INTRODUCTION
The business economic deals with the various issues such are as management, expansion
as well as other kind of strategy which are helpful in manner to study of various types of
financial issues and challenges that are to be being experienced by the business and this all has to
be performed in the specific market (Mas-Colell, 2014). The term economy is referred as the
study of various components in the market which is inclusive of the factors like demand and
supply. This kind of factors are affecting the scarcity concept in the market. In this present
assignment the problem has been discussed in relation to the marketing activities of the UK. The
present report is covering the activities of the Tesco which is distributing it services in the global.
This are engaged in the super market activities in this they need to give major consideration on
demand and sup[ply activities of the firm. In this present report the advantages of differed
market has to be evaluated so that problem in relation to allocation of resources can be managed
(Newbold, Carlson and Thorne, 2012). The role and supply of demand, equilibrium can be
understood in effective manner.
TASK 1
1.1 Description on the economic problem of the scarcity and demand resources and allocation of
resources in effective manner.
This is one of the most basic problem which is facing by the UK in relation to the
resources because it is very limited manner. The need and wants of the employees are not limited
as per the availability of resources in market. The current market is rapidly growing in this
manner the control measure is need to be taken so that market can run its activities in smooth
manner. In order to have the competitive advantage in market it is very essential to manage the
whole work so that demand of the person can be satisfied. In this relation the main problem in
relation to that company is not having skilled workforce due to which growth of organization is
hampering in large manner (Mas-Colell, 2014). This kind of situation leads to have The tern
scarcity can be understood as the something is missing from the economy. With the help of the
equitable allocation of resources the proper use of production activity can be helpful in manner
to meet the demand of customer in the market.
During the time of allocation of resources various things are need to be considered and some
question is need to be asked are as-
 What are the efficient use of resources.
1

 How to allocate the resources in equally manner.
 What kind of products and services need to produce to satisfy the demand.
 Who has to acquire the good and services.
In the Tesco, these resources will be taken on the basis of business requirement. They are
able to deliver creative results at workplace to make sure that business will easily develop their
operations and functions in systematic manner. As per the chosen organization requirement,
manager need to determines allocation of the resources.
In market there are various issues such are as unskilled labour force, ineffective technology can
leads to have growth of the organization in adverse manner. The Tesco is taking various kind of
the effective step in relation to deal with the above all resources. They are taking innovation
stratgy so that customer are able to get attracted towards the firm activities this kind of the
activities are very helpful in relation to enhancing the brand image of the firm. The new and
innovative procedure need to be implemented so that firm can run its activities in smooth
manner.
1.2 Define the role of the supply and demand in the market in order to deal with an economy and
equilibrium.
The equilibrium is the point where demand and supply of the market forces intersects
each other. With the help of the demand of the customer art the specific manner the equilibrium
point can be known. In this manner the comparison with the factor of supply can be done in the
specific manner. In this manner the organization can know that at which point the demand and
supply are equal (Naudé, 2010). This kind of activities are very helpful in manner to full fill the
need and expectation of the consumer in the market. This kind of things are helpful in order to
maintain the brand of business enterprise. With the help of this kin of process the satisfaction of
consumer can be achieved. In this the main problem is in relation to the allocation of resources in
the ineffective manner.
Supply and demand play vital role in the enterprise to make successful operations and
functions. In this aspect, equilibrium point will be achieve in the market towards the business
aims and objectives. When price rising in Tesco, supply also rises so that it assists to complete
demand of the particular products in systematic manner. It also covered high cost to produce
effective functioning at workplace. Customer demand and requirement also goes rise with
purchasing power of the company. Low price of the products and services also requires equitable
2

