      Unit I introduced the benefits of markets to improving outcomes for  producers and consumers. Unit II examined the role of costs and prices  in decision-making. For this assignment, you will answer a series of  questions in the form of an essay. Support your answers with research  from at least three peer-reviewed journal articles using the CSU Online  Library (or other sources).      

1. Research elasticity information for two particular goods: one  with an elastic demand and one with an inelastic demand. Using  elasticity information you gather, predict changes in demand. The United States Department of Agriculture website has a good resource to help with this. 
2. Describe how marginal analysis, by avoiding sunk costs, leads to better pricing decisions. 
3. Explain the importance of opportunity costs to decision-making and how opportunity costs lead to trade. 
4. Evaluate how better business decisions can benefit not just the  producer but the consumer and society as a whole. In your evaluation,  contrast the deontology and consequentialism approaches to ethics.
