Respond to this post. Hello Professor, A rise in consumption in the economy would cause an increase in aggregate demand. Therefore, when consumers spend money on everyday goods and services, it not only helps to stimulate economic growth, but it could also present potential issues like unsustainable debt levels or inflation. I believe that it would be beneficial to consider such factors and adopt a purchasing strategy to help navigate the challenges posed by inflation or unsustainable debt levels. First, do you think our business will be affected because inflation is rising? How? Yes, I do believe that the business will be affected because of inflationary pressures. Inflation rising will affect the cost of goods, services, and labor, which could lead to higher operating expenses. The potential reduction of profit margin because of inflation could lead to a smaller percentage of revenue being retained as profit. Therefore, inflation rising will force us to raise prices for consumers, and affect sales and demand. If inflation continues to rise, should we buy more of the bigger and pricier cars for the event that will take place in a couple of months, or should we get less expensive cars? And why? I believe purchasing less expensive cars would prove to be beneficial. In a rising inflation environment, buying less expensive vehicles will help us to maintain some type of financial stability. Prioritizing necessities is crucial! We must consider inventory costs, sales volume, market trends, and consumer sensitivity if we are going to remain profitable. And lastly, since it is projected that there will be a shortage in the auto industry, this means we should buy more cars to sell because this makes them cheaper for our customers, right? I disagree with purchasing more vehicles because purchasing more vehicles does not warrant them to be cheaper. When looking at a shortage, the demand outpaces the supply and raises prices versus lowering prices. Therefore, buying more cars might not make them cheaper for consumers. Plus, a shortage could mean that the acquiring of more cars might be costly and challenging, which could place a strain on our finances.
