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. If the demand

meant by the terms price elasticity‚ income elasticity and cross elasticity of demand and discuss the main determinants of each of these. Discuss the importance of each of these to the decision making process within a typical business. Elasticity is the responsiveness to which one variable responds to a change in another variable Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a product to a change in its price. If a relatively small change in price leads to a relatively

Price elasticity of demand and practical application. Price elasticity of demand Price elasticity of demand is a measure to show the responsiveness‚ or elasticity‚ of the quantity demanded of a good or service to a change in its price. More precisely‚ it gives the percentage change in quantity demanded in response to a one percent change in price ( i.e. holding constant all the other determinants of demand‚ such as income). Practical application of price elasticity : Practical application

of Price elasticity and Income elasticity of demand. Ans: There are many practical applications of price elasticity and Income elasticity of demand which are discussed as below. (A) Practical application of price elasticity of demand : 1. Production planning: It helps a producer to decide about the volume of production. When the demand is elastic‚ a producer has to produce different quantity of product and fixed quantity when the demand is inelastic. 2. It helps in fixing the prices of

Can we use the concept of price elasticity to identify a brand’s competitors? How would that work? Firms today are in their perspective industries to maximize consumer satisfaction‚ increase revenue‚ and shareholders profits. These tasks require attention to detail when pricing their products. There are always competitors lurking and waiting by the wayside to gain market share and a competitive advantage. When identifying brands competitors‚ price elasticity is a major determinant. Demand

and cross-price elasticities of demand essential to competitor identification and market definition? (2 points possible) The own-price elasticity of demand determines whether a product faces close substitutes‚ but it does not identify what substitutes are available. Economists can identify substitutes by measuring the cross-price elasticity of demand between two products. The higher is the cross-price elasticity‚ the more readily consumers substitute between two goods when the price of one good

Training is the acquisition of knowledge‚ skills‚ and competencies as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies. Training has specific goals of improving one’s capability‚ capacity‚ productivity and performance. It forms the core of apprenticeships and provides the backbone of content at institutes of technology (also known as technical colleges or polytechnics). In addition to the basic training required for a trade‚ occupation
