Consumer theory

While reading the article, “$1,000 for Sneakers? Collectors Send Prices Soaring”, it sounds like the economic theory was focused on supply and demand. The law of supply and demand says that supply of good and service increase when demand is great (and prices are high) and will fall when demand is low (and prices are low). The article was based on a real life example that happened back in October of this year when Kanye West promoted his new pair of Adidas sneakers, the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Beluga.

Arjun Jairath 120237551 In 2013 changes in child benefits came into effect in the UK. In particular, child benefit was gradually withdrawn from individuals earning over £50,000 a year and completely withdrawn for individuals earning more than £60,000 a year. Investigate, using the standard labour supply model, how this change in benefits will affect labour supply decisions for a single mother with two children who is able to find work at £30/hour. Assume that she would opt-out of maximum working

Introduction It is believe that child benefits are quite important for parents to cope with the cost of rearing their children. The Cambridge Dictionary (2015) has defined child benefit as ‘money received regularly by families from the government to help pay for costs of taking care of children’. In the United Kingdom, the government has changed the child benefits policy in 2013. Child benefits are no longer available to every household. Individuals who earn above £50,000 a year will lose some

One   What is the most important determinant of price elasticity of demand? Why is this so?   Price elasticity that relates to demand is determined by many factors. Price elasticity is measured by the change in price and the response from consumer demand. The demand of a good or service will vary the price in the item. The most important factor to determine the price elasticity of demand is necessity. If a good is a necessity, the demand will seldom change and the price is able to be adjusted

In other words, this goes to say that there was a high consumer demand for cars between the years of 2009-2012.

INTRODUCTION TO LABOR SUPPLY CURVE Time is a crucial factor while studying a worker’s supply curve for labour. Each one of us has only 24 hours in a day which can be used either for working or for leisure (sleeping, eating, watching TV, etc). Another way to look at the leisure is: any duration of the day when a person is not working, he will not be paid by his employer. Human beings would prefer to spend more time in leisure and less time in work, but at the same time, we need to work as well, so
