demand and supply. Article says that the main cause for the price increase attributed to increases in price of inputs‚ especially in feed prices. In order to elaborate the topic‚ economic models/concepts such as price elasticity of demand‚ income elasticity of demand and cross elasticity of demand are being used. These models will give a clear explanation about how the demand has changed in different situations. However‚ it is required to study all factors those are affecting to demand and supply in

EGT 1 Task II A. Elasticity of demand is the consumer’s response to the change in price. The demand of a product varies with the price. There are three categories of elasticity of demand; elastic‚ inelastic and unit elasticity. Elastic demand is one in which the change in quantity the consumer demands is due to the change in price of the product being larger. Inelastic demand is one in which the change in quantity demanded due to a change in price is small. Inelastic demand usual causes

ECON 600 Lecture 3: Profit Maximization I. The Concept of Profit Maximization Profit is defined as total revenue minus total cost. Π = TR – TC (We use Π to stand for profit because we use P for something else: price.) Total revenue simply means the total amount of money that the firm receives from sales of its product or other sources. Total cost means the cost of all factors of production. But – and this is crucial – we have to think in terms of opportunity cost‚ not just explicit

profits. There are two primary motives for companies to advertise their products and services. The first motive is to shift the demand curve to the right‚ meaning an increase in market demand for a product/service. The second motive is to lower the elasticity of the demand curve‚ meaning the demand for a product/service is less affected when the price of that product/service changes (Sloman‚ Norris & Garratt 2010). There are a number of reasons that causes a demand curve to shift to the right
