HOW TO FIX THE PRICE FOR YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE?

Say, a lady by name Mary makes 'home made chocolates' in a hill station called Ooty. She wanted to fix the price. So she begun to experiment. At the most, she can make 10 kg of chocolates per day. First, she put the price at 1000 rupees per kg. No takers. It proved costly for both locals and tourist. She changed the price to 750/ kg. Some 3 or 4 kg sold daily. Then she drastically reduced the price to 250/kg. (even though she incurred loss). The chocolates sold like hot cakes. There was a demand for more than 15 kg a day. She was not able to cope up with the demand. Next, she priced the chocolates at 600 per kg. That included some decent profit. Now, around 10 kg sold everyday. She was happy 'for ever'!.
"A thing is perfectly priced when supply equals demand".

Supply-demand principle is one of the key stones of economics.
In matrimonial market, in education, in employment market, in share and Bullion market; everywhere supply-demand principle appears.

KEY POINTS:
The law of demand says that at higher prices, buyer will demand less of an economic good.
The law of supply says that at higher prices, sellers will supply more of an economic good.
These two laws interact to determine the actual market prices and volume of goods that are traded on a market.
In a nutshell; supply and demand pull against each other until the market finds an equilibrium prices. That is why, gold prices rises during wedding season and falls in the lean season.

Apple's black laptop:
Apple usually makes white laptops. At one time, it made black laptops (except colour nothing is special) and priced it at an extra 200 dollars. It sold well, even though it was expensive. There was "demand " for it. Why? Some wanted to distinguish themselves from their run-of-the -mill white laptop neighbors.
Does human values, affection, honesty in short "supply"? Please "demand" them more.

Your heart -you do not know

Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

One cannot think of a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' . It balances right hand side and left hand side. It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B) = C 2A+2B = C 2A = C-2B A = C-2B/ 2 In an electronic calculator, the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression or simply calculates. In computer languages, it plays very important role. A = B When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A . After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

How it works-1 An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
