-Why study economics???
-Why does the government pay so much attention to the economy???
![Page 3: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Wants and Needs-Wants are the things which
people would like to have
-Needs are the things which people need to survive
-Goods
-things that can be made or manufactured
-Capital goods are the things used to manufacture other goods
-consumer goods are goods meant to be sold to consumers for use
-Services
-work that is done for someone for a certain price
![Page 4: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Limited Availability
-Goods and Services are produced using resources
Natural Resources or Human Resources
-Scarcity
-the economic problems of limited goods and the unlimited wants of society in general
-Scarcity limits the availability of goods and services that people desire or need.
-This scarcity gives goods and services VALUE
![Page 5: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Putting a Price on Things
-Price or VALUE is based on two basic factors
Supply and Demand
-Supply
-the amount of a good or service that is available for consumers to buy
-Demand
-the amount of a good or service that consumers are willing to buy
![Page 6: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Determining Price
-Price is determined by comparing the amount of demand to the amount of supply and finding an amount where they are equal
-Market or Equilibrium Price
-this is the point at which supply and demand meet and price is determined
![Page 7: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Effects of Price
-Shortages
-when demand is greater than supply
-What happens to price?
-Surplus
-When supply is greater than demand
-What happens to price?
![Page 8: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Law of Demand
Demand-
The amount of a particular good or service consumers want to buy
Law of demand-
as the price of a good increases the amount demanded will decease and as price decreases then demand will increase
![Page 9: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Diminishing Utility
-the law of demand says that a lower price will increase demand but this is limited
-diminishing utility
-the amount of satisfaction or usefulness of a product decreases as more and more are consumed.
-Ex.—You can only enjoy so many soft drinks before you can’t drink anymore no matter the price you are paying
![Page 10: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Elasticity
-Elasticity
-Is the degree to which a change in price affects the demand for the product
-Elastic Demand
-a change in the price does affect the quantity demanded
-Inelastic demand
-change in the price does NOT affect the quantity demanded
![Page 11: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Income Level Changes-The demand of many consumers
is based on their income level or purchasing power
-A change in either direction to a person’s purchasing power will change their demand for goods and services
-personal income
-disposable income
![Page 12: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Change in Consumers
-The number of possible consumers in an area affects demand
-Faster growth areas may face higher levels of demand
-Areas of the country who are losing population will face lower demand for goods
![Page 13: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Consumer Expectations
-Many consumers plan when making economic choices and their predictions for the future change their demand
-a period of high unemployment or economic boom can greatly change the demand for certain goods
![Page 14: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consumer Tastes
-Because consumers have many choices of where to spend their money, the popularity of items will change demand
-Advertisers spend billions every year to shape the “tastes” of consumers
-Some items become high demand items for a short while and then very little demand
![Page 15: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Substitute Goods
-substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another product
ex.—chicken or beef
-if a good experiences a price change then the substitute good will face a demand change
ex—chicken price increases, demand for beef increases
![Page 16: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Complementary Goods
-complementary goods are goods that work with another product
ex-cd-roms and computers
-a change in the demand for one will many times affect the demand for the other as well
![Page 17: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Law of Supply
-Supply
-the amount of a particular good/service that producers will supply at a given price
-Law of Supply
-as the price of a good/service increases then producers will supply more of the product and as the price decreases they will supply less.
![Page 18: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Diminishing Returns
-the law of supply says that producers will supply more at a higher price but this is limited
-diminishing returns
-the producer can only produce so much of the product before its cost is more than the profit received from its sale
-Ex.—You can only increase factory production so far until a larger factory is needed which may be more costly than its worth
![Page 19: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Elasticity
-Elasticity
-Is the degree to which a change in price affects the supply for the product
-Elastic Supply
-a change in the price does affect the quantity demanded –easily able to produce more
-Inelastic Supply
-change in the price does NOT affect the quantity demanded –hard to produce more
![Page 20: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Productivity
-Productivity
-the amount of a good/service than can be produced in a given time
-Increases in productivity allow producers to make more of a product in a given time and at the same price which decrease cost and increases profits
-better technology is a major focus of increasing productivity
![Page 21: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cost of Resources
-The cost of the materials that go into goods and services can affect the production costs which affect the amount which can be supplied at each price level
-Examples
-higher wages lowers supply
-cheaper resources increase
![Page 22: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Company Expectations
-Producers as well as consumers make economic plans. A company hat expects record sales or few sales will adjust its supply levels
-Economic forecasts by the government become very important to large producers
![Page 23: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Government Policy
-Governments can affect suppliers in many ways
-More Regulations or fewer regulations producers must follow can affect supply levels
-Gov’t subsidies can help some producers cut costs to increase supply levels while fewer subsidies cause production costs to rise
![Page 24: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Taxation Policies
-Taxes—higher or lower taxes affect the overall profit level which determines supply
-lower taxes means greater profits and more supply
-higher taxes means fewer profits and less supply
![Page 25: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Alternative Products
-Supply can also be affected by other products that producers could supply
-If price falls for one product then they will supply less and shift production to another type product
![Page 26: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why Do We Participate in the Economic System???
Everything we do is connected to the economic system in some fashion. Each day we go to work because the work we provide is in demand in the and the wages we receive enable us to get the
the goods and services we need to live.
![Page 27: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Goods and Services are sold to Consumers
Money is exchanged for goods and services
![Page 28: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Business and Gov’t pay individuals for labor
Individuals provide labor for businesses and Gov’t
![Page 29: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Government provides services to its citizens
Citizens pay taxes to their government
![Page 30: Economics. -Economics -the system that society uses to produce and distribute goods and services -Why study economics??? -Why does the government pay](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/5697bf941a28abf838c9032b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Participation in Economic Activity is circular in its nature. Labor is provided for wages and wages are exchanged for goods. However the wages
earned from labor are now gone and the process must begin again. This process will continuously
repeat itself throughout your lifetime.
