CONTENTS: Demand and supply and market equilibrium Factors which determine the supply of good and services; Factors which determine the demand of goods and services with special attention to: prices (of investigated good and substitutes and complements) and economic paradoxes, income and division into normal, basic, inferior and superior good, advertising of investigated good and substitutes and complements. Correlation between the demand and its determinants Elasticity of demand Characteristics of elasticity of demand Price-elasticity of demand Income-elasticity of demand Elasticity of demand with respect to expenditures on advertisements Cross-price elasticity of demand Cross elasticity of demand with respect to advertisement Calculations of elasticity of demand Quotient of the demand growth and growth of its determinant Derivative method – elasticity from linear demand function Power function coefficients as elesticities of demand The usefulness of elasticity in business’ decisions The influence of marketing activity Maximization of the sale revenue (in respect to price elasticity) The localization of the company Estimation and statistical verification of demand function Kinds and availability of market data Price growth indexes and their role in demand analysis Analytical forms of demand function Problems with forecasting on the base of demand function
