Inflation
Inflation is the price of goods and services.In simpler terms.
What causes inflation?
1.cost push
2.demand pull
Today let look the COST PUSH.
It is the increase of production cost of a certain product.The aim of every business is to make a profit, in order for a business to make profit.Revenue must greater than total cost.We ll touch on costs and revenue next time.
Let look a practical example: fuel hike Thursday midnight by E1.20. What is the meaning of this to the supplier (business) and consumer(buyer).
The production cost for businesses will increase that leads to price increase of a certain product.
Let use bread as an example: let say producing bread cost company X E3 and transport is E0.50 before fuel hike which means total cost is E3.50. But company X can't sell it at E3.50,as the company wants to make a profit.Let say company X use the mark-up pricing at 10% which makes is E0.35 as consumer we going to buy the bread at E3.85 before fuel hike. After fuel hike production cost is E3.25 and transport is E0.75.The new total cost will be E4.00,let say the company keep it 10%.As a consumer,you ll buy the bread at E4.40
The price increased from E3.85 toE4.40.
Let do little math
E4.40-E3.85=E0.55 is the change.
I hope it make sense.
