7. Factors of Production Give as many examples as you can for each factor of production seen in the clip. • Land • Labor • Capital- Physical and Human • Entrepreneur Unwrapped- Nerds Unwrapped- Sugar Sugar Handmade Lollies

8. Economic Choices p. 205 • Trade-off – an alternative we sacrifice when we make a decision. Ex. You want money to pay for gas but you also want to play football. You choose to get a job rather than playing football. • What is the trade-off? • Why do you have to decide between playing football and working?

9. Economic Choices • Countries must make choices each day – economists (one who studies economics) describes the trade-off countries face by the example of “GUNS OR BUTTER” • If a country produces more military goods (guns) then the country has fewer resources to devote to consumer goods. (butter)

10. Economic Choices • Can a country make unlimited amounts of guns AND butter? • NO!!!!!!…. remember, resources are limited! • Take steel for example, if the country is using steel to make weapons, then that steel cannot be used to make equipment needed to produce butter.

11. Economic Choices • Opportunity Cost – the most desirable alternative given up as a result of a decision. Ex. If you have enough money to go to either a dinner OR a movie and you choose the movie, What is your opportunity cost?

13. Economic Choices • Example: Basketball team vs. Job Decision: Join the Basketball Team Benefits? Opportunity Cost? Other Trade-offs?

14. Economic Choices • Example: Basketball team vs. Job Decision: Get a Job Benefits? Opportunity Costs? Trade-offs?

15. Economic Choices • Thinking at the Margin – deciding whether to use one additional unit of some resource.

16. Consider this example. Joe is trying to decide if he should stay up late to study… help Joe make his decision. ** At what point is Joe paying an added cost with little benefit? (In other words, when should Joe stop studying?)

17. Economic Choices Is it worth it for Joe to study 3 hours? At 3 hours it is no longer worth Joe’s time to continue to study. He is not getting the same results as when he studied for one hour and for 2 hours.
