Lesson 5: Friday, February 24, 2017

Objective: I can analyze the relationship between supply and demand and market price.

Market Game: Supply and Demand

Directions: Read the directions below and be sure you understand the rules of the game before we play!

The goal for both buyers and sellers in this activity is to make a profit.

Buyers
Your goal is to pay as little for the oil as possible. The highest price you can pay in order not to lose
money is printed on the Buyers Maximum Cards. Each buyer will have only one limit card at a
time. Pick one up from the table that says BUYERS (Maximum) before each transaction!
If you pay a higher price than is printed on the limit card you lose money. DO NOT REVEAL YOUR
LIMIT PRICE, ONLY RECORD IT ON YOUR SCORE SHEET.
When the round starts, try to buy at the lowest price you can. However, you may buy at a price
higher than that on your buyer card in order to obtain oil (with a loss). If a seller accepts your
buying price bid simply record the price agreed by both of you on your score sheet. For example:

On Card In Transaction Profit / (Loss)
(Maximum Limit Price) (Agreed upon price)
$34 $32 +$2

$30 $31 (-$1)

$31 $28


After making and recording a transaction, turn in the buyer card you have and get another buyer card
from the buyer pile. If you have bought no oil during a whole round, get a different buyer card from the
buyer card pile before the start of the next round.

Sellers
Your goal is to sell oil for as high a price as possible. The lowest price you can sell in order not to lose
money is printed on the Sellers Minimum Cards. Each buyer will have only one limit card at a time.
Pick one up from the table that says SELLERS (Minimum) before each transaction!
If you sell oil for a lower price than is printed on the limit card you lose money. DO NOT REVEAL
YOUR LIMIT PRICE, ONLY RECORD IT ON YOUR SCORE SHEET.
When the round starts, try to sell at the highest price you can. However, you may sell at a lower price
than that on your lower card (with a loss). If a buyer accepts your selling price bid simply record the
price agreed by both of you on your score sheet. For example:

On Card In Transaction Profit / (Loss)


(Minimum Limit Price) (Agreed upon price)
$27 $30 +$3

$32 $31 (-$1)

$31 $28

11
After making and recording a transaction, turn in the seller card you have and get another seller card
from the seller pile. If you have sold no oil during a whole round, get a different seller card from the
seller card pile before the start of the next round.

Buyers and Sellers


1. When the teacher says "Start," sellers and buyers are free to move around the room and to make
transactions with one another. Any seller may talk with any buyer.
2. Both buyers and sellers are free to make as many transactions as they want in a round. Remember to put
your card back into the pile after each transaction.
3. You must make a transaction before you can take a new card. You are allowed to take a loss in order to
complete a transaction.
4. Following each transaction, sellers must report their selling price to the talley recorder who will mark
off their selling price on the class tally sheet.
5. During the game, keep track of your progress on the student score sheet. Compute your gains and losses
by taking the difference between the price on your buyer or seller card and the price of the transaction.
6. If you are a buyer, you will make a "profit" if you buy at a price lower than the price shown on your
card. If you buy at a higher price, you suffer a loss.
7. If you are a seller, you will make a "profit" if you sell at a price higher than the price shown on your
card. If you sell at a lower price, you suffer a loss.

It was three weeks before Christmas. Trevor wanted to buy a Kendama for his friend, Wyatt, so he went to
the NEX. The NEX had ten of the new, limited edition blue Kendamas for $50/each. The Blue Kendamas sold
out in one hour. Trevor thought $50 was too expensive anyway, so he went to Razor. They had 100 pink
Kendamas, and they were only $10. They were dusty, and looked like they had been sitting on the shelf for
a long time.

Using what you know about Supply and Demand, answer the following questions:

9. What is the supply of Kendamas for NEX and Razor?
