Law of demand The law of demand shows a functional relationship between price and quantity demanded of a commodity.
( 2) Market demand schedule Market demand schedule is a table which shows various quantities of a commodity that all the buyers (consumers) will purchase at different prices during a given period. It is composed of the demand schedules of all individuals purchasing that commodity. It can be obtained by adding up the quantities purchased at different prices by all the households in the market.

Demand Curve and d erivation of demand curve
Types of demand curve:
Why Does the Demand Curve Slope Downwards to the Right? 1 2 3
Why Does the Demand Curve Slope Downwards to the Right? 4 5
We may observe that more quantity of a commodity is demanded at a higher price, and less of it is demanded a lower price. In these situations, ,the inverse relationship between price and the amount purchased does not hold good. These are known as exceptions to the law of demand in such situations, demand curve may not have a negative slope; it may slope upward showing positive relation. Exceptions to the Law of Demand
Exceptions to the Law of Demand
Movement along the demand curve When the amount demanded changes (rises- or falls) as a result of change in its own price, while other determinants of demand (like income, tastes and prices of related goods) remain constant, it is known as Change in Quantity Demanded Movement along the Demand Curve It may be of two types: Extension of demand Contraction of demand.
