1)
Theatre
artists/performers performing in multiple events/cities
Concept-
Determinants of elasticity
Mobility is one of the determinants in elasticity. For example a hospital
gains its popularity for its renowned doctors. So doctors are inelastic in this
case. Because if doctors are replaced then that hospital will loose is
reputation.
But theatre artists or performers are elastic inputs. Because with the
replacement of one artist demand will not change. They will be performing in
different cities and different events.
2)
We see more and more
domestic tourists visiting beaches rather than religious places as seen earlier
Concept-Equi-Marginal
Principle
This principle helps us to understand that people spend their money on
that good where marginal utility will be very high.
Number of religious places are huge with respect to that of the number of beaches.
So visiting a beach generates high marginal utility with respect to that
of visiting a religious place. In this busy world people gets less holidays and
in that time they will get high utility by visiting a beach because they can
visit religious places any time they want.
3)
Many star hotels
routinely offer unlimited buffet meals
Concept- Revenue, Pricing,
Elasticity
In India most families are average middle class families. For middle
class families price is highly elastic. With the increase in price they
decrease their demand. So most star hotels offer unlimited buffet. In a buffet
people are getting ample amount of food by spending average amount. This
increases the demand. As the demand increases they increases they increases the
volume, reduce the prices.
The volume will make up for the per unit contribution.
4)
Often, unseasonal price
fluctuation is observed in case of fruits
Concept-Price
mechanism
With season price of a particular fruit increases because the demand for
that fruit increases and on the other hand in the off-season the demand for
that fruit decreases and so the price also decreases.
Take example of mango. During the summer demand of mango increases so the
supplier knows whatever the price they offer people will buy, so price
increases. But when summer goes then the demand decreases. So the supplier
decreases the price and whatever he sells he enjoys the cash flow.
5)
We often see keen
interest especially among young men and women to participate in fashion shows
Concept-Law of
diminishing marginal utility
The current generation i.e. the youth generation have the tendency to get
bored of things easily. When it comes to fashion the trend changes every month.
The marginal utility from a particular fashion decreases over time. How many
times will you wear the same fashion shirts? 1 week, 2 week 3 weeks? I am sure
not more than that. The marginal utility decreases easily in the youth
generation. So in order to keep in touch of the trending fashion the young mem
and women are keen to take part in fashion shows.
