Task 2. Read and retell the text.
A market is any place where individuals buy and sell goods and services.
There are all kinds of markets in our economic world.
All markets, though, have
some common economic principles. The price is what you have to pay for something
in order to get it.
Consumers are the ones who provide the demand for an item. Demand is the amount
or quantity of goods and services consumers are willing and able to buy at various
prices.
Generally, the higher the price, the less consumers will buy o f an item.
The opposite of this principle also applies:
The lower price, the more consumers
will buy. At the higher price some consumers will simply decide not to buy. Others
will buy less of the item still others may try substitutes.
The law of demand states
that consumers will generally buy less of an item at a higher price than
at a lower
price.
Producers are influenced to supply goods or services by the prices in the market. The
supply is the amount or quantity of goods and services that producers will provide
at various prices. Producers must receive a price for their goods
and services that
will cover their costs and provide a profit in order to stay in business. They look at
price as a barometer that tells them how much of a good or service to produce.
Producers will generally produce less of an item at a lower price than they will at a
higher price. The law of supply states that the higher the price, the more producers
will supply; the lower the price, the less they will supply.
