In this lesson, you started by reviewing customer demand before choosing a business.What microeconomic factors point to the fact that your business should be successful? Be sure to provide evidence for your claim.
Several microeconomic factors suggest the business will be successful. First, high customer demand indicates that there is a significant group of consumers willing and able to purchase the product or service at a specific price point. Second, a lack of direct competition in the local market suggests a supply gap that the business can fill. Finally, efficient management of production costs and a competitive pricing strategy will allow the business to maximize profit margins. The evidence for this claim comes from the initial market review, which showed a high volume of consumer interest contrasted with few existing competitors.
After you analyzed demand, you took steps to make sure your business made sense financially.How will thinking on the margin help increase the chance of long-term success for your business, even if additional competition enters your community?
Thinking on the margin helps me determine the profitability of producing each additional unit of a product. By comparing marginal cost to marginal revenue, I can identify the point where production is most profitable and know when to stop increasing output to avoid losses. This knowledge provides flexibility; if competitors enter the market, I can use my understanding of marginal costs to lower prices strategically or offer discounts while still ensuring that my business remains profitable in the long run.
