Module- Case Assignment: PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS
Overview
New car prices seem to always be going up with overall volume of sales increasing and decreasing from year to year. In the last year, the sale of new autos declined. Will the trend continue?
Case Assignment
Prepare a 4- to 6-page brochure (handout) explaining what economic and market forces are at work in determining new automobile sales. The brochure or handout should be prepared for an audience of first-year undergraduate students. Please be creative in preparing your brochure. You should use illustrations (pictures, charts, and graphs) to help in your explanation. If you need help with the mechanics of making a brochure, you can find online sources of information about how to use Publisher, Word, or PowerPoint to prepare a brochure. Your brochure can be of any size, such as a folded four-section front and back brochure, a trifold brochure, or an unfolded 2- or 4-pqge 8.5" x 11" brochure.
