specific subsidy. A specific subsidy is the specific amount paid by the government to a firm per unit output. Graph 1 Graph 1 shows the removal of the specific subsidy for diesel. The demand of diesel is relatively inelastic. Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how much the quantity demanded of a product changes when its price changes. As we can see‚ the market is in equilibrium with Q1 being supplied and demanded at a price of P1 (₹47.15/litre). On removal of subsidy XY (₹9.60/litre)

Supply and demand: According to this theory‚ the supply of an item and its demand affect its price. An item that is in high demand will have a high price. An item that has a low demand will have a low price. Market structure is another economic pricing theory. This theory looks at how many outlets in a given area offer the same (or similar) products. Elasticity of demand measures how much someone will

Discovering the equilibrium constant for a reaction is very helpful for understanding that reaction. Knowing the equilibrium constant of a reaction is important because it allows you to calculate how much product will ultimately be formed during a reaction. Moreover‚ it also tells you how a particular mixture of chemicals will react. This is because chemical reactions always occur in the direction which will make the ratio of their products to reactants equal to the equilibrium constant.
