    The demand for corn as an ingredient for an alternative energy source has had a profound effect on its supply as a core food ingredient. So, what has been the effect on the supply of corn and its substitute such as the soybean? The answer can be found by examining the five demand determinants and five supply determinants to see which ones will shift demand and supply. The demand determinants are known as T-I-P-E-N, which stands for Taste of preference, Income, Price of complements and substitutes, Expectation of consumer, and Number of buyers in the market. The supply determinants are known as P-R-E-S-T, which stands for Producers (number of), Resource price, Expectation of business, Subsidies and taxes, and Technology. The farming industry has had to ramp up production of corn to satisfy the demand that was caused by the increase in the number of buyers. More buyers will generate more income, so most likely farmland will be used to produce more corn. The determinants of Number of buyers and Income are responsible for this demand shift. The land available for soybean crops will decrease, resulting in a reduction of supply. This supply shift is the result of Producers (number of).…

    The United States and other industrial economies have gone through periods of fl uctuations in real GDP, employment, and the price level. Although they have certain phases in common—peak, recession, trough, expansion—business cycles vary greatly in duration and intensity. 2. Although economists explain the business cycle in terms of underlying causal factors such as major innovations, productivity shocks, money creation, and fi nancial crises, they generally agree that changes in the level of total spending are the immediate causes of fl uctuating real output and employment. 3.…

The economy of the island, which at that point it was largely agrarian, did not achieve such significant economic progress as those achieved after World War II. From that moment, the economy of Puerto Rico has undergone a process of industrialization and long and deep modernization.…
