-Give an example of how a consumer’s expectation that price will go down in the future can affect his or her desire to buy something today. Does this always have the same effect on present buying patterns?
-How does the budget percentage that a person spends on a certain good affect the elasticity of demand for that good? Give a specific example.
-What is the difference between a change in quantity demanded and a shift in the demand curve?
-Give an example of a good or service that may change in elasticity over time rather than immediately, and discuss why this happens.
-What role can advertising play in a shift in demand? Give a specific example.
-How is elasticity of supply related to elasticity of demand?
-What causes supply to grow as price rises?
-Why doesn’t the supply increase when a new owner buys an existing facility that is producing a good, since there is a new supplier?
-What are the major advantages of a distribution system based on price?
-Give an example of the way that the Internet has reduced start-up costs for some businesses.
