price-decrease policy is to be followed if the demand is elastic. 2) Poverty in the midst of plenty: Inelastic demand for agricultural products helps to explain why bumper crops or rice or wheat depress the prices and total revenues for farmers. 3) Helps in fixing the rate of taxes: Governments look at elasticity of demand when levying excise taxes. Excise taxes on products with inelastic demand will raise the most revenue and have the least impact on quantity demanded for those products.

Cost drivers‚ as propounded by Porter (1985) are the structural causes of the cost of an activity in the value chain. They determine the behaviour and level of costs within an activity. A cost driver can be completely‚ partly or not at all under the control of a firm. It is therefore important for a manager to understand these factors because according to the Neo-classical model of the firm‚ the firm’s objective is to maximise profit by producing a given level of output at the minimum cost level

associated with high price causes decline in the value for money. It exists when the amount of money in the country is in excess of the physical volume of goods and services. Explain the reasons for this monetary phenomenon. Ans: Inflation: In economics‚ inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. It can be defined as too much money chasing too few goods. When the general price level rises‚ each unit of currency buys fewer

SUPPLY supply curve - in economics‚ graphic representation of the relationship between product priceand quantity of product that a seller is willing and able to supply. Product price is measured on the vertical axis of the graph and quantity of product supplied on the horizontal axis. In most cases‚ the supply curve is drawn as a slope rising upward from left to right‚ since product price and quantity supplied are directly related (i.e.‚ as the price of a commodity increases in the market‚ the

Major Assignment 1) a) Demand Function: Quantity Demanded (Qd) = a + b* Price (P) Supply Function: Quantity Supplied (Qs) = a + b* Price (P) Where: a = constant b = the change in quantity as a result to the change in price. Demand Function: Quantity Demanded (Qd) = a + b* Price (P) b = (420 – 350) / (20 – 25) = 70 / -5 = -14 Using: P = 25‚ Qd = 350 350 = a – 14 * (25) 350 = a – 350 Therefore a = 700 and the demand function would be: Qd = 700 – 14 * P Supply Function:

Appalachian Coal Mining believes that it can increase labor productivity and‚ there- fore‚ net revenue by reducing air pollution in its mines. It estimates that the marginal cost function for reducing pollution by installing additional capital equipment is MC = 40P where P represents a reduction of one unit of pollution in the mines. It also feels that for every unit of pollution reduction the marginal increase in revenue (MR) is MR =1‚000 =10P. How much pollution reduction should Appalachian Coal
