Demand curve as marginal benefit curve
[Voiceover] In all of our conversations about demand curves so far, I've been generally talking about price driving quantities.발음듣기
So for example, we've been saying, using say this demand curve right here for a new car in terms of how many would be sold per day, we would say things like, "Well look, if we price it at $60,000 per car," this is in thousands of dollars.발음듣기
The way that I've been talking about it is given a price, how many are we actually going to sell?발음듣기
We're going to look at the exact same demand curve, the exact same relationship between price and quantity, but we're going to conceptualize it in our heads in a slightly different way.발음듣기
To think of it that way, imagine that we are the producers of this given model of a new car.발음듣기
When you ask that question you're like, "Look if you only allowed one car to be sold each week, you determine that in that week there is going to be somebody, somebody's going to think that it's worth "$60,000 to buy that car."발음듣기
That person, they're willingness to pay, that person is going to be willing to trade $60,000.발음듣기
They're going to be willing to forego what else they could have bought for that $60,000 and instead they want that car.발음듣기
Well, if you wanted to sell two units, you could definitely sell one unit for $60,000, assuming that you could get that first person, but that second person, this might have been the person that just wants a car so badly it just resonated with them in some way.발음듣기
For that second unit, the second person who is going to need to buy your car, might not be as excited about it.발음듣기
So if you wanted to sell two units, if you insist on selling two units, and if you're assuming you're going to give the same price for everyone.발음듣기
Assuming you want to give the same price to everyone, you're going to have to sell your car for $50,000.발음듣기
More than the benefit for them, but if you want two people, now you're going to have to set this up for $50,000.발음듣기
Well, if we price it at $50,000, we'll definitely get those first two, but the third person might not jump.발음듣기
The third person isn't going to be as excited about it or need it as much as these first two.발음듣기
To get that next buyer, and it could be multiple buyers buying each unit or it could be one buyer buying all of the units.발음듣기
Maybe it's some type of a car rental company saying, "Oh, we don't need to get ... For three of these cars I'm not as excited about it anymore.발음듣기
This is really the same marginal benefit that we talked about when we talked about the PPF, the Production Possibilities Frontier.발음듣기
In that, we talked about it very explicitly in terms of trade off, in terms of opportunity cost.발음듣기
Here we're measuring the marginal benefit in terms of price, but price really can be viewed as a foregone opportunity.발음듣기
If you spend $40,000 on this car, you're making the decision not to spend $40,000 on something else.발음듣기
So really what we're doing, is at any point in this curve, this really is the marginal benefit for that next buyer.발음듣기
If we want to go from two to three units, we're going to have to price it at the marginal benefit of that third unit to the market and it could be the marginal benefit to that next consumer.발음듣기
I'm going to leave you there in this video, but what I'm going to think about is depending on where you price it, let's say that we decide that we want to sell four units every week.발음듣기
So we say, "Well look, to get that fourth person to buy this car, we have to price the car at $30,000."발음듣기
What we're going to talk about in the next video is if you did that, if this is where you decide to price it so that you can sell four units, these other people got really good deals.발음듣기
The third unit could have gone for a little bit less than the second unit, but still more than what you ended up selling things for.발음듣기
