Answer 1

Microeconomics is the social science that studies the consequences of incentives and decisions, especially about how they affect resource utilization and distribution. Microeconomics explains the pricing of goods and resources, the reasons for various people's costs, how producers, customers and others can profit more or less, and how individuals can better organize and cooperate. Microeconomics typically offers a more systematic and thorough view than the macroeconomics.

Microeconomic principles are important in business and household decision taking. The basic principles that are in the spotlight are:

• marginal utility and demand
• diminishing returns and supply
• elasticity of demand
• elasticity of supply
• market structures

Microeconomics uses some fundamental principles to explain how individuals and companies make decisions. One of those fundamental microeconomics concepts is for individuals to make choices to maximize their satisfaction. This is known in microeconomics as optimizing utility.

In a capitalist economy, consumers as well as companies make thousands of big and small decisions each year, driven by microeconomic principles. When customers go out and shop for everything from paper towels to homes, houses and cars, they try to optimize their satisfaction. Businesses set prices and make other decisions based on microeconomics. The prices consumers will pay depend on the delivery of a good, as well as how much others will pay for it.
