economy. This paper will discuss the examples of the supply and demand curves as they were presented in the simulation. In addition‚ factors affecting these curves such as changes in population‚ government‚ employment‚ and trend all take part in shifting these curves causing pricing or rental rates to increase and decrease accordingly. The concepts of microeconomics that trigger the changes in pricing which in turn causes shifts on both curves will also be discussed in detail. Finally‚ the paper

Explain whether each of the following events represents a (i) shift of the demand curve or (ii) a movement along the demand curve.

For the rest of your life you will be creating your brand: please think about what you are saying about yourself when you do any work for someone else! 1. Consider a monopolist where the market demand curve for the produce is given by P = 520 – 2Q. This monopolist has marginal costs that can be expressed as MC = 100 + 2Q and total costs that can be expressed as TC = 100Q + Q2 + 50. a. Given the above information‚ what is this monopolist’s profit

ECON 1. (Demand Under Perfect Competition) what type of demand curve does a perfectly competitive firm face? Why? A horizontal or a perfectly elastic‚ demand curve. A perfectly competitive firm is called a price taker because that firm must “take‚” or accept‚ the market price- as in “take it or leave it.” 2. Explain the different options a firm has to minimize losses in the short run. A firm in perfect competition has no control over the market place. Sometimes that price may be so low
