Demand: Quantities of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at various prices.

Factors that may lead to a shift in demand:
O Income normal goods (an increase in income leads to an increase in quantity demanded)
Inferior goods (an increase in income leads to a decrease in quantity demanded)

O Price of related goods (complementary goods and substitutes)

O Consumer tastes and habits (do you like or dislike the good, addictive goods)

O Expectations (income and prices)

O Number of buyers (size of the population)

Only a change in price will lead to a movement along the demand curve.
