Explain why an increase in demand leads to a larger increase in price but a smaller increase in quantities supplied. Discuss some production factors that may cause this inelastic supply


Management by Geoffrey

1 Describe why there can be a shortage in a market for a product

2 Describe why there can be an excessive supply in a market for a product

3 Explain why an increase in demand leads to a larger increase in price but a smaller increase in quantities supplied. Discuss some production factors that may cause this inelastic supply

4 Explain why a decrease in price leads to a smaller change in quantity demanded. Provide a real world example (a product or a service ) showing such demand inelasticity

5 Define Pareto efficiency and provide a real world example describing the process where Pareto efficiency is achieved and where Pareto efficiency is not achieved

6 Discuss (not describe) three conditions where market failures occur
