Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper summarizing the content of the simulation and address the following: 

 

  • Identify two microeconomics and two macroeconomics principles or concepts from the simulation.
  • Explain why you have categorized these selected principles or concepts as microeconomics or macroeconomics.
  • Identify at least one shift of the supply curve and one shift of the demand curve in the simulation.
  • Explain what causes the shifts, and how each shift affects the price, quantity, and decision making.

    Include responses to the following:

 

  • How might you apply what you learned about supply and demand from the simulation to your workplace or your understanding of a real-world product with which you are familiar?
  • How do the concepts of microeconomics help you understand the factors that affect shifts in supply and demand on equilibrium price and quantity?
  • How do the concepts of macroeconomics help you understand the factors that affect shifts in supply and demand on the equilibrium price and quantity?
  • How does the price elasticity of demand affect a consumer’s purchasing and the firm’s pricing strategy as it relates to the simulation?

    Imagine you are part of a strategic planning group at a large corporation that is considering developing a new proposed product. The marketing director has asked your team to do a competitive market analysis to determine the product’s potential success. The analysis will focus on your primary competitor in the product’s market.

  • Any issues or opportunities your organization faces that affect its competitiveness and long-term profitability with regards to your product: This may include but is not limited to the following elements:
    • Price elasticity of demand
    • Technological innovation
    • The relationship between the amount of labor & capital employed and the law of diminishing marginal productivity
    • Cost structure
  • Factors affecting variable costs, including productivity and others that change the supply of and demand for labor
  • Factors affecting fixed costs

    Make recommendations on how your organization can maximize their profit-making potential and successfully compete in the new market. Consider the effect your recommendations may have on marginal revenues and costs.
