Right decisions have to be made in regard to the quantities to produce and the prices to

demand in most economies face a lot of challenges. Supply challenges range from
small firms with structural supply rigidities to huge firms that act as monopolists and
cartels that charge exploitative prices on the consumers. These challenges affect the
trading position of several economies in the international trade. Demand is rapidly
increasing due to the rapid world increase in population. This paper will cover analysis
of decisions of a firm, supply and demand of a commodity, price of a commodity and
how the small economic groups and individuals affect the mentioned variables
