Chapter 4: Demand
"Change in Demand"
Introduction
In this chapter you learned that demand is the desire, ability, and

changes in consumer income, in consumer taste, and in the prices of
related products. An increase or a decrease in the number of buyers
for a product or service will also change demand.
