Explain and enumerate the factors determining Elasticity of Supply
2. Explain the importance and role of Economics in Engineering 3. In 1999, the demand for electronic gadgets was 10 million per annum and the price was Rs. 200 each. In 2000, the price rose to Rs. 400 (because of latest technology), the demand fell to 8 million. Calculate Arc Edp. How do you interpret it? (Edp – Price Elasticity of Demand) 4. What do you understand by elasticity of demand? Explain the factors governing it 5. Explain the law of demand with illustration and Distinguish between the following. i) Shift in demand curve ii) Movement along a demand curve 6. How do wants originate? Distinguish between comforts and luxuries 7. Explain in Brief the economic utility with respect to householder, businessman, laborers and engineers. 8. Explain the law of diminishing marginal utility with its exceptions. 9. Write short note on (a) Law of Equi-Marginal utility (b) Indifference carvers.
