Microeconomics and the Laws of Supply and Demand

    Complete one of the following options:

    Option 1:

    Complete the Supply and Demand Simulation.

    Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper summarizing the content of the simulation and address the following:

    • Identify two microeconomics and two macroeconomics principles or concepts from the simulation/video.

    • Explain why you have categorized these selected principles or concepts as microeconomics or macroeconomics.

    • Identify at least one shift of the supply curve and one shift of the demand curve in the simulation/video.

    • Explain what causes the shifts, and how each shift affects the price, quantity, and decision making.

      Include responses to the following: 

    • How might you apply what you learned about supply and demand from the simulation/video to your workplace or your understanding of a real-world product with which you are familiar?

    • How do the concepts of microeconomics help you understand the factors that affect shifts in supply and demand on equilibrium price and quantity?

    • How do the concepts of macroeconomics help you understand the factors that affect shifts in supply and demand on the equilibrium price and quantity?

    • How does the price elasticity of demand affect a consumer’s purchasing and the firm’s pricing strategy as it relates to the simulation/video?
