section_name: Demand schedule
paragraph_text: Demand schedule
  
  A demand schedule, depicted graphically as the demand curve, represents the amount of some goods that buyers are willing and able to purchase at various prices, assuming all determinants of demand other than the price of the good in question, such as income, tastes and preferences, the price of substitute goods and the price of complementary goods, remain the same. According to the law of demand, the demand curve is almost always represented as downward sloping, meaning that as price decreases, consumers will buy more of the good.
  
  Just like the supply curves reflect marginal cost curves, demand curves are determined by marginal utility curves.
