Make a Research Paper on Microeconomics Case Study

Construct a case study/research paper (minimum 10 pages) that examines a firm in the U.S. from a microeconomic standpoint and provide suggestions based on your findings.

Step 1: Choose a firm for your focus. In addition to picking a firm that you find interesting, you will likely want to pick a firm that has available data (or a firm that for which you can personally provide data). Publicly traded companies file reports with a great deal of data (preferred).
Step 2: You will need to complete an analysis of the following categories for your firm. You should complete each section as we cover it in the course – although the paper is not due until the end of Module 7. This will help you to reinforce topics from the course. The following must be included:

NOTE: Be sure to break your paper into the following sections with headings:

What does your firm do? Introduce your firm (Module 1)
How have supply and demand conditions impacted the firm in recent years? (Module 2)
Examine price elasticity of demand for the products your firm sells. (Module 3)
Examine the costs of production for your firm. (Module 5)
What is (are) your firm’s primary competitive advantage(s)? (Module 6)
Are there entry barriers for firms in this industry? (Module 6)
What substitutes are available for your product? (Module 6)
What is the market share for firms in the industry? (Module 6)
What market structure best describes the conditions your firm faces? (Module 6/7)
