AP MacroeconomicsSupply and Demand Performance TaskThis assignment extends the understanding of Factors of Production from unit 1 that requires understanding of resources needed and allocated for businesses and markets. This performance task will ask you to consider how the laws of supply and demand will affect a business or product. It will also ask you to analyze the market structure of the product. The product can be an actual product produced by your business or it can be a produced outcome. Your equilibrium price may not be monetary.
