Supply and Demand Simulation In the University of Phoenix simulator (2003)‚ learners are taken through the Supply and demand of two-bedroom flats in a town known as Atlantis. The simulator itself is used as a device to learn about the supply and demand shapes as well as stability. Other key learning points are the aspects that impact supply and demand‚ the impact that a cost roof has on the amount required and the amount provided. Throughout the simulator‚ learners figure out the lease rates

Supply and Demand Simulation Timothy J. Vrabel Axia College University of Phoenix In the video‚ several principles and concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics were simulated. In the simulated neighborhood of Atlantis‚ there are many amenities that customers demand. The simulation uses two bedroom apartments to teach the fundamentals of supply and demand. Several scenarios were used throughout the simulation to represent challenges with which management needed to contend. The scenarios

b) Do assumptions have to be realistic in order for a theory to work? c) Suppose you wanted to construct a model to explain the number of cars consumers would purchase during a given year. List twenty factors which you feel might affect the demand for cars. Then reduce your list to just four. Why might a consideration of only four factors be an improvement on a consideration of twenty factors? 2 8. Classify each of the following
