question
demand function equation
answer
QD=g(P1, P2, ... Pn, Income, Taste and Preferences)
question
Change in Demand
answer
The whole function changes so the whole demand curve changes
question
change in quantity demanded
answer
A change along the curve. The function stays the same, the curve just changed.
question

answer
QS= g(P1, Plabor, Pkapital, Technology, and N)

answer
Qfi = h(P, Plabor, Pkapital, technology)

answer
P = Marginal Variable Product
question
Factor input: we will produce if...
answer
Average Value Product > Price.

Market Demand Function
answer
Qd = f(Py, Px, Px2... Pn, I, T&P, # of C, Idist, T+Pd)
question
Change in Supply

The actual supply function changes, so the entire curve changes
question
Change in quantity supplied
answer
