Perform a microeconomic analysis of one appropriate economic issue or phenomenon of your choice.Clearly explain your chosen question, method and conclusions.This assignment is worth 40 marks with a limit of 1500 words to be submitted on Canvas by 11 September 2020. Your submission should be word processed and contain word count and bibliography. For every 10% word count (not counting bibliography) over the limit you will lose 10% of the assignment marks. Your submission will receive an automatic Turnitin similarity score that should not exceed 25%. You may check this score on Canvas before submitting. As per University regulations late assignments receive a 10% penalty per day until the mark reaches zero. Marks will be given according to the rubrics on Canvas.Your task is to conduct economic analysis of an issue that you select yourself, just as businesspeople and policymakers do. You will be assessed on what you learnt in the course by correctly choosing and applying definitions, methods and theories from lectures and tutorials. As this is a microeconomics assignment you should not write a general or journalistic report. Do not use concepts from other courses.• Look at the business and economics news for ideas for an appropriate issue. It needs to fit the purpose of microeconomics (lecture 1) - a topical, important example of resource allocation with questions you can answer by applying microeconomic methods. State the question, why it’s interesting and economically significant. Present facts or data to illustrate.• Select the right method (i.e. microeconomic model, theory or tool from this course) to answer your question. Explain your method. Assume your reader needs to be explained every concept needed to follow your analysis.• Apply the method to your issue. Report the steps of your analysis and your findings. Typical analysis discusses the economic agents, how they exchange, the equilibrium and factors that change it and finally welfare implications. Use diagrams or models as they answer the question better than only words.• Your conclusion will directly answer the question and maybe look at the big picture - the significance and limitations of your work. Clearly structure your report (depending on topic), for instance using numbered sections for each of the parts of the task, e.g. introduction, model, analysis and conclusion. Introduction and conclusion will normally be shorter. Sample topics, questions relating to them and appropriate methods/analytical tools are given in the table below. They are taken from lectures and the tutorial questions you tackled in class. Please do not usethese or indeed any examples from classes as choosing an original topic and analytic tool by yourself is part of the assessment. These and other cases discussed in lectures and tutorials give you an idea of how tocomplete this assignment. We strongly advise you to send your tutor a short email with a short summaryyour chosen topic and questions (please do not send full drafts) for approval. You may append a copy this approval email to your submission.

1. ABSTRACT
The oil market is the forms
the backbone of the world economy. So , if its disturbed, then the world has to bear the burnt In the year 1973 October, the Organization Of the Petroleum Exporting Countries or OPEC suddenly decided to raise the price of the Petroleum in order to increase their incomes. In the following report, we are analyzing the positive and negative effect of the price increase on a microeconomic level and also input future implications.
KEYWORDS
Price Ceiling, Microeconomics, binding constraint and non binding constraint.
2. INTRODUCTION
The study of economics is traditionally divided in to two broad categories:
a. Microeconomics
b. Macroeconomics
Microeconomics tells us about how households and firms make decisions and how they interact in markets, on the other hand, macroeconomics provides us with the knowledge of the economy in a big way, controlling inflation , unemployment , and promoting economic growth are the key aspects of macroeconomics. Microeconomics takes care about individual decision.

3.ANALYSIS

Automatically, as the market for oil adjusted, the price declined steadily about 10% per year. This is was mainly due to the sudden high rate which the customers realized or modified themselves in order to avoid extra expenses. Disturbances occurred among the member countries. In the year 1986, cooperation among OPEC members demolished and the price of oil plunged almost 45%. This situation have microeconomic implications to explain the drawbacks of the decision taken and it also proved how inefficiently the decision was implemented.
A.TOOLS OR CONCEPTS USED:
In order to analyze the above mentioned scenario, we here using two important concepts of microeconomics that is ;
1. Price elasticity
2. Price ceiling
PRICE ELASTICITY:
Price elasticity measures how much quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good.
The OPEC’s action led to a huge change in supply and the demand for oil world wide....
