Explain why you think that the demand of one product may diminish as prices are increased
Identify a product or service for which you use on a regular basis. Discuss the product/service in terms of the Law of Demand from your perspective as the customer and consumer of the item. How does price impact your quantity demanded? In other words, what is your change in quantity demanded as a result in an increase or decrease in the product’s price? What are some shift factors of demand (anything other than price) that can adjust your overall demand for the product?
Relationship between changes in price and corresponding changes in quantity that consumers will demand is
What happens to demand for normal goods when there is rise in price of substitute goods
If cereal is normal good, this will cause the demand for cereal to increase or decrease.
Evaluate the behavior of consumers in terms of the demand for products
Find an article in The Wall Street Journal or The Economist that was published after 12/1/23 describing a change in price or quantity or both in some market. Analyze the situation using economic reasoning. A reference must be provided for the article Has there been an increase or decrease in demand? Factors that could shift the demand curve include changes in preferences, changes in income, changes in the price of substitutes or complements, or changes in the number of consumers in the market. Has there been an increase or decrease in supply? Factors that could shift the supply curve include changes in costs of materials, wages, or other inputs; changes in technology; or changes in the number of firms in the market. Draw a supply-and-demand graph to explain this change. Be sure to label your graph and clearly indicate which curve shifts. If done neatly, you can draw the graph by hand and paste it in your document
Agree or disagree, a decrease in supply causes the price of coffe to fall
You run a small business and would like to predict what will happen to the quantity demanded for your product if you raise your price. While you do not know the exact demand curve for your product, you do know that in the first year you charged $51 and sold 1,304 units and that in the second year you charged $37 and sold 1,780 units. If you plan to lower your price by 10 percent, what would be a reasonable estimate of what will happen to quantity demanded in percentage terms? Incorporate the point elasticity of demand using the initial price and quantity in your answer. The quantity demanded will increase by percent. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Find out the factors that affect the demand of this product OLIVE OIL
Choose a product which you are familiar with. Using the internet for research (please cite your source), what is the price elasticity of demand for this product or group of products? What does that mean with respect to a 10% increase in the price of this good? What happens to quantity demanded? Which of the 4 determinants of price elasticity of demand do you believe drives this outcome about the good's price elasticity? If there is more than one determining factor, please explain your reasoning. [for many goods, all of the 4 determinants come into play - I just want you to choose the one or two that you believe are most relevant).
