Answer to Question 1)
Due to the rapid increase in population the resultant is that the demand for goods and services in the economy grows. This in the last 10 years has also supplemented the fact that technology has highly reduced cost of production as well as increased profits and output for a firm.
A large portion of the population is available and ready to work, thereby increasing the labour supply and effecting supplies also. As demand for product and supplies both rises, the prices begin to fall.
Many companies today therefore target at mass pricing a product and making it readily available to large sections of the society to gain maximum profits. Thus, we can conclude by saying that increase in production capacity and demand for goods and services backed with technological advancements have been the core reason for decline in price levels in any economy.
The prices primarily decrease because change in demand is also backed by change in productivity levels in the country.
