£10.00 7

From the above demand of company products, change every day. This shows that people
are not willingly purchase company products. Hence, changes in the quantity demanded due to
price change occurs along with demand curve. Thus, demand curve quantity of products and
services which desires by customer. It is determines quantity which is demanded on the amount
of products which willingly purchase at certain price (Helm and Gritsch, 2014). Therefore, when

Supply is determines as various quantities of goods and services which producers are
willing to sell at market price. Following table show supply of Primark from purchasing of
company products and services:
Price Quantity
£5.00 8
£8.00 11
£10.00 13
£13.00 16

purposes which present in current ways to manage people and resources of Primark. In addition

economic growth which creates impact on the organisation performances (Helm and Gritsch,
2014). If taxation is low, it assists to encourage company to stay in the country and develop

Thus, it creates impact on products which buy by customer on which amount they are pay. In
