Companies need to create quarterly and annual reports on how their company is doing which are presented to people like the board of directors and the shareholders.  You (and a partner if you would like) are going to create a presentation that reports on the performance of a fictional company that you are going to create.  
	This is going to be done as a powerpoint or Google Slide presentation.  Plan it with the idea that the chairman of the board (me) is going to look at it by myself without the aid of someone explaining or narrating the slides.  Therefore the presentation needs to be complete on its own.  At the same time you want it to be interesting to look at, and not too text-heavy to keep the viewer interested.

	Purpose:  Demonstrate understanding of the principles of demand and supply discussed in chapters 4 and 5.
	How:  Create graphs and tables illustrating things like total demand, total supply, change in supply, change in quantity demanded, etc.
	How (part 2):  Create a fictional company and make fictional charts showing (realistically) fictional supply and demand principles.

Guidelines:  The company can make anything you want, but just remember this is a family friendly class.  
	Keep things in relative scale--you can have a small business or you can have a huge company.  But the numbers should reflect a small business (lower quantities, dollar figures, etc.) or a larger business (thousands of units sold or made, big cost and profit numbers).
	You will need to account for changes in supply and demand.  You will recall that there are a number of things that can change both.  You will need to explain what happened to create the change that is shown on the schedule (table) or the graph.

So...You are going to create your own example of each of the concepts listed below in #2-9
	All the examples are of the company you’ve created, and the examples and your explanations create a narrative story of how your company is doing.

The different parts of your presentation:

 The introduction--A short description of what your company does and where it is located.
Supply curves:  Show the supply curve or schedule of your company, your only competitor, and the entire market (you and your competitor)
Changes in Supply:  Show the change in supply that occurred and describe two reasons for it.  (Explain what happened to create the change. (Ex: Tariffs on the imported material used to make your product went up causing a shift in supply, while productivity went down due to the pandemic)   So the graph or table will show the before and after of the shift.
Elasticity/Inelasticity:  Show the price shift of your product at different prices and describe how elastic or inelastic it is, and also give a reason for this.
Short-Run Production:  Show the short-run production changes as you add or decrease your staff.  Explain why this was done.
Production, Cost, and Revenue:  Create a production, costs, and revenue chart (such as can be found on p. 134).   Your chart need not be so extensive as the textbook example, Include three levels for stage 1, and one each for stages 2 and 3.  (You can leave out marginal cost and marginal revenue.)
	Explain what your going to do in the future given what the chart is telling you--higher more people, cut people, lower fixed costs (how), 

 Market Demand Curve:  create a market demand curve for your product, AND describe who/what is the main market for your product.
Change in Demand Curve:  show the change in demand you anticipate happening next year, OR happened from the previous year.  Explain why that occurred.(what caused the change in demand?
Demand elasticity:  Discuss the degree to which the demand for your product is elastic.
Conclusion:  What are the prospects for your company in the coming year?  Will it flourish and grow like Amazon, or go the way of compact disc makers?


When finished you will have demonstrated all the economic principles of the last two chapters.  It is hoped that you will show some creativity along the way in the fortunes of your company and the reasons for its success or failure during the previous year. (Assuming you’re creating the annual report for the company.
