A search good is a product that: a) is not yet available, but consumer desires for it are known. b) can easily be evaluated before purchase. c) is difficult to locate, so it takes time to find it. d) is produced with rare or hard-to-find inputs.
Supply is said to be inelastic when the quantity supplied changes* more than the change in its price. less than the change in it price. 2 equal to the change in its price. none of the above. Elasticity of supply tends to be greater when* inputs are specialized. time period allowed for adjustment is fairly long. degree of advertising is great. demand for the product is inelastic The supply curve overtime is more elastic than the supply curve over the short period of time because, given sufficient time* production techniques become more expensive. new firms can enter the industry and old firms can increase their plant size. producers become more competitive. consumers become more demanding.
You will draw a Supply and Demand diagram, and then do some additional things. Please follow the directions carefully. To begin, you will make some decisions, by answering for yourself these questions: What is the product (good) or service? What is the time period over which we are measuring, e.g., units sold per day, week, or month (don't go beyond month)? What is the geographic area we are looking at? Common choices might be: the city of …, the county of…, the state of…, the U.S. , the world. What is the range of possible prices you want to include? This could be from zero to some higher number. What is the range of possible quantities you want to cover? This will be a function of the product, the population, and the time period. These parameters can be made up, but should bear some connection to reality. EXAMPLE My product is plain white athletic socks, one pair. My time frame is one week - so the number of pairs sold in a week. My geographic area is the whole U.S., - so the…
__________ refers to the expenditures incurred by a firm to obtain the factors of production that are needed in the process of production. a. Cost of production b. Opportunity cost c. Selling cost d. Direct cost
A print shop wants to expand production. It currently has 20 employees and 8 copy machines and recently added two new copiers which increased the daily output by 100,000. They also added 4 employees which increased output by 80,000. Each copier costs twice as much as hiring an extra employee. What is the best course of action: hire an additional worker or purchase an extra copier? Show work
Discuss the actions a purchasing manager can take to reduce uncertainty associated with supplier quality, supplier’s delivery, and long order-cycle times where there are volatile demand forecasts for the finished goods.
Product A cost $8 and demand for product B is 12 units then product A is reduced in price to $5 and demand for product B falls to 2 units please use the correct midpoint formula to solve this
New Zealand possums produce the highest quality fur, due to the large pelts per body size. Demand for New Zealand possums’ products has risen dramatically. This is partly a result of the conservation benefits of harvesting New Zealand possums. This has made the product seem more environment friendly than other fur products and boosted sales to concerned consumers. Assume that the possums market satisfies all the attributes of a competitive market. Further assume that high grade possum furs are the most expensive input into the possum fur production function. 1. Use a graph of the market for possum fur to demonstrate the effect of its environmentally friendly status on the market equilibrium. 2. Graph the reaction of an individual incumbent firm to the increase in market demand. In your graph, identify the firm’s revenue and cost structures. 3. What would you predict would happen to long-run industry supply if the price of possum fur increased as possum culling increased their…
The supply curve overtime is more elastic than the supply curve over the short period of time because, given sufficient time *production techniques become more expensive.new firms can enter the industry and old firms can increase their plant size.producers become more competitive.consumers become more demanding. Economic profit is frequently *greater than total revenue.defined as total revenue minus total fixed cost.irrelevant to the owner of a firm who is concerned instead with accounting profits.less than accounting profit. Diminishing returns *characterize all stages of production.eventually occur in all short-run production situations.are always associated with declining average product in the short-run.exist in the short run, because as additional units of an input are hired, the firm has to accept less satisfactory units.
