Importance of understanding of supply and demand of business. Plus some with short and long run examples with effected the business.
Answer : As business is totally dependent on market demand and market supply condition, it is important to understand the market demand and supply condition for any businesses.
In the market if demand is higher than supply in short run situation then price level increase. As price rises producers earns more profit and to earn profit producers increase it's production level. As a result supply increases in long run situation which decrease the price level. Because demand can not be stable for a commodity in long time . Demand may decrease or increase. Especially demand change for substitution effect and income effect.
In short run if a business firm earn more profit then new firms entre into the market which lead to increase in market supply. As a result profit decrease and in long run time period it becomes zero. Because of zero profit many firms exit from the market which lead to decrease the market supply and this increase the price level and existing firms earn maximum profit.
