Meaning of Demand
Demand can be defined as the quantity of a commodity that an individual is willing and able to buy at a specific price within a given period of time. Demand is more than the desire to have something. It must be backed with the ability to pay the price.The Law of Demand
This law states that there is inverse relationship between the price and the quantity of produce demanded. It therefore means that the higher the price the lower the quantity demanded.The Demand Schedule

Demand schedule shows the amount of a commodity that a person will buy at various prices in a given period.You are viewing an excerpt of this lesson.
