Explain the aggregate supply in the short run. In the short-run‚ the aggregate supply curve is upward sloping. There are two main reasons why the quantity supplied increases as the price rises: 1. In the short-run‚ the nominal wage rate is fixed. As a result‚ an increasing price indicates higher profits that justify the expansion of output. 2. An alternate model explains that the AS curve increases because some nominal input prices are fixed in the short-run and as output rises‚ more production

The article states that this is mainly because of low interest rates and shortage of supply. Low interest rates (charges that borrowers pay to lenders for using the borrowed money)‚ would cause a shift in demand (the capability and willingness to consume a commodity at a given price at a given time) to the right (from

Determinants of Supply and Demand If the demand for corn increases due to its use as an alternative energy source‚ soybean would become useless‚ more so the price for corn would increase because it may be limited since it would be its only demand. Like the old saying demand goes up‚ so does price. As price goes up‚ demand goes down‚ forcing equilibrium. If there is a decrease in soybean supply due to less farmland for soybean production‚ everything is based on a give and take‚ so someone has

Aggregate planning is the process of developing‚ analyzing‚ and maintaining a preliminary‚ approximate schedule of the overall operations of an organization. The aggregate plan generally contains targeted sales forecasts‚ production levels‚ inventory levels‚ and customer backlogs. This schedule is intended to satisfy the demand forecast at a minimum cost. Properly done‚ aggregate planning should minimize the effects of shortsighted‚ day-to-day scheduling‚ in which small amounts of material may be

on the recommendation of demand forecast. Once business plans are ready‚ an organization can do backward working from the final sales unit to raw materials required. Thus annual and quarterly plans are broken down into labor‚ raw material‚ working capital‚ etc. requirements over a medium-range period (6 months to 18 months). This process of working out production requirements for a medium range is called aggregate planning. Factors Affecting Aggregate Planning Aggregate planning is an operational

PROPERTIES OF ( FINE AND COARSE ) AGGREGATES ? REPORT Aggregates are defined as a combination of distinct parts gathered into a mass or a whole. They can increase stability of a structure and protect it from bad weather. In addition‚ aggregates can also increase quality and reduce price of the cements beacause of their greater volume stability and filling function. Therefore‚ it is important for civil engineers to understand properties of aggregates. Aggregates’ properties are the characteristics
