brings to mind the old saying‚ “If you are a farmer‚ the weather is always bad.” Discuss the sense in which this saying might be true. (Hint: What happens to price if there is a bumper crop? What is the price elasticity of demand for wheat? Is it inelastic or elastic? What happens to total revenue if there is an increase in supply?) If a product like corn or wheat has a bumper crop season‚ the selling price for the good would fall. This is because a bumper crop season indicates that the product had

production. If the demand for his products is inelastic‚ specific quantities can be produced while he has to produce different quantities if the demand is elastic. • Helps in fixing the prices of different goods - It helps a producer to fix his price of his product. If the demand of his product is inelastic he can fix a higher price and if the demand is elastic he has to charge a lower price. Thus price increase policy is to be followed if the demand is inelastic in the market and price decrease policy

how much the quantity demanded in response to a change in price‚ price elasticity of demand for housing is inelastic‚ there will be only a relatively small decrease in housing demand in response of the change of its price. The price elasticity of demand is determined by the availability of substitutes‚ there are few close substitutes available‚ demand for houses is more likely to be inelastic.
