  • Supply Curve
    A graphical representation showing the relationship between price and quantity sellers are willing to offer.
  • Demand Curve
    A graphical representation showing the relationship between price and quantity buyers are willing to purchase.
  • Equilibrium Price
    The price at which the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded in a market.
  • Equilibrium Quantity
    The quantity at which the supply and demand curves intersect, indicating market balance.
  • Ambiguity
    A situation where the direction of change for price or quantity cannot be determined after both curves shift.
  • Graphical Analysis
    A visual method for examining the effects of shifts in supply and demand using curves on a graph.
  • Square Shape
    A visual outcome on a graph when both curves are shifted equally, aiding in clear identification of ambiguous variables.
  • Rightward Shift
    A movement of a curve to the right, indicating an increase in supply or demand.
  • Leftward Shift
    A movement of a curve to the left, indicating a decrease in supply or demand.
  • Double Shift
    A scenario where both supply and demand curves are shifted simultaneously on the same graph.
  • Intersection Point
    The spot on a graph where the supply and demand curves cross, indicating equilibrium.
  • Variable
    A factor such as price or quantity whose value is analyzed when curves shift.
  • Notation
    A shorthand method, such as question marks or arrows, used to indicate ambiguity in analysis.
  • Consistent Analysis
    A systematic approach to examining shifts, ensuring reliable identification of ambiguous outcomes.
  • Scenario
    A specific combination of supply and demand shifts used to illustrate possible market outcomes.
