__ECONOMICS - (__12/03/12) Students to read extract and answer corresponding questions on Demand and Supply.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 19pt;">Automotive Industry crises of 2008-2010 <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The **automotive industry crisis of 2008–2010** was a part of a global financial downturn. The crisis affected European and Asian automobile manufacturers, but it was primarily felt in the American [|automobile manufacturing industry]. The downturn also affected Canada by virtue of the [|Automotive Products Trade Agreement]. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The automotive industry was weakened by a substantial increase in the prices of [|automotive fuels][|[2]] linked to the [|2003-2008 energy crisis] which discouraged purchases of [|sport utility vehicles] (SUVs) and [|pickup trucks] which have low [|fuel economy]. [|[3]] The popularity and relatively high profit margins of these vehicles had encouraged the American " [|Big Three] " automakers, [|General Motors], [|Ford] , and [|Chrysler] to make them their primary __#|focus__. With fewer fuel-efficient models to offer to consumers, sales began to slide. By 2008, the situation had turned critical as the [|credit crunch][|[4]] placed pressure on the prices of [|raw materials]. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Car companies from [|Asia], [|Europe] , [|North America] , and elsewhere have implemented creative marketing strategies to entice reluctant consumers as most experienced double-digit percentage declines in sales. Major manufacturers, including the Big Three and [|Toyota] offered substantial discounts across their lineups. The Big Three faced criticism for their lineups, which were seen to be irresponsible in light of rising fuel prices. North American consumers turned to smaller, cheaper, more fuel-efficient imports from [|Japan] and [|Europe]. However, many of the vehicles perceived to be foreign were actually "transplants," foreign cars manufactured or assembled in the United States, at lower cost than true imports.

1. Using a fully labelled diagram, explain the effect of the increase in the prices of automotive fuels on the demand for vehicles. 2. From the extract, mention **two** vehicles that were most affected by the price hikes of fuel and assign reasons for that. 3. Identify **two** reasons why the American ‘Big Three’ automakers were affected by the economic downturn. 4. As an economics student, how would you advice automakers in the United States to deal with the crisis in the industry.

Submission: 15/03/12

__ECONOMICS- Assignment 2-__(12/03/12) Students to use fully labelled diagrams, to illustrate what may be the outcome in each of the questions given below:

1. What would happen to the demand for foreign holidays if there were an increase in incomes 2. What would happen to the demand for ice creams if the price of ice creams went up. 3. What would happen to the demand for a certain brand of bottled water if there was an article about lack of purity of the source of the water in a national newspaper.
