In economics, the elasticity of demand is a degree of change in the quantity demanded of a product in response to its determinants, such as the price of the product, price of substitutes, and income of consumers. There are three types of elasticity of demand: 1. price, 2. Income, 3. Cross elasticity of demand
Market power define as the ability of an organisation to raise the market price of a good or service over marginal cost to achieve profits. It can also be defined as the degree of control an organisation has over the price and output of a product in the market.
Market structure can be defined as a group of industries characterised by number of buyers and sellers in the market, level and type of competition, degree of differentiation in products and entry and exit of organisations from the market.
In economics, Market failure occurs when there is an imbalance in the quantity of a product demanded and supplied, which leads to an inefficient allocation of resources.
Revenue is the total amount of money received by an organisation in return of the goods sold or services provided during a given time period.
Long run cost refers to the time period in which all factors of production are variable. Long-run costs are incurred by a firm when production levels change over time.
Economies of scale refer, as a firm expands its production capacity, the efficiency of production also increases. It is able to draw more output per unit of input, leading to low average total costs.
Short Run Cost refers to a certain period of time where at least one input is fixed while others are variable. In the short-run period, an organisation cannot change the fixed factors of production.
10 Types of Costs - Opportunity, Explicit, Implicit, Accounting, Economic, Business, Full, Fixed, Variable, Incremental.
There are different types of production functions that can be classified according to the degree of substitution of one input by the other. 3 Types of Production Functions: Cobb Douglas, Leontief and constant elasticity substitution (CES) production function.
