many schoolchildren, passing by, will want to buy this delicacy, since they will not have to run to the nearest supermarket during recess. In this case, the demand for ice cream will increase. More will be bought as its inexpensive varieties, as well as those that are more expensive.

An increase in the birth rate will cause an increase in demand for goods children's assortment.
