Elasticity

Instructions

For this assignment, you will answer a series of questions in the form of an essay. Support your answers with research from at least three peer-reviewed journal articles listed in reference material (or other sources to include 3 peer-reviewed resources).

1. Research elasticity information for two particular goods: one with an elastic demand and one with an inelastic demand. Using elasticity information you gather, predict changes in demand. The United States Department of Agriculture website has a good resource to help with this.

2. Describe how marginal analysis, by avoiding sunk costs, leads to better pricing decisions.

3. Explain the importance of opportunity costs to decision-making and how opportunity costs lead to trade.

4. Evaluate how better business decisions can benefit not just the producer but the consumer and society as a whole. In your evaluation, contrast the deontology and consequentialism approaches to ethics.
