2. Market Demand Function
• Individual Demand Function : An individual’s demand function refers to the quantities of a
commodity demanded at various prices, given his income, prices of related goods and
tastes. It is expressed as :
D=f(P)
• Market Demand Function : Market demand function refers to the total demand for a good or
service of all the buyers taken together. The market demand function may be expressed
mathematically as :
Dx = f(Px , Pr, M, T, A, U)
Where,
Dx = quantity demanded for commodity x
f = functional relation
Px = price of commodity x
Pr = price of related commodities
M = the money income of the consumer
T = the tastes and preferences of the consumer
A = the advertisement effect
U = unknown variables
