BMP4003 Business Environment: Economic Analysis of Trampoline Prices

This presentation provides a microeconomic analysis of the rising trampoline prices in the UK, based on a BBC article highlighting a 50% price increase due to rising shipping costs. It applies the theory of demand and supply to explain how increased demand for Chinese goods has pressured UK shipping capabilities, leading to higher hauling costs and subsequent price increases for trampolines. The presentation also examines the role of market structures, particularly the monopolistic dominance of Chinese manufacturing and the monopolistic competition within the UK toy industry, in influencing pricing strategies. It concludes that understanding these microeconomic principles is crucial for analyzing the factors affecting market prices in a globalized economy.
