Question: Imagine a small town where all residents buy their groceries from two stores: GreenGrocer and Fresh Finds. Initially, both stores charge the same prices and have the same number of customers. One month, GreenGrocer decides to decrease the price of all their fruits and vegetables by 10% to attract more customers. Assuming the quality of goods and the level of service at both stores remain constant, answer the following: 1. What economic principle explains why customers might start shopping more at GreenGrocer than at Fresh Finds? 2. If Fresh Finds does not change its prices, what could be the likely outcome for its business? 3. How might Fresh Finds respond to GreenGrocer's price reduction to maintain its customer base?

Nominal GDP, Real GDP, GDP Deflator, Inflation rate using GDP deflator, CPI, Inflation rate using CPI. (Hint: i) to calculate CPI use base year fixed quantity Hot dogs 200 and Hamburgers 200, ii) To calculate inflation rate, use percentage change in price level between two years.)
Tourism Economics also explores the concept of seasonality, which refers to the fluctuating demand for tourism services throughout the year. Many destinations experience peak and off-peak seasons, impacting businesses' revenue and employment levels. For instance, a ski resort may see high demand in winter but low demand in summer. This seasonality can create challenges for sustainable economic development in tourism-dependent regions. To address these challenges, destinations often: A) Close during off-peak seasons B) Develop alternative tourism attractions for different seasons C) Ignore the impact of seasonality D) Focus only on peak season revenue
