Apple Inc. provides tablets, computers, smartphones, smart watches, and digital content and is in
the consumer electronics, software services and online services industries; the Apple Watch
specifically falls into the consumer electronics industry. Apple Inc. employees 2,000,000 people
in the US alone and reported 394.33 billion U.S. dollars
in revenues in its 2022 fiscal year.
The supply and demand of Apple's Apple Watch are influenced by various macroeconomic
factors such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), unemployment, and inflation. Firstly, the GDP
serves as a measure of the overall economic performance in terms of market value. It indicates
the total value of goods and services produced within a country during a year. Apple must pay
attention to the GDP growth rates and other related statistics as they provide insights into
consumer spending capabilities, thereby affecting the demand for Apple Watch. Unemployment
can impact the demand for Apple Watch in multiple ways. For instance, during periods of high
unemployment, individuals may choose to reduce their spending or face constraints in accessing
new credit, leading to lower expenditure on these products. Additionally, inflation, which refers
to the general increase in the prices of goods in the economy and consequently reduces the
purchasing power of money, is likely to decrease the demand for Apple Watch. GDP: Over the last three years, the GDP of the US economy has maintained a positive GDP
growth rate, from $21,060.47 billion in 2020 to 25,462.7 billion in 2022. Appendix A, Figure 1:
GDP Change from 2020 to 2022.
Unemployment: The rate of unemployment has significantly reduced over the last three years. In
2020, the unemployment rate stood at 8.05% of the population. However, it reduced to 5.35% in
2021, and then to 3.61% in 2022. Appendix A, Figure 2: Unemployment rates for the years 2020
through 2022.
Inflation: As shown in Figure 3, the rates of inflation increased from 1.4% in 2020 to 7% in
2021, before declining slightly to 6.5% in 2017. Appendix A, Figure 3: Inflation rates for the
years 2020 through 2022 Over the past three years, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States has
experienced growth. This indicates a positive trend in economic expansion within the same
period. Typically, a high GDP serves as a strong indicator of a healthy economy, characterized
by low unemployment rates and high wages. As income plays a crucial role in driving the
demand for Apple Watches, it is expected that the demand for these products will also increase
and the GDP increases.
Unemployment rates have had a remarkable decline over the past three years, dropping from
8.05% in 2020 to 3.61% in 2022. This reduction implies that individuals will have higher
disposable incomes, enabling them to afford luxuries like Apple Watches. Consequently, the
demand for Apple Watches is projected to rise, while the supply decreases.
Inflation has experienced a surge, rising from 1.4% in 2020 to 6.5% in 2022. During this period,
the demand for Apple Watches would be affected as potential buyers were compelled to lower
their budgets or consider cheaper alternatives due to the decrease in the purchasing power of a
dollar. This would lead to an increase in the supply of Apple Watches. However, with a slight
decrease in inflation in 2022, there would be an increase in demand due to the slight rise in
disposable income.

“The oil Price run-up of 2007-08 was caused by strong demand confronting stagnating world production. Although the causes were different, the consequences for the economy appear to have been very similar to those observed in earlier episodes, with significant effects on overall consumption spending and purchases of domestic automobiles in particular. The experience of 2007-08 should thus be added to the list of recessions to which oil prices appear to have made a material contribution.”

Bureau of Economic Analysis—July 30, 2021
The US economy continued its robust recovery during the second quarter in 2021, allaying fears the coronavirus pandemic had permanently plunged the economy into recession. The second-quarter surge in economic activity was driven by consumer spending, which showed 24.6% increase. In addition to the increase in personal consumption, business investment rose by 9%, with subcomponents in structures and equipment each growing. Government spending rose a modest 2.7%, in large measure due to stimulus spending under President Biden and the Democratic Congress to help suffering households and businesses. The spike in GDP was accompanied by a drop in the unemployment rate, with the 2nd Quarter unemployment rate at 5.4%. And the Fed reported the nation’s capital utilization rate in the 2nd quarter ticked upward to 68%.

Recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the average price level for consumers rose 5.4% over the past year. While some are expressing concern over rising inflation leading the economy to “overheat,” there is some evidence indicating that this is due to the reopening of the economy as producers adjust to rising demand for goods and services. Many of the goods with the largest price increases, like bacon or cars and trucks, cannot have their production ramped up as quickly as demand is increasing. Other industries are facing supply chain challenges, like shortages of truck drivers. These problems are most likely to be short term, so, as supply catches up with demand, we can expect to see prices return to normal.
As evidence, after spiking to record highs in early summer, lumber prices have now fallen below their price at the start of the year. The reason for the dramatic price increase earlier in the year was a combination of reduced supply in 2019 and a surge in demand…

In the short run, the quantity of output supplied by firms can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price level deviates from the expected price level in the economy. A number of theories explain reasons why this might happen.
For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will (decrease/not change/increase) , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by (raising/lowering) the quantity of soybeans supplied. If other producers in this economy mistake changes in the price level for changes in their relative prices, the unexpected decrease in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to (fall short of/exceed) the…
