Theory of Supply and Demand: This theory tells us how consumer preferences determine consumer demand for commodities or products, while the supply of commodities is determined by business costs.

Price & Quantity: The relationship that exists between price and quantity bought is known as the Demand Schedule. In the general case, the quantity demanded increases with the decrease in price. Thus, there is an inverse relationship between Quantity and Price.

Demand Curve: The graphical representation of the demand schedule is known as the Demand Curve.

Law of Downward – sloping demand: When the commodity price is raised (other things being constant), buyers tend to buy less quantity of the commodity. Similarly, when the price is lowered, other things being constant, buyers tend to buy in increased quantity.

Market Demand curve: This curve follows or obeys the Law of Downward- Slopping demand.

Factors that influence the Demand Curve are:

• Average levels of income
• Tastes or Preferences 
• The size of the market/population
• The prices & availability of related goods
• Special Influences

Supply Schedule: It relates the quantity supplied of a good to its market price, other things being constant. 

Shifts in Supply: When there are changes in factors other than the price of goods that affect the quantity supplied it shifts the supply in the market.

Supply Schedule or Supply Curve: This curve explains the relationship between the market price and the amount of a commodity that the producers are willing to produce and sell, other things being constant.

Factors that influence the Demand Curve are:

• Prices of inputs and technological advances
• Cost of Production
• Government Policy
• Prices of related goods
• Special Factors like weather influence farming and agro-industry

Supply of commodity increases when the price of supply increases at each market price or vice-versa.

Equilibrium price & quantity: Supply & demand interact to produce an equilibrium price and quantity.

Market Equilibrium: It comes at that price & quantity where the supply and demand forces are in balance. In other words, the amount that buyers want to buy the commodity at is just equal to the amount that sellers are ready to sell. It is also called as the Market Clearing Price.
