Best Answer

The commodities have to be somehow related - the price of lead won't affect the price of oats, or at least we hope it won't.

There are a couple of ways this works.

First consider directly related commodities...we'll say diesel, heating oil and jet fuel. These are essentially the same product, but they go to different users and so are processed differently once the basic fuel is obtained. There's only a certain amount of this fuel, so if they want to make heating oil less expensive in the wintertime or jet fuel less expensive in summer they increase the prices of the other two fuels to discourage their use.

Next consider indirectly related commodities, such as diesel and wheat. It takes a LOT of diesel to produce wheat - you need diesel to plant, fertilize, harvest and transport it. If the price of diesel increases, the price of wheat also increases.

A monopolist can control the price or the quantity sold but cannot control both?

Because, by doing one you're giving up the other, for example, if you reduce the price you will sell more as a consequence, but if you increase the price, the quantity sold will decrease. They both impact each other.


The important of price elasticity of demand in formulation of government policies?

Priceelasticity of demand for a taxed product plays key role in determining the impact of tax increase on government revenue. The more inelastic the demand for the product, the smaller the impact of any given lump-sum tax on the quantity of the product purchased, therefore the greater the government tax-take. (tax-take = tax per unit x quantity purchased)

What does this quote mean you abuse land because you regard it as a commodity belonging to us When you see land as a community to which you belong you may use it with love and respect?

The quote is talking about view points. Viewing land as a commodity or possession creates the mindset of getting what one wants from it regardless of impact or consequence. Short term benefits, go along with short sighted views. Seeing the land as a whole, that supports your very life, the individual can see how small changes impact it, and in turn impact the individual and community.
