Exploring Economic Principles: Demand, Supply, and Market Structure

This essay provides an overview of key economic concepts and models, focusing on the business environment and the interplay of internal and external factors influencing firm operations. It delves into the theory of demand and supply, explaining the relationship between price and consumer willingness to buy or sell goods. Factors affecting both demand, such as commodity price and consumer income, and supply, including production costs and government subsidies, are examined. The essay also outlines different types of market structures, including perfect competition, monopolistic competition, monopoly, and oligopoly. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of understanding microeconomic principles for comprehending economic trends and the significant impact of price changes on demand and supply within a market.

Economic concepts and models

Introduction
The business environment is the sum total of
all internal and external elements that
influence how a firm operates, either directly
or indirectly. Employees, consumer needs,
supply and demand, management,
government, and other elements all play a role
in the business environment.

Main arguments
• Impact of customers
• Availability of employees
• Media and general public
• Level of competition
• Availability of investors

Demand and supply
This theory describes the relationship between
the price of a given good and people's
willingness to buy or sell it. In economic
terms, demand refers to the quantity of goods
that consumers are willing and able to buy at
various prices throughout a certain time
period.

Factors affecting demand
• Price of commodity
• Consumer income

Supply
The quantity of resource that a corporation,
producer, or provider of financial assets is
willing and able to deliver in the market or to
an individual is referred to as supply. It refers
to the overall amount of a particular good
made available to customers

Factors affecting supply
• Cost of production: The cost of
production and the supply of an item are
diametrically opposed.
• Government subsidies: It is referred to as
a government-provided benefit aimed at
lowering overall manufacturing costs.

Market structure
The following are the different types of
market structures-
• Perfect competition
• Monopolistic competition
• Monopoly
• Oligopoly

CONCLUSION
As a result of the foregoing, it can be argued that studying
micro economic principles aids in the comprehension of
economic trends and a variety of other elements. There was a
significant impact on demand and supply in a particular
market as a result of price changes.
