PRODUCTION POSSIBILITY CURVE. In economics‚ the Production Possibility Curve (PPC) is based under the field of macroeconomics. The production possibility curve (PPC) is also termed as the production possibility frontier (PPF)‚ a production possibility boundary or sometimes called product transformation curve. It is defined as a curve that illustrates the possibility of producing two goods or services within a specified time with all the resources given such as (labour‚ land‚ capital and the technical

Market Equilibrium Process Paper Ronald S. Albergo ECO 561 2/11/2013 Kevin McKinley Introduction Understanding how market equilibrium is maintained is essential for business managers. As a manager‚ it is important to consider how economic principles‚ and specifically supply and demand‚ are as a part of everyday business decisions. In the following paragraphs there will be a description of the economic concepts of supply‚ demand‚ and market equilibrium and discuss their relationship to real

MARKET EQUILIBRIUM Consumers and producers react differently to price changes. Higher prices tend to reduce demand while encouraging supply‚ and lower prices increase demand while discouraging supply. Market equilibrium in this case refers market state where the supply in the market is equal to the demand in the market. Economic theory suggests that‚ in a free market there will be a single price which brings demand and supply into balance‚ called equilibrium price. If a market is at equilibrium

A price ceiling is a government-imposed limit on the price charged for a product. Governments intend price ceilings to protect consumers from conditions that could make necessary commodities unattainable. However‚ a price ceiling can cause problems if imposed for a long period without controlled rationing. Price ceilings can produce negative results when the correct solution would have been to increase supply. Misuse occurs when a government misdiagnoses a price as too high when the real problem

Spotlight on the theory Indifference Curve Analysis The aim of indifference curve analysis is to analyse how a rational consumer chooses between two goods. In other words‚ how the change in the wage rate will affect the choice between leisure time and work time. Indifference analysis combines two concepts; indifference curves and budget lines (constraints) The indifference curve An indifference curve is a line that shows all the possible combinations of two goods between which a person is

February 25‚ 2013 Lab: Equilibrium of Forces Purpose/Objective: The objective of this lab was to test the first condition of equilibrium for a set of concurrent coplanar forces‚ prove Lami’s Theorem‚ and to determine an unknown mass using rules of equilibrium. Procedure: In the lab‚ we wanted to find at what angles three separate weights would create a net zero force on a force table so that the ring holding the weights was exactly centered in the middle

Housego Phillips‚ a New Zealand born world renowned economist turns 101 years old this month (born on 18th November 1914). The Phillip Curve was published by him in 1958 as a case for monetary neutrality shown in negative‚ which still holds good for research work in macroeconomics and review of monetary policies for relevant agencies across the world. The Phillip Curve formed the basis for explaining that money might just not be neutral as largely believed by economists. It is popularly yet implicitly

Laws of Supply and Demand The market price of a good is determined by both the supply and demand for it. In the world today supply and demand is perhaps one of the most fundamental principles that exists for economics and the backbone of a market economy. Supply is represented by how much the market can offer. The quantity supplied refers to the amount of a certain good that producers are willing to supply for a certain demand price. What determines this interconnection is how much of a

Limitations of the Lorenz Curve The Lorenz Curve illustrates the degree of equality (or inequality) of distribution of income in an economy. It plots the cumulative percentage of income received by cumulative shares of the population and includes a straight line to illustrate perfect income equality. Thus‚ the closer the Lorenz curve is to the straight line‚ the greater the equality in income distribution‚ while‚ the further away it is from the straight line‚ the more unequal the distribution
