Study Notes
The Law of Demand
- As the price of a good or service increases, the quantity demanded decreases, assuming all other factors remain constant.
Value-Based Pricing
- Focuses on the customer's perception of value rather than production costs.
- Price is set based on the perceived value to the customer.
Medium-Term Economic Forecasts
- Span a period of 1-3 years.
- Provide insights and predictions about economic conditions in the near future.
Penetration Pricing Misconception
- Penetration pricing does not always lead to lower prices in the long run.
- The strategy aims to capture market share quickly by offering lower prices, but it does not guarantee sustained low prices.
Elasticities of Demand
- Measure the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price, income, or the price of related goods.
- Indicate the sensitivity of demand to changes in these factors.
Long-Run Cost Function
- Accounts for all costs, including fixed and variable costs.
- It considers that all factors of production are variable in the long run, allowing for adjustments to scale and production processes.
Marginal Cost
- The change in total cost resulting from producing one additional unit of output.
- It reflects the cost incurred in producing one more unit, not the average cost across all units.
GDP Per Capita
- Provides a measure of average income per person in a country.
- Useful for comparing living standards and economic well-being across different countries.
National Income Components
- Wages, salaries, and other employee compensation.
- Profits of businesses and corporations.
- Rental income.
- Interest income.
Economies of Scale
- Associated with decreasing average costs as production increases.
- As firms increase their production, they can spread fixed costs over a larger output, leading to lower per-unit costs.
