In Australia, the price for goods is primarily determined by market forces, specifically supply and demand. Businesses set prices based on their costs, competition, and consumer preferences. While the government may regulate prices for certain essential goods and services (like utilities or pharmaceuticals), most prices are established through free market principles. Consumers also play a role by influencing demand, which can impact pricing strategies.
Government sets the minimum selling price and prices of goods are not supposed to fall below this price. This Causes Surplus and purchasers Overpay.
Price floors on some goods are set by Gov. because by doing so it will keep the price of certain goods above its equilibrium price. In other words, gov. sets a price floor to keep a minimum price for some goods. For instance, something that could cost $1 (without gov intervention), ends up costing $3 due to a price floor. There's usually a LOT of lobbying in congress to set a price floor for a specific good. Once the price floor has been set, there's usually an excess supply of the particular good or goods.
People and goods travel in Australia by cars, I guess.
Price of related goods in demand means prices of substitute goods and complementary goods.
The price of a given commodity will determine both the demand and the availability of goods. If the price is reduced the demand of the goods will increase and the availability of the goods will reduce.
The economies of China and Australia are strongly complementary. Australia exports agricultural goods to China, while China exports electronic goods to Australia.
Supply determines the price and quantity of produced goods.
