Mastering Graphs and Formulas

Visuals Are Your Friend

Most microeconomics questions use graphs and simple formulas. Practice drawing supply and demand curves, shifting them, and finding equilibrium. Get comfortable with basic formulas for elasticity, costs, and revenues.

Pro Tips

  • Label axes and curves clearly.
  • Memorize key equations (like \( E_d = \frac{%\ \text{change in quantity demanded}}{%\ \text{change in price}} \)).
  • Sketching graphs can often help you find the answer faster than words alone.

Examples

  • Drawing a quick supply and demand diagram to visualize how a tax affects the market.

  • Using the elasticity formula to interpret a multiple-choice question.
