This unit explores how changes in determinants can shift the demand curve and delves into different elasticities of demand, including price, income, cross, and promotional elasticity.

Marshallian Utility Approach: Examines how consumers make choices based on utility maximization.
Indifference Curve Approach: Analyzes consumer equilibrium, price consumption curves, income consumption curves, and how consumers react to price changes through substitution and income effects.

- Equilibrium Analysis:
Analyzes short-run and long-run equilibrium for firms and industries, including the determination of the short-run supply curve and measuring producer surplus under perfect competition.
