The demand is studied by studying the consumer behaviour and the supply is studied by studying the cost and production behaviour of the firm.
• Theory of factor pricing- The theory explains how the prices of various factors of production, namely, land, labour, capital and entrepreneur are determined in the factor market, in the form of rent, wages, interest and profits, respectively.
• Theory of economic welfare- This theory of microeconomics deals with the allocation of resources. It involves making decisions such as what to produce, how much to produce, when to produce, for whom to produce and by what technique to produce.
