Therefore, company A needs to stop making this product. Although we can argue that if company A could reduce the cost dramatically, it can become profitable. However, as the demand of its headphones is shrinking and there are so many suppliers (due to low barrier of entry), there will be great price pressure on the product, as explained by William F. Samuelson and Stephen G. Marks (2010). The price reduction may over shallow the possible cost reduction the firm could achieve.

International Trade ECO 372 University of Phoenix There are many contributing factors to the stabilization and prosperity of our global market. We, the United States, are living in a time of severe trade deficit, meaning that we are importing many more goods than we are exporting. While it is nice to be able to buy foreign products at a lower price, there is risk in doing so. When we purchase foreign goods over domestic at lower prices it forces our domestic companies to sell their goods at lower prices to remain competitive. These lower prices may lend to making enough profit to sustain the current workforce.

However, pensioners will be hit hard because the extra income they earn from saving will have dramatically reduced, making them worse off. On the other hand, savers may leave the pound for better interest rates in other countries (hot money), causing a fall in the demand for the pound. As a result the value of the pound will fall, making exports cheaper and there will be an injection of net exports. In conclusion, the impact of loose monetary policy will be beneficial to the economy because extra consumption and investment will cause AD to increase which will increase economic growth. However, it takes a long time for changes in interest rates to feed through to consumption and investment and by then the economy may have gotten worse.

Also, cigarettes are a demerit good, a good which is considered unhealthy or damaging in some and can be physically harmful to the consumer and other surrounding, so when price increases, demand will fall. Even if it is a small fall in demand, it is most likely to be for the young smokers to demand since they have less income than adults. If more young smokers quit, the healthier the next generations will be since smoking is a main reason behind a lot of health issues including lung
Moreover, the goods from the outsourcings may not be as efficient as the goods that are made within the country. The consumers would choose the goods through the brand names or the prices; however, sometimes the consumers would choose goods by where they are made. Therefore, it is very significant to know where the goods are manufactured because it will increase the satisfaction of consumers since they are very demanding on the quality of goods. In addition, as the consumption of the goods decrease, the companies will earn less revenue that decreases the investment that they will spend for outsourcings. Thus, consumer demand has a big impact on outsourcings since people do not want to spend money on the outsourcings’ goods which make the companies earn less profits; on the other hand, the outcome will reduce the spending on
