The Factors of Production

Trade-offs and Opportunity Cost
ALL decisions involve trade-offs.
Trade-offs are all the alternatives that we give up
whenever we choose one course of action over
others.
(Examples: going to the movies)
The most desirable alternative given up as a
result of a decision is known as opportunity cost.
What are trade-offs of deciding to go to college?
What is the opportunity cost of going to college?
Every society must answer three questions:
The Three Economic Questions
1. What goods and services should be
produced?
2. How should these goods and services be
produced?
3. Who consumes these goods and services?
The way these questions are answered
determines the economic system
An economic system is the method used by a
society to produce and distribute goods and
services.

What Causes a Shift in Demand?
5 Shifters (changers) of Demand:
1. Tastes and Preferences
2. Related Goods price
3. Income
4. Consumer population
5. Expectations of the future
TRICE
Changes in PRICE don’t shift the curve. It
only causes movement along the curve.

DEMAND DEFINED
What is Demand?
What is the Law of Demand?
The law of demand states There is an
INVERSE relationship between price and
quantity demanded
10
Scarcity vs. Shortages
•Scarcity occurs at all times for all goods.
•Shortages occur when producers will not or cannot
offer goods or services at current prices. Shortages
are temporary.
Price vs. Cost
What’s the price? vs. How much does that cost?
Price= Amount buyer (or consumer) pays
Cost= Amount seller pays to produce a good
Investment
Investment= the money spent by BUSINESSES to
improve their production
Ex: $1,000 new computer, $1 Million new factory

Supply Defined
What is supply?
Supply is the different quantities of a good that sellers
are willing and able to sell (produce) at different prices.
What is the Law of Supply?
There is a DIRECT (or positive) relationship between
price and quantity supplied.
•As price increases, the quantity producers make
increases
•As price falls, the quantity producers make falls.
Why? Because, at higher prices profit seeking
firms have an incentive to produce more.
EXAMPLE: Mowing Lawns
13
Example of Supply
You own an lawn mower and you are
willing to mow lawns.
How many lawns will you mow at these prices?

A subsidy is a government payment that supports a business or market.
Subsidies cause the supply of a good to increase.

Supply Practice
First, identify the determinant (shifter) then
decide if supply will increase or decrease

Supply Practice
1. Which determinant (SHIFTER)?
2. Increase or decrease?
3. Which direction will curve shift?
Hamburgers
1. Mad cow disease kills 20% of cows
2. Price of burgers increase 30%
3. Government taxes burger producers
4. Restaurants can produce burgers and/or
tacos. A demand increase causes the
price for tacos to increase 500%
5. New bun baking technology cuts
production time in half
6. Minimum wage increases to $10