that beneficial to the company. When demand curve of the business move opposite side, products
prices has been changed. Hence, it could be stated that value of money need to be placed in the
systematic and equal term. It is the best way to achieve effective position then the equilibrium.
1.3 Evaluation on the importance of marketing in different market system in general context.
There are many kinds of market system which are essential on order to have smooth
functioning of marketing activities. In this manner some of them are discussed in following
manner are as-
Mixed market economy- in this kind of economy the control in relation to allocation of
resources are in both of the hands such are as government bodies as well as the organization. In
this situation it is very difficult to cope up with the marketing activities as it is most time and
cost consuming factor. The organization has advantage to cater effective information towards the
business aims and objectives. It is the systematic process review that helps to identify relevant
information at workplace. However, it also generates conflicts at workplace among government
and private businesses as well.
Free market economy- This is the kind of market forces where there is no control of the
legal bodies and its operation activities. In the market forces are free to decide the prices and
allocation resources in effective manner. In this the participant of market are having idea that
what is need to be produced and what not. This kind of forces are helpful in manner to have
better allocation of resources (Kurzban and et.al., 2013). In this the price point is determined at
the intersection point in relation to maintain the balance between both demand and supply forces
of the economy. In this aspect, business has advantage to set their prices and undertake revenue
in systematic manner. However, it also impacts negatively because customers are not easily
attracted towards the business when they are getting opportunities to purchase on low price from
other business.
Command Market economy: In the command and planned economy system, scare
resources are owned by the government. In this way, resources will be allocate and sets for the
production targets and growth. Furthermore, market price also play important role to informing
resource allocations in decision making. Main advantages of this system in Tesco is government
take important part in order to set the goals and objectives at workplace.
The role of the opportunity cost is useful to make effective decision making-
3

This kind of the cost is known as value of selection it has not to be ignored in order to perfoming
the market function in effective and efficient manner. The Tesco organization need to selct thise
alternative which is helpful in order to earn high volume of profit. If business is capable of
earning expected return that it may lose its opportunity cost.
1.4 Description on the factors of the elasticity of demand.
It can be know with the help of the following description are as-
Elasticity of demand- it can be known as other thing being equal. The elasticity of Demand
refer to gap between the prices and its demand of the product available in the market. If the
demand of the commodities increase in the market than price of that good will be increased and
vice versa(Lin and Prince, 2013). This kind of situation can have wide impact on the economic
growth of the nation. In order to cope up with this kind of factor it is essential to understand the
need of the consumer. With the help of this product which is sold by the Tesco in high manner
can be known. In this relation it can be seen that the consumer of the Tesco are sensitive by
nature and due to this demand is highly elastic in the market. There are some importance in
relation to the elasticity of demand can be known in the following manner are as-
Dispute among the consumer- at the time of absence of supply factor from the market,
it can be seen that the rivalries among the consumer can be increased. Therefore, it could be
impact on the business functions and operations of Tesco. Customers are not getting effective
results at workplace towards the systematic work performance.
International trade: With this regard, pricing need to be set to make good which is the
important element to identify demand of the particular products. Different countries fixes their
price for products and services instead of inelastic.
Factor pricing: Elasticity of demand also helps to enhance price that is essential element
of factor of production. Each factor share production in the national outcomes that implement
several dimensions to increase products and service demand in Tesco.
Competitor among producer- in this manner there are large kinds of competition
available in the market among the various business enterprise at the time of increasing the
demand of the commodities sin the market (Lin and Prince, 2013). The organization is able to
attract the customer in the market by full filling their needs. Tesco has major competitors, so that
they are unable to attract the customers in market to fulfill their demand and needs in systematic
manner.

Role of government bodies- The government need to make effective strategies so that
market force can run their activities in effective and efficient manner. In this manner taxation

Rivalries among the produces and customer- In the competitive market the Tesco
organization is taking many efforts in order to increase the price of the product in the higher rate
so that profitability of the organization can be enhanced. The Tesco need to make effective

demand of customer in the market they are able to attract large number of customers. In this

In this relation the Tesco has selected the low pricing strategy in order to target the large number
of customer in the market. The main reason in this relation is that they have to follow that market
strategy in which price is sensitive among the used and it can have large effect on the buying
