Reasons for law and demand-
1. Law of diminishing marginal utility - It states that as we consume more and more units of a commodity, the utility derived from each successive unit goes on decreasing. So, demand of a commodity depends on its utility. If the consumer gets more satisfaction, he will pay more.
2. Substitution effect - Substituting one commodity in place of other when it becomes relatively cheaper.
3. Income effect - It refers to effect on demand when real income of the consumer changes due to change in price of the given commodity.
4. Additional customers - When the price of a commodity falls, many new consumers, who were not in a position to buy it earlier due to its high price, starts purchasing it.
5. Different uses - Some commodities like milk, electricity, etc. have several uses, some of which are more important than others.When price of such a good increases, its uses get restricted to the most important purpose and demand for less important uses get reduced. However, when the price of such a commodity decreases, the commodity is put to all its uses, whether important or not.
