This is IDST in action! Recognize that you are combining various disciplinary and/or cultural insights to fashion a more comprehensive understanding of The End. a. Discuss one important are religious and scientific doomsayers differ from one another. b. Now, discuss one important way they are similar. c.

J I am looking for conversation here) 2. Briefly discuss how early-to-mid-20th century technology, World War II, and the atomic bomb helped foster a shift from a “God-centered” version of The End to more secular versions of The End.

Which of the following is true in a monopoly? A.)Business owners should focus on pricing products correctly so customers will choose it over other products. B.)Business owners should focus on other business functions, since advertising will not impact the success of their products. C.)Business owners should use marketing to emphasize the unique features offered by their products. D.)Business owners should bring their products to market quickly, before another company can create a similar product This is the Passage for this question 1. Suppy and Demand The law of demand in economic terms is defined as a downward sloping curve on a graph where price is the y-axis and quantity is the x-axis. What we're going to see is as price goes down, quantity sold increases. So, as a product becomes more available at a lower price, people will tend to want to buy more of it, and therefore, the quantity demanded will go up. The law of supply, on the other hand, is the opposite story. As the price increases, more producers will want to get into the market, which will affect how much product will be available in the market, because more people are coming in and trying to make a profit on the current price. As price goes lower, the law of supply says that the quantity will also go down. 1a. Market Price and Equilibrium Market price is the current price of a good or service at which a customer is willing to pay. Let's put our supply and demand curves together on a graph, and set the market price at the point marked with the dot. This will represent, given the current situation, what a customer is willing to pay. hint Keep in mind that these things are always in flux, so you'll never see them static, like they're represented here. This is just for the sake of demonstration. Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied will meet. Recall where we set our market price, the price at which a customer is willing to pay given the supply of a particular product. What's going to happen is that the lines will move around until equilibrium is met, as shown below. This is the price, given the supply and demand curves, where price will be at an equilibrium, all other things being equal. terms to know Market Price The current price of a good or service which a customer is willing to pay Equilibrium Price The price at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied meet 1b. Surplus and Shortage Surplus is when there's more supply of a product than demand. Shortage is when there's more demand for a product than there is supply. This is going to affect the price, obviously. Surpluses will mean lower prices, while shortages mean higher prices. The size of a business is going to have an effect on how they can cope with surpluses and shortages. Larger organizations have more flex--more money--available, and they're able to look for more substitutions for a product than a smal.
