Exchange Value (cont’d) • Exchange value is realised when the product is sold. It is the amount paid by the buyer to the producer for the perceived use value

Price Elasticity of Demand (cont’d) McTaggart et al (1996) show that the formula for price elasticity of demand is equal to the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage of change in price.
Price Elasticity of Demand (cont’d) • McTaggart et al (1996) show that:
Price Elasticity of Demand (cont’d) • If the result of this equation is less than one, price elasticity of demand is said to be inelastic.
Price Elasticity of Demand (cont’d) • If it is greater than one, demand is said to be elastic.
Consumer Costs Source: Walters (2002)
End user value and added value concerns of the value chain system • Walters (2002) shows that:
End user value and added value concerns of the value chain system (cont’d) • Net value for end-user customer = Total benefits - Total acquisition costs
End user value and added value concerns of the value chain system (cont’d) • Total Value Added by the Value Chain partners = Revenues - Operating costs & Capital charges
End user value and added value concerns of the value chain system (cont’d) • Total Costs = Materials + Components + Services + Wages and salaries + Capital costs
