Option 1:
Complete the Supply and Demand Simulation.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper summarizing the content of the simulation and address the following:
• Identify two microeconomics and two macroeconomics principles or concepts from the simulation/video.
• Explain why you have categorized these selected principles or concepts as microeconomics or macroeconomics.

• How do the concepts of macroeconomics help you understand the factors that affect shifts in supply and demand on the equilibrium price and quantity?
• How does the price elasticity of demand affect a consumer's purchasing and the firm's pricing strategy as it relates to the simulation/video?
