Define Demand schedule

Question

What is Demand schedule and how it is associated to demand curve?

Answer 1

Demand schedule: The demand schedule is a table which exhibits the relationship among the price of a good and the quantity demanded. Demand curve is the downward-sloping line associating price and quantity demanded. The demand schedule and demand curve are associated since the demand curve is just a graph exhibiting the points in the demand schedule.

The demand curve slopes downward since of the law of demand—other things equivalent, whenever the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded of the good drops/falls. People purchase less of a good if its price increases both as they can’t afford to purchase as much and since they switch to buying other goods.
