If your have a desire to buy a certain commodity‚ say a car‚ but you do not have the adequate means to pay for it‚ it will

Price Elasticity of Supply * Price Elasticity of Supply: * The degree of price elasticity of supply depends on how easily - and therefore quickly - producers can shift resources between alternative uses. Unlike PED‚ there is no Total Revenue Test for Price Elasticity of Supply. * Because there is a direct relationship between Price & Total revenue‚ they always move together. DETERMINANT OF PRICE ELASTICITY OF SUPPLY: TIME! THREE PERIODS: Market period--> short run --> long

Answer: The given function is S=K*YZ/P at the given values of; k=100 Y=$11‚000 Z=$1‚200 P=$20‚000 the value of S is: S=100(11000*1200)/20000= $66‚000 so there would be a sales of $66‚000 at above given values. 5. A firm experienced the demand shown in the following table. a. Fill in the table by preparing forecasts based on a five-year moving average‚ a three-year moving average‚ and exponential smoothing (with a w = 0.9 and a w = 0.3).

Elasticity is the ability of an object or substance to return quickly to its original shape and size after being bent‚ stretched‚ or squashed. When an elastic material is deformed due to an external force‚ it experiences internal forces that oppose the deformation and restore it to its original state if the external force is no longer applied. There are various elastic moduli‚ such as Young’s modulus‚ the shear modulus‚ and the bulk modulus‚ all of which are measures of the inherent stiffness of

CHAPTER 2A DEMAND ANALYSIS 1. Introduction: • Demand for goods and services constitutes one side of the product market ; supply of goods and services forms the other. • If there is no demand for a good‚ there is no need to produce that good. • If the demand for a good exceeds its supply‚ there may be need to expand production. • Production generally takes time and so one has to know the likely demand for a relevant product at a future data to

Note: Write down all of your calculations. According to our Textbooks and given information‚ When P = 8000‚ A = 64‚ PX = 9000‚ I = 5000‚ we can use regression equation‚ QD = 20000 - 10*8000 + 1500*64 + 5*9000 + 10*5000 = 131‚000 Price elasticity = (P/Q)*(dQ/dP) From regression equation‚ dQ/dP = -10. So‚ price

Supply and demand are the starting point of all economic investigation. It is important to be able to level the two. Supply is the different qualities that a producer will make available to the market at different prices. Demand is the various quantities that a consumer is willing to buy at various prices.
