Financial assets are the legal claims on the real assets in our economy and include such notable items as corporate stocks and bonds, government securities, and money.

QUANTITY DEMANDED

The specific quantity of a good that buyers are willing and able to buy at a specific demand price. The key word is "specific." Quantity demanded and demand price form matched pairs--one quantity, one price. The combination of all price-quantity pairs is then what constitutes demand. The demand curve is a plot of the quantity demanded at each demand price.
