shifting global oil prices to examine the models of demand and supply Abstract This paper examines demand and supply determines the prices of products in the market. The demand and supply models focus on two major groups, the sellers and the buyers. Demand refers to the amount of service or goods consumers are willing and able to purchase at each price. Demand is based on an individual’s wants and needs by which customers can differentiate, but according to economists, wants and needs are the same thing. Supply refers to the quantity of service or goods a producer is willing to supply at each price. Price relates to the amount received from each unit of service or goods sold by the producer. The price increase will always lead to an increase in the supply of services or goods, and subsequently, the decrease in price will lead to a reduction in quantity supplied. This paper has focused on shifting global oil prices to examine the models of demand and supply. Three recent newspaper articles have been utilized in the literature review section…

Effects of a shift in demand and supply Question 1 If the government increases the unit sales tax, the price of products will go up. It will affect even the older products in the market. The companies will pass this imposed tax to their customers through the final product, which therefore makes the supply curve does not affect. This will increase the marginal cost per unit, which will, in turn, lead to a higher or lower supply of goods, depending on the prices at that time. Demand increases as prices go up, which therefore shifts the demand curve to the left. This is as a result of the imposed tax. If the producers increase the cost of the goods and services, then the demand decreases. This, therefore, leads to a lower supplier of these goods and services. This surpasses the amount of products in stock for supply since the demand is down (Shapiro, Alan, Paul). Therefore the new tax would likely create a disequilibrium due to the increase in market price. This market price could be above the equilibrium, and…

Challenges faced by incident handlers in identifying incidents in case resources are moved to a cloud environment Undoubtedly the sector of Information Technology (IT) has been highly benefitted by the revolutionizing concept of cloud computing. This system offered services that produced transformative alterations in online activities, along with introducing several technical and economic opportunities. Although there are present some technical and security issues that add to the drawbacks of the mentioned system. It is observed that many cloud system users find it threatening to move their resources or IT needs to the cloud environment due to their concern about the cloud security protocol. Sometimes the sharing or moving of resources is also hindered due to the invading tendency of outside agencies. The cloud service providers deny the user to analyze their resources in the cloud, which ultimately challenges the digital investigation procedures. Duplication of the stored data and multi-tenancy in the cloud system challenges the incident handlers in marking and segregating the pieces of evidence as demanded by the digital forensics. As we are aware that the traditional method of…
