The Wonders of Supply and Demand

        Economics is the study of how people meet their wants and needs. When evaluating this, one needs to take to account 3 basic questions: who? what? how? These three questions fall back into two essential branches of a market: supply and demand. Supply is what producers make, while demand is what people want and need. Both supply and demand are measured with price and quantity. price is the monetary value of products decided by the market( sellers v. buyers). Quantity is the amount of a product.

The Graph above represents both supply and demand. The red line is supply while the blue stands for demand. Every time prices of production increase, the quantity of the product also increases for the supply line. Every time prices go down on the demand line, the quantity goes up because it motivates consumers to buy more of a cheap products.
