price and quantity demanded. The law of demand states that, if all other factors remain equal, the higher the price, the less people will demand a good. In other words, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. The amount customers buy at a higher price is less because, as the price of a good goes up, so does the opportunity cost of buying that good. The demand curve shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded; therefore, the demand curve is a downward slope. The…

less labor at lower wages and more labor at higher wages, which is represented by an upward sloping labor supply curve. Employers, who demand labor as one particular input to production, will demand less labor at higher wages and more labor at lower wages, which is represented by a downward sloping labor demand curve.Unlike the market for goods and services, the demand curve in the labor market represents firms, while the supply curve represents individuals, rather than the other way…

competition price and quantity are determined by the intersection of the demand and supply curves which is known as equilibrium where as in monopoly the equilibrium quantity falls, and the equilibrium price rises. In contrast, monopoly market profit maximise quantity is at the point where the marginal revenue (MR) curve intersects the marginal cost (MC) curve and the profit-maximizing price is determined by the point on the demand curve that corresponds to this quantity. This situation of the…
