is a free enterprise economy system . It is controlled by the producers and buyers and they use a term
price mechanism to signal their preferences to sellers and get money at their firm . It is a private system
and it relies on capital or labour . A market economy system works on demand and supply as the
producers will produce if there is demand and if there is demand there will be supply . The planned
economic system is a organized and centrally planned system .Its used for commands and collectivist
economies .in an planned economic system the government makes the decisions.the third economic

Ans 3 ,As the Statement states that the choices by consumers and producers in a market system lead to
the allocation of resources . The key words of the soi are choices , consumers , buyers and producers .
The relationship between buyers and customers is the relationship of demand and supply . Demand is
the willingness and ability to buy a product.In demand , the demand and price have an inverse
relationship so that means that when demand will rise as price falls and demand will decrease as price
increases . The higher the price the less the demand as people won't be able to afford it and they would
like to switch to other products or substitutes . So , as price increases the willingness and ability to buy
a product falls .In terms of demand there are two types of it which are individual demand and market
demand , .
Individual demand -is The amount of a product an individual would be able to buy at different prices
and Market demand -is total demand of a product at different prices . We can find market demand by
adding up all the individual demands at different prices . A demand schedule lists different quantities
demanded of a product at different prices prices over a particular time period . Demand is influenced
by certain determinants like changes in income , changes im price of related products , changes in taste
nad preferences . These determinants make changes in demand which affects the supply . Supply is the
willingness and ability to sell a product .Supply is directly related to price . A rise in price will lead to
rise in supply . A decrease in price will lead to decrease in supply . If the price increases firms will be in
profit and also it will be easier for them to cover the costs of production . Demand and supply have an
inverse relationship .Supply is influenced by certain factors like the changes in cost of production ,
improvements in technology , Taxes and subsidies . These determinants of both demand and supply
lead consumer and buyers to make choices and thus it leads ot the allocation of resources .
