@TheGreenieGuru hey,here is exactly explained ur thought, your case is involved in substitute goods,if a decreasing demand for panadol, it will shift to the left,in contrast,an increasing demand for and alternative cheaper product which demand curve will shift to the right.xxxxxx

Not necessarily true. I think there are some cases where a products price can change its demand.... For example, if a supermarket decides to increase the price of panadol (a painkiller) there could be a decreasing demand for panadol and an increasing demand for an alternative cheaper product that offers the same benefit such as nurofen. Any thoughts? :)

@mitchwhite your dumb

Thankx that really helped

@mitchwhite higher interest in mortage will of course lower your willingness to buy and vice versa

This is a simple concept that I had failed to grasp after several weeks of study. Thank you for making it clear!

@mjmfoodie oh... got it. thanks a lot!
@mjmfoodie hi, thanks for the wonderful videos :) I have a question though- isn't the demand curve supposed to have the x-axis labelled as 'Quantity' and not 'Quantity Demanded'? I've googled this and a lot of variations come out. I'd greatly appreciate it if this could be explained.

@juuunice When I introduce demand, I label the graph "Quantity demanded" to emphasize that relationship from the buyer's perspective; similarly, for supply, I label it "Quantity supplied" to emphasize the price-quantity supplied relationship. But when I put the two together in the complete market diagram, I drop any subscripts, and just use "Q," because whether it's the # of apples someone wants to buy, or the # of apples someone wants to sell, it's still just some number of apples, right?

The triangle is the Greek letter delta, the mathematician's shorthand for "change in." So the part you have in parentheses is exactly correct.
