This document discusses elasticity, which measures how buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions like price and income. It defines price elasticity of demand as the percentage change in quantity demanded given a percentage change in price. Price elasticity can be inelastic (below 1), elastic (above 1), or unit elastic (equal to 1). Demand is generally more inelastic for necessities, with a shorter time horizon, and fewer substitutes. Income elasticity measures the responsiveness of demand to changes in consumer income. Goods are normal if income elasticity is positive and inferior if negative.
This document discusses supply and demand, including the laws of supply and demand and how equilibrium price and quantity are determined by the interaction of supply and demand. It explains that demand is based on willingness and ability to purchase, while supply is determined by what producers are willing to sell at different prices. According to the laws of supply and demand, quantity demanded decreases as price rises and quantity supplied increases as price rises. Equilibrium occurs when quantity supplied equals quantity demanded. The document also discusses how shifts in supply or demand curves can change the equilibrium price and quantity, and the effects of price ceilings and floors.

This document discusses elasticity and its application in business economics. It defines elasticity as a measure of how buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions. It then focuses on price elasticity of demand, explaining it as the percentage change in quantity demanded given a percentage change in price. The document provides examples of how to compute price elasticity of demand using percentage change formulas. It also discusses determinants of price elasticity and how elasticity relates to total revenue. Finally, it briefly introduces income elasticity of demand and cross price elasticity of demand.
This document discusses demand forecasting techniques. It outlines qualitative techniques like expert opinion and surveys, and quantitative techniques like time series analysis. It describes key methods like the Delphi method, market surveys, test marketing, and time series analysis. Time series analysis breaks down past sales data into trends, seasonal variations, cyclical variations, and random fluctuations to forecast future demand. Accurate forecasting requires knowledge of the product, customers, and business environment.
This document discusses supply and demand in a business economics course. It defines demand and supply, and explains the laws of demand and supply through supply and demand curves. It describes how equilibrium occurs at the price where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. It also explains how shifts in supply or demand curves can change equilibrium, and how price ceilings and floors can result in shortages or surpluses.
This document discusses factors to consider when setting prices for products and services. It explains that price is the amount charged for a product or service and is determined by the value customers perceive in the benefits. Effective customer-oriented pricing involves understanding how much value customers place on a product and setting a price that captures that value. Key factors discussed include customer perception of value through value-based and good-value pricing, adding value-added features to support higher prices, and considering company and product costs through analyzing fixed, variable, and total costs and using break-even analysis.
This document discusses different types of goods: private goods, public goods, common resources, and natural monopolies. It defines the characteristics of excludability and rivalry that categorize goods. Private goods are both excludable and rival, while public goods are neither excludable nor rival. Common resources are rival but not excludable, and can face overuse. Natural monopolies are excludable but not rival. The document provides examples like national defense and clean air as public goods, and fish and roads as common resources.
Bba 1 be 1 u-1.1 types-of-economic-systemsBhavik Panchal

Bba 1 be 1 u-1 introduction to business economics and fundamental conceptsBhavik Panchal
Economics is the study of how scarce resources are used for production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It examines both microeconomic and macroeconomic factors. Microeconomics analyzes individual agents and firms, while macroeconomics looks at unemployment, inflation, and monetary/fiscal policy at a national level. Business economics applies microeconomic analysis to optimize business decisions given constraints to maximize objectives. It bridges economic theory with real-world business practices.
3. Why demand
forecasting?
• Planning and scheduling production
• Acquiring inputs
• Making provision for finances
• Formulating pricing strategy
• Planning advertisement
4. Steps
• Specifying the objective
• Determining the time perspective
• Making choice of method
• Collection of data
• Estimation and interpretation of
results
6. CLASSIFICATION OF DEMAND FORECASTING
QUALTITATIVE
TECHNIQUES
1)EXPERT OPINION
Delphi method.
2)SURVEY
3)MARKET EXPERIMENT
Test marketing
Controlled
experiments.
QUANTITATIVE
TECHNIQUES
1)Time Series Analysis.
2)Barometric Analysis.
a) leading indicators
b)Coincident
indicators
c) Taste indicators.
7. Expert Opinion
• The expert opinion method, also known as “EXPERT
CONSENSUS METHOD”, is being widely used for demand
forecasting.
• This method utilizes the findings of market research and
the opinions of management executives, consultants, and
trade association officials, trade journal editors and
sector analysts. When done by
• An expert, qualitative techniques provide reasonably good
forecasts for a short term because of the expert’s
familiarity with the issues and the problems involved.
• DELPH I METHOD:- The Delphi method is primarily used
to forecast the demand for “NEW PRODUCTS”.
8. SURVEY
A firm can determine the demand for its products through a
market survey. It may launch a new products, if the survey
indicates that there is a demand for that particular product in the
market.
For example, Coke in India expanded its product range beyond
carbonated drinks, after the company conducted a nationwide
survey. The survey revealed that about 80% of the youth
preferred to drink tea or coffee rather than carbonated drinks at
regular intervals. The remaining 20% preferred to have milk
products while only 2% preferred to drink carbonated drinks like
coffee.
The company is now trying to bring tea and coffee brands to India
by installing vending machines. It is also planning to introduce a
coconut flavored drink in Kerala and a black currant in Tamilnadu
named portello.
9. Market Experiment
• Market Experiment can help to
overcome the survey problems as they
generate data before introducing a
product or implementing a policy.
• Market Experiments are two types:-
1) Test marketing:-
2) Controlled experiments:-
10. Controlled experiments
• Controlled experiments are conducted to the test
demand for a new product launched or to test the
demands for various brands of a product.
• They are selected some consumers.
11. Time Series Analysis
• The time series analysis is one of the most common
quantitative method used to predict the future
demand for a product. Here the past sales and
demand are taken into considerations.
• TIME SERIES ANALYSIS IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR
CATEGORIES:
1)TREND
2)SEASONAL VARIATIONS.
3)CYCLICAL VARIATIONS.
4)RANDOM FLUCTUATIONS.
12. METHODS OF TIME SERIES
ANALYSIS
•
1)TREND:- Past data is used to predict the future
sales of firm trend is a long term increase or
decrease in the variable.
2)SEASONAL VARIATIONS:- It is taken into
account the Variations in demand during
different seasons.
Eg:- The sale of cotton dresses increases in summer.
The sale of Woolen clothes increases in winter.
3)CYCLICAL VARIATIONS:- This variations in
demand due to the fluctuations in the
business cycle – Boom, recession and
depression.
4) RANDOM FLUCTUATIONS:- It may happen due
to Natural calamities like flood, earthquake,
etc. Which cannot be predicted accurately.
13. Conclusion
• Accurate demand forecasting
requires
– Product knowledge
– Knowledge about the customer
– Knowledge about the environment
