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

Why the aggregate demand curve slopes downward: To answer this question‚ we recall that the components of economy’s GDP: Y = C + I + G + NX We assume that government spending is fixed. The other three components: consumption‚ investment‚ and net exports depend on economic conditions and on the price level. 1. The price level and consumption: The wealth effect: Ex: The nominal value of a dollar is fixed‚ yet‚ the real value of a dollar is not fixed. Coca Pizza 1 $ 1 0.5$ 2 → A decrease

Assignment 2 Limitations of the S-Curve 1. Companies use the technology S-curve analysis as a tool in planning a technology strategy for the organization. It has been observed that technology develops in an S-curve pattern. In the beginning progress for any new technology is slow. As an expertise in the technology builds up‚ progress moves at a rapid pace. After a while‚ however‚ the technology matures and progress slows (Shane‚ 2009). S-curve analysis is not only used to plot the development

For example‚ what quantity of inventory to order is a short run decision. Whether or not to build a new factory would be considered a long run decision. 1.

yield curve and how is it made. The yield curve‚ is a graph that depicts the relationship between bond yields and maturities‚ is an important tool in fixed-income investing and attempting to predict future recessions given its track record. Investors use the yield curve as a reference point for forecasting interest rates‚ pricing bonds and creating strategies for boosting total returns. The yield curve has also become a reliable leading indicator of economic activity.(PIMCO) A yield curve is a line

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
