Demand Function
Math for Business
DEMAND FUNCTION
Demand Function :
demand in terms of function shows the relationship between the quantity
of goods demanded at various price levels (Ceteris Paribus)
The effect of price on the quantity demanded follows the law of demand
which states that if the price of an item increases, the quantity demanded
of a good decreases
Math for Business
DEMAND FUNCTION
In general, the demand function is expressed by:
Qdx = a – bPx
Description :
Qdx = Total of demand quantity
Px = Selling price of goods / Unit
a = constant
b = Slope
Math for Business
DEMAND FUNCTION FORMULA
Q – Q1 = P – P1
Q 2 – Q1 P2 – P1
PRACTICE
When the price of goods is Rp. 5 / unit, the quantity demanded is 30 units. an increase in the price of goods to
Rp.10 / unit, causes the quantity demanded to decrease to 20 units.
The Questions :
1. What is the demand function of the item and describe it?
2. Determine how much of the good is demanded at the prices of Rp. 8 and Rp. 12?
3. If the number of items desired is 35 units, what is the selling price that should be set?
OUTLINE
Supply Function
Math for Business
SUPPLY FUNCTION
Supply Function :
Supply in terms of the supply function shows the relationship between the number of goods offered and the
price level (Ceteris Paribus).
The effect of price on the quantity supplied follows the law of supply which states that if the price of an item
increases, the quantity supplied will increase (Ceteris Paribus).
SUPPLY FUNCTION
In general, the supply function is expressed by :
Qsx = a + bPx
Description :
Qsx = number of items offered
Px = Selling price of good / unit
a = constant
b = slope
PRACTICE
When the price of goods in the market is Rp 5 / unit, none of the producers are willing to offer their goods in the
market. when the price of goods is increased to Rp 10 / unit will cause an increase in supply by 20 units.
The Questions :
1. Determine how the supply function and describe it!
2. Determine how many items are offered when the price of goods is Rp 50 / unit!
3. At what price should the good be sold if the quantity supplied is 50 units?

MARKET EQUILIBRIUM
Math for Business
MARKET EQUILIBRIUM
The interaction between supply and demand in the market results in a condition known as market
equilibrium
Under conditions of market equilibrium, the following two conditions are produced:
1. quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied (Qd = Qs)
2. the price of the goods demanded is the same as the price of the goods supplied (Pd = Ps)
Graphically the condition of market equilibrium is shown by the following this graphic image.
PRACTICE
Based on previous information where:
Qd = 40 – 2P and Qs = -10 + 2P
The Questions :
1. determine the market equilibrium price and quantity!
2. Draw a graph of the condition of the market equilibrium!
