This document discusses demand and supply from the perspective of firms and households. It defines firms as organizations that transform resources into products, and entrepreneurs as people who organize and manage firms. Households are the consuming units that demand goods and services. The circular flow diagram shows the connections between firms, households, input markets, and output markets. Demand is determined by price, income, wealth, tastes and preferences. The law of demand states that as price increases, quantity demanded decreases. A shift in demand occurs when a determinant of demand other than price changes, causing the demand curve to shift.
