II. Read the following text and choose the best answer.
In the business world, it’s common to hear and see references to supply and
demand. With that said, few individuals possess a thorough understanding of
the idea and its wide-ranging impact on markets, prices, and consumers. In
short, supply and demand refers to the force of consumers (or how much
customers want or need to buy something) in relation to the available supply (or
how much of something companies are able to sell). Generally speaking, high
demand results in limited supply and increased prices, and low demand
results in an ample supply and decreased prices.
This latter phenomenon - the correlation between supply and demand and
prices-might sound confusing at first, but it’s actually rather simple. When there
isn’t enough of something available for sale to satisfy demand (or so that
everyone who wants this “something” can simply purchase it), manufacturers,
or businesses that produce a product or products, charge more; they are able to
do so because they aren’t faced with competition (as whatever they’re selling is
in demand and presumably not offered by many other businesses), and
customers are willing to pay more to secure said product. Inversely, if
something is available in abundance, companies will have to contend with
competition, or actions taken by a company that’re designed to improve its
market standing, sales, and ultimately, profits.
An example will make the concept of supply and demand entirely clear.
Imagine that a company creates a fantastic video game system that many
customers want to buy. Demand will build both naturally and as the product
isn’t available to buy (this marketing technique is utilized by many companies
today; not being able to purchase something seems to create consumer buzz),
and if the supply doesn’t increase to give every willing customer a system,
prices will rise. In other words, if customers have no other way to buy the
system than through its manufacturer, and are having a hard time finding the
system to buy, they’ll be willing to pay more to buy it.
On the other side of the coin, a product that’s not proprietary, is widely
accessible, and can be sold by any company - pasta, for instance - will be
manufactured, marketed, and sold by a number of businesses. One company
might sell a box of pasta for $10, and another company could respond to this
price by selling their own pasta for six dollars, and another company could sell
their pasta for four dollars, and so on and so forth until the price has been driven
down to a very affordable rate. Demand won’t be particularly high in this
scenario, as there will be plenty of the product at-hand to go around. Moreover,
demand comes before competition; if demand is relatively low because a supply
is high, prices will fall and some degree of competition will occur.
