Demand Schedule
Demand Schedule
Demand schedule can be defined as a table showing the relationship between prices and the quantity of that commodity demanded. There are two (2) types of demand schedule namely:
1) Individual Demand Schedule:
This specifies the units of a good or service that an individual is willing and able to purchase at alternative prices during a given period of time. Example:
Rosemary's Individual Demand Schedule For Tins of Milk
| Price Per Milk in ₦ | Quantity Demanded |
| 100 | 10 |
| 80 | 20 |
| 60 | 30 |
| 40 | 40 |
| 20 | 50 |
2) Market Demand Schedule:
This is also known as an aggregate or total or composite demand schedule. It reflects the collective wants of people in a market area and is the sum of the quantities demanded by all individuals in the market at alternative prices. Example:
Market Demand Schedule For Tins of Milk
| Price Per Tin | Dauda | Buba | Abraham | Fortune | Musa | Total Commodity Purchased |
| 100 | 10 | 15 | 6 | 16 | 20 | 67 |
| 80 | 20 | 25 | 10 | 24 | 40 | 119 |
| 60 | 30 | 35 | 15 | 32 | 60 | 172 |
| 40 | 40 | 45 | 20 | 38 | 80 | 223 |
