By referring to the textbook we use throughout our course as well as resources available on the internet, I was able to gather information on the definitions of demand and quantity demanded. The factors that affect movement along the curve and shift of the curve have been outlined in the following pages of this report. Demand and quantity demanded are different in terminologies and also literally. The demand and quantity demanded curve have differences and this can be seen in the figures I have pasted below. What is the economy? It is the study of the allocation, distribution and consumption of resources, capital and investment, and the management of factors. of production.
