People tend to attribute behavior depending on their roles as actors or observers‚ known as the actor-observer effect

Discuss the practical application of Price elasticity and Income elasticity of demand. Practical application of price elasticity of demand is as follows: • Production planning - It helps the producer to decide about the volume of production. If the demand for his products is inelastic‚ specific quantities can be produced while he has to produce different quantities if the demand is elastic. • Helps in fixing the prices of different goods - It helps a producer to fix his price of his product

demand curve? Explain and justify your answers in detail. Price elasticity of demand is defined as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. If the demand is elastic‚ consumer response is large relative to the change in price (e.g.‚ new car‚ airline travel). If demand is inelastic‚ consumers aren’t very responsive to price changes (e.g.‚ cigarettes‚ coffee). So based on concept of price elasticity‚ businessman’s total revenue may increase or decrease.

by the product. If we change‚ we can save human resource fee‚ raw materials fee‚ and electric cost. But we have to invest fix cost. So we need to think whether this investment is worth investing or not. With this value for WTP‚ one can estimate elasticity of demand. If there is no switching cost between lens and medicine‚ under any price above WTP‚ farmers will choose only medicine. On the other hand‚‚ farmers will chose only lens at any price below WTP. Therefore‚ demand curve is perfectly horizontal
