When we look at elastic or inelastic we need to understand the difference between both of them in economics point of view and understanding between both. According to the OCR elastic is “when the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price”. (158). Now, inelastic is defined as “when the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price”. (158). We could observe the good of price inelastic and see the causes of the percent…

In monopolistic competition there is large number of small firms; in which each firm has relatively small market share, and each firm is sensitive to the average market price of its product. In Monopolistic Competition there are lots of buyers and sellers and has perfect information (buyers and sellers are able to see prices at which others are buying/selling), no significant barriers to exit or entry- anyone can join or exit, differentiated products - The products are similar but not identical…

Chapter 6 explores the firm behaviour while operating in situations of horizontal demand, which implies a perfect competition scenario. The assumptions made clear while evaluating the perfect market assumption was that all the players in the market were privy to equal information and production resources, which is largely not the case in the real world. In my opinion, the implications of the assumptions influenced the perception of many students towards the content of the chapter. However, the…

Have you ever gone through your day-to-day routine, and wondered if other countries around the world are able to utilize some of the basic necessities that we take advantage of? As I was getting ready for my day today I found myself thinking about shampoo. Does the rest of the world think of shampoo, as a basic hygiene tool, that everyone has access to? In my paper, I will take a closer look at different areas of the world, and different coulters to see how and if they use this product, so many…

Total revenue and elasticity are related. Total revenue is how much money sellers received from selling a good; the formula is price the good was sold times the quantity sold. Elasticity is a way to calculate how consumers change their buying behavior whenever the price of a good changes. If elasticity is high, then consumers greatly alter their buying behavior whenever the price of a good changes. If elasticity is low, that means that consumers did not change their consumption greatly. In other…

Oligopoly What is oligopoly? Oligopoly refers to a situation with a few firms on the market and the central assumption that differs from the competitive model is that the firms understand that their actions affect the market price. There is an industry of different models, but most of these are in some way or another variations on the two really central models of oligopoly. These are: 1. The Cournot model, where the strategic variable is a quantity choice. 2. The Bertrand model, where the…

1. What are the methods described in The Goal for identifying a bottleneck? Answer: Methods described in The Goal for identifying a bottleneck are, • Looking at all the different resources and then comparing with market demand. The one in which demand is greater than availability is the bottleneck. Thus bottleneck is defined as the resource such that the capacity is equal to, or less than the demand placed on it. • Using Herby analogy to identify the bottleneck, so bringing experience into…

Supply, Demand, and Market Prices are very key to the Economics world. The two, Supply and Demand, impact each other and impact prices of services within an economy and as well as consumer goods. Supply is the amount of a good or service that is obtainable at a certain time to consumers. When we talk about consumers, they reveal attention in buying a good or service, exhaust available supply, the when that happens the demand will certainly rise. Demand is a calculation of consumer wants and…

A market is a system in which economic decisions and the pricing of goods and services are guided solely by the aggregate interactions of a country's citizens and businesses and there is little government intervention or central planning. Different market structures exist because we can't just rely on ONE market to get everything, every market that exist sales at least something similar to the other markets or different. Monopoly is when someone has exclusive possession or control of the supply…
