Question

Which one of the following basic patterns of demand is difficult to predict because it is affected by national or international events or because of a lack of demand history reflecting the stages of demand from product development to decline? A) horizontal B) seasonal C) random D) cyclical

Answer 1

Answer: D) cyclical

Step-by-step explanation:

Cyclical Demand is difficult to predict because it goes according to the business cycle and hence is affected on a Macro Economic scale by events at a National or International level.

This means that something could be in demand today but the demand could fall or rise sharply based on the stage of the business cycle the economy is in.
