| Changes to Equillibriums: What happens in "Decrease in Demand"? | D-curve shifts to left, Decrease in Price, Quantity Expands |
| Changes to Equillibriums: What happens in "Increase in Supply"? | S-curve shifts to right, E.Price decrease,E.Q expands |
| Changes to Equillibriums: What happens in "Decrease in Supply"? | S-curve shifts to left, E.Price increase, E.Q contracts |
| What are the 'Changes to Equillibriums'? | -increase in demand, -decrease in demand, -increase in supply, -decrease in supply |
| Demand and Supply: What happens when inventories fall and consumption rises? | Price increases causing Q to contract + O to expand -> Pe |
| What are inventories? | Any unsold stock, also unemployment. |
