Microeconomic And Macroeconomic Principles The Simulation Is Essay

Microeconomic and Macroeconomic Principles The simulation is based on Atlantis housing and looks at the general conditions that prevail and determine the housing conditions, demand and the prices therefore. There are both detached homes and apartments that are to let and to be bought in this region. The simulation and hence the paper concentrates on the supply and demand of two bedroom apartments in Atlantis.

One of the microeconomic factors is the demand and supply. With 2,000 two-bedroom apartments within the management of Hal Morgan, they are able to meet the high demand that could be. This makes them have an advantage over their competitors within the same market niche that may not have the same high numbers of rooms. The other microeconomic factor that works to the advantage of Goodlife Management over the possible competition is the monopoly that they have in this region in the sector of two-bedroomed apartments.

The other macroeconomic factor is the government regulation that introduced the ceiling...

This is a factor that is beyond the control of the management firm hence they consequently have to make adjustments to ensure their business stands stable still.
There is a shift in the demand curve since as seen in the rental rates vs. The number of apartments graph, which is basically the demand graph indicates an increase in the quantity of houses demanded with every decrease in price and a consequent increase in revenue until the optimum point is reached where quantity demanded stands at 2,000 houses and beyond this there can never be meaningful revenue gathered again. There can also be a maximum supply at the rate of $1,550 where 2,500 apartments will be rented out on a month-to-month basis with all the maintenance costs covered. According to the supply curve, there is likely to be a drop in the demand of these apartments if the prices went beyond $1,550.

In this case however, for there to be an equilibrium between the supply and the demand trend or curve, there will be need to lower the monthly rent from $1,550 to $1,050 so that there can be a balance between the demand and supply of the houses at all times around the year.
