What is demand schedule?



Demand schedule:
Demand schedule is a table showing the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded per period of time, other things remaining the same.

Let, imaginary demand equation, Qd = 10- 2p. In this equation, the different value of independent variable P gives different values of dependent variables. By presenting both values, we can make an imaginary demand schedule.
So, imaginary demand schedule:
   Quantity Demand (unit)
     Price(Tk.)
    Point
        8
           1
       a
        6
           2
       b
        4
           3
       c

From imaginary demand schedule, price increases 1, 2 and 3, quantity demand decreases 8, 6 and 4. By this we get point a, b and c.

At last we can say that the inverse relationship between price and quantity is represented by a table is called demand schedule.
