11/21 WARM-UP QUESTIONS
Put name, date, and period on 18.1/19.1 and pass forward.
1. A business owner is an example of which factor of production?
2. What factor of production includes money and man-made materials needed to produce an item?
Bonus Question:To whom did the Charlotte City council
announce it was going to give $87.5 million? What does the Council expect in return?
GRAMMAR LESSON- COMPLETE SENTENCES!
A sentence require a subject and a predicate (the action). EX. Willie Grimes was in prison because he was found guilty of raping a woman.
Sentences cannot begin with “because” (unless it’s an introductory clause.) Sentences definitely can’t begin with “cause,” or “b/c” BECAUSE those aren’t words.
Sentences cannot end with a preposition. A good sentence in a subject class will repeat
the question.

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?
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)
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.
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?

Decision: Join the Basketball TeamBenefits?Opportunity Cost?Other Trade-offs?

ECONOMIC CHOICES
Thinking at the Margin – deciding whether to use one additional unit of some resource.
CONSIDER THIS EXAMPLE. JOE IS TRYING TO DECIDE IF HE SHOULD STAY UP LATE TO STUDY… HELP JOE MAKE HIS
DECISION. Options Benefit Opportuni

B on the test

3 hours of study time
B+ on the test

** At what point is Joe paying an added cost with little benefit? (In other words, when should Joe stop studying?)

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.

OPPORTUNITY COST AND PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES CURVE VIDEO
PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES CURVE
p. 206 in manual
PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES CURVE
Productivity: the degree to which resources are being used efficiently to produce goods and services.
Production Possibilities Curve: graph that shows alternative ways to use an economy’s resources.
Draw this in your notes
PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES CURVE
Production Possibilities Frontier: line on the production possibilities curve that shows maximum possible output for an economy.
**growth in an economy can cause a shift in the production possibilities curve**
Draw this in your notes
PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES CURVE
Underutilization: using fewer resources than an economy is capable of using.
*A
Incentive: a reward offered to try to persuade people to make certain economic actions.
Freakonomics: The Grade ExperimentHow A Middle School Principal Convinced Students to Come to School

Other Important Vocabulary:
Non-Renewable resources: a resource that cannot be replaced once it is used (ex: fossil fuels, coal, oil, etc).
Renewable Resources: a resource that is capable of being naturally restored or replenished (ex: trees).
PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIES CURVE

ASSIGNMENT If this society were to
invest in newer technologies, what would happen to this production possibilities curve?
If this economy were to produce a combination of 5 million tons of watermelons and 8 million pairs of shoes, it would be producing at a point of underutilization. Label the point (5,8) as point g.
