While sipping a cup of coffee, CEO William Corke began to reminisce. It seemed like yesterday, but it was actually more than 10 years ago when he had convinced the board of directors of National Foods, Inc., to go into the soft drink business. Here he was a decade later, sampling a product that his VP of Marketing, Samantha Gordon, was telling him would be an even stronger “growth engine” for the company than bottled water. She had pointed out to him that in 2003 Caribbean consumers spent $1 billion on coffee. Although this amount was far less than the $3 billion spent annually for tea, it was five times as much as people spent on coffee a decade ago. “It’s obvious,” she told him, “National Foods must get into the coffee business.” As he poured his second cup of coffee, Bob had to admit that even he had begun to prefer coffee over tea. He decided to call Samantha into his office to discuss the matter further. “Okay, Samantha,” Bob began, “You’ve always had a good instinct for what’s new in the market. But before we leap into this, I want a report on exactly why you believe coffee will be the real spark to our company’s growth in the coming 5 years. After all, in our business it’s all about ‘share of stomach.’ If people are drinking more coffee, then they might be drinking fewer soft drinks and bottled water, so we’d be cannibalizing our own products. I’d feel much better if you could help me understand why this wouldn’t be the case. Furthermore, what are the key determinants of the demand for coffee? Could this be just a fad? Already people are starting to tire of their low-carb diets.

Required

a. Based on the scenario, prepare a response to the CEO describing how five key demand determinants that could affect the demand for coffee.

b. Based on your response to question 1 above, write the expression for the following for coffee: a. Demand function ( 5 marks) b. Demand curve

c. How might people respond to changes in the price of competing products such as bottled water and carbonated soft drinks?

d. Explain the factors that would determine if coffee is a ‘luxury’ good, or a necessity.

The main objectives of this discussion topic are the following:

To provide clear definition for Pure Competitive Markets or Perfectly Competitive Markets

To provide a clear set of characteristics of Purely Competitive Markets

To assess the theoretical and policy relevance of Purely Competitive markets to the real world (in other words evaluate why Purely Competitive Markets are still being taught in Principles of Microeconomics),

To provide clear definition for Non-Competitive Markets or Imperfectly Competitive Markets (example, Monopoly, Monopolistic, Oligopoly, Bilateral Monopoly etc)

To provide a clear set of characteristics of Non-Competitive or Imperfectly Markets

Also critically assess the theoretical and policy relevance of the different types of non-competitive markets in the real world

To comment on the Economics of Labor Markets -Are there purely competitive labor markets, Bilateral Monopoly labor markets, Monopolist labor markets etc?
