In economics, demand is the quantity of a product or service that customers are willing and able to pay. Demand measures how pricing may be set. Supply, on the other hand, is the quantity of a product or service that is offered to the market by a manufacturer or service provider. The idea behind equal prices for unequal distance can make economic sense depending on the supply and demand of the trips. Even though the trip from Denver to Florida is much longer then the trip from Casper to Denver…
Regardless of how much taxes are increased, the GDP will decrease by more than the amount taxed. Since people will be taxed more, they will have less incentive to work and produce, so there will be less production. In turn, there will be less to consume and invest. In other words, the economy would slow down. The question "To what extent?" would be like asking "How long is a piece of string?" The extent of the shrinkage be totally different in both absolute and proportional terms. Each…
When dealing with economics there are two major allocation systems, one of which is the Centrally planned system, and the other is the Market system. The centrally planned economic system is when the economic decisions are made by a state or government instead of the contact between consumers and businesses.

I visited Harmons and first looked at toilet paper, but that was too confusing. There are too many variables ranging from different sizes to different numbers of plys to different strengths. So I settled on Purina Dog Chow. 8.8lbs. @ $10.79 = 1.23 18.5lbs @ $13.59 = .73 42lbs @$34.49 = .82 As you can see this brand of dog food did not follow the logic of larger is cheaper. The large 42-pound bag actually costs more per unit than the mid-size bag. I believe in many instances the smaller size…
A market economy involves having a supply and demand type system involving the law of diminishing returns and comparative advantage. In simple terms this basically means that the nations sharing their goods must know how much of their product they need to manufacture at a time not only to keep up with the demand but also to not go overboard and have too much of their product, because goods don’t remain a constant value if you have more of them, and lastly if both nations specialize their trade…
success. In the same line, liberalization of trade is understood as the concept of allowing trading activities to government forces of the market.

In this respect, people tend to work in different industries. There are those that prefer to work in the services sector, distribution, manufacturing among others. Involvement of people in different areas tends to complement the economy by creating a balance. For instance, when there are people involved with the…
that prices would generally be determined by the impersonal forces of supply and demand, with both buyers and sellers feeling that price was largely beyond their control.” (City upon a hill 54) Supply and demand compels the value of the products. High appeal causes the prices to increase, just as low scarcity of the product and the resources to make it more expensive. One example of this today is oil. Oil is in high demand to a first world to continue some of the high technology. It is also in…
accessorize their wardrobe, just about all of them! Diamonds are not in fact rare, they are merely marketed to make you think that. According to a Diamond Insight Report released in 2013 diamond demand reached a record high of seventy-nine Billion dollars. The diamond business is a completely global supply and demand market with none of the parts of the value chain being in a single country. The rough diamond market, which includes the price of the diamonds before any cut or polish has…
