The Economic Climate On Business
Overzicht
A furniture shop has a good year and a bad year without changing anything at all. Same shop, same stock, same staff, same prices. In the good year customers walk in and buy a sofa on twelve months of credit. In the bad year the credit costs them more, their own jobs feel less secure, and the sofa can wait until next year. The shop did nothing differently. The economy did.
This topic is about the forces no business controls and every business is affected by. In this lesson you will learn what interest rates do to a business with an overdraft or a loan, and what they do to the customers who were going to buy from it. You will learn why a change in the level of employment pushes a business's costs and its revenue in opposite directions, and why the same fall in incomes almost destroys some businesses and barely touches others. The specification is clear that you do not need any economic theory about why interest rates change; what you need is to trace what happens to a particular business when they do.
