EGT1 Task 2 A) Elasticity of Demand pertains to the relationship of price and need of a product. If a price increases will the demand increase or decrease? When a demand is elastic‚ it means even a small change in price can cause a large change in the quantities consumers purchase. (McConnell‚ pg. 77) So for example in an elastic demand if you reduce the price of a good the demand will increase a large amount and revenue then increases. When the is inelastic‚ according to McConnell it means when

EGT1 Task 4 The world is changing in many different areas‚ and one of the many different ways it’s changing is how businesses change and continue to grow.

Marginal Analysis Economics & Global Business Applications‚ EGT 1‚ Task 1 A. Explanation of profit maximization The total revenue‚ TR‚ is the overall amount of all sources of a business’s income. It consists of total sales or profit‚ over a period of time. The TR can be calculated by taking the price and multiplying it by the quantity. For example‚ if a business decides to retail another product and the total revenue does increase‚ thus the marginal revenue would be greater than zero

change in the total cost from an additional unit that is produced by a firm. Example‚ the total cost when 10 units are produced is $30‚ and total cost incurred when 11 units are produced is $33. Marginal Cost in this case will be (33-30)/(11-10) = $3. One can compute the total cost if the marginal cost and the number of units produced are given. If the marginal cost of a product is zero than the total cost will not change with an increase in the number of products manufactured. Profit Maximization:

change in demand for an item is equal to the change in price. In this example the price of milk is reduced by 3% which in turn results in an increase of demand by 3% t. When the change in price percent is less than the change in demand percent‚ this is referred to as inelasticity. For this example‚ let’s say we have a 6% reduction in the price of bread but it only increases the demand by 3%. B. Discuss cross price elasticity as it pertains to substitute goods and complementary goods. Cross-price

Elasticity: The real stretch play. We have all heard the phrase‚ “Stretch your dollar”‚ but have you ever stopped to consider what all goes on behind the scenes in order to make this stretch occur? What rules of economics and finance play into making your hard-earned dollar stretch to its maximum value? While the topic of stretching your money spans across all areas of business‚ finance‚ and economics‚ I will focus on the fundamental principle of economic stretch; elasticity. Elasticity in economics
