including the supply and demand, elasticity, costs of production, pricing, and economic or normal profit or loss. My goal is to better educate myself on these basic microeconomic concepts while providing Jenny with valuable data! To begin, the discussion will focus on what the demand for doctors looks like. I found an interesting article that focuses on the shortage of available physicians in the United States. This article paints a startling picture of how the demand for physicians will continue

Market Elasticity A marketed product or service can be described as either, elastic, or inelastic. An Elastic good is a luxury item and most of the time is not a commodity. If the price were to rise on these items, the demand for these items would fall. An Inelastic good is a staple item, the demand would only slightly reduce but the goods would still be relatively purchased. There are three factors that affect elasticity of a good or service. The first factor is the availability of subtitutes

* Price Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of a change in the quantity demanded of a certain good to a change in its price. The formula for Price Elasticity of Demand is the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a certain good divided by the percentage change in the price of that certain good (Hubbard/O’Brien. Pg 169). A specific tax is a tax that’s amount levied does not change with the value of a good but with the amount or volume of a good purchased. Barnes & Noble books:

Elasticity Paper Elasticity Paper With all products available on the market there is always fluctuation with supply and demand. It is said that some products are complementary to one another and can cause the demand to grow for relatable products. These would be considered compliment products on the other hand there are products that can lower demand for other products as they compete with one another for the market share spot; these would be called substitute products. These products combined

incomes, and a good crop year results in a bad year for farm incomes. Explain this framer’s dilemma using demand and supply analysis with a relevant example. Answer: The Farmer’s Dilemma: The Farmer’s Dilemma For many crops, a strange situation arises a bad crop year results in a good year for farm incomes, and a good crop year results in a bad year for farm incomes. How can this be? Price elasticity gives us the answer: Bad crop year: supply decreases, prices for farm products rise, but quantity demanded

Tensile test report (full length) Abstract The Maximum load, breaking load, percentage elongation and minimum diameter at fracture of Mild (low carbon) Steel, Duralmin and Copper were calculated by applying a tensile load to the respective specimen until it fractured. Copper and Steel were the most ductile materials because their percentage elongation and their percentage reduction in area were the highest. The Young modulus of Steel revealed that it is also a stiff material. The Duralmin
