The Fundamental Problem in Economics isSCARCITY
• Scarcity- Resources are always limited compared with the number and variety of wants people have
• Scarcity is not caused by a shortage of money.

What is scarce in each of these scenarios?
1. Brownouts in Los Angeles?
2. People carpooling to work everyday?
3. Turning off the faucet while you brush your teeth?
4. Mandatory newspaper recycling
Electricity
Gasoline
Water
Trees

Scarcity is caused by a lack of productive resources or a lackin one of the four factors of production.
The Four Factors of Production: Resources people have for producing goods and services to satisfy their wants
1. Land-Natural Resources used to make the final product
2. Capital-Machines, tools, money used to make the final product
3. Labor-Workers used to make the final product
4. Entrepreneur-Risk taker

Is water scarce today? Will water be scarce in the future?

• Production is followed by Distribution
• Distribution- Process by which goods and services are made available to the peoplewho want them
• Distribution is followed by Consumption
• Consumption- Act of buying or using goods or
services

Place in order using the Want-Satisfaction Chain
__ Computer
__ George uses his computer
__ George wants a computer game
__ Computer shipped to store
__ Programmer, silicon, factory
__ George wants a computer
__ George buys a computer
__ Computer is assembled in factory
Place in order 1-8

• Economy is all about making choices
• You have to make choices because of scarcity
• Which of your wants will you satisfy?
• You must examine the trade-offs-
An exchange of one thing in return for
another, especially relinquishment of one
benefit or advantage for another regarded as
more desirable

• Opportunity Cost- Highest valued benefitgiven up when a choice is made
• For example, if you chose the concert ticketsthe opportunity cost would be the 2nd option that you would of chosen
• Businesses must make similar decisions everyday
• For Example: Should Ford Motor Co spendmoney on building a new car plant?

1. What tradeoffs did
you make?
![Page 14: Needs vs. Wants Need- Basic requirement for survival Want- Means of expressing a need Influenced by society Influenced by culture Change over time Many.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110209/56649e375503460f94b2751d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• What tradeoffs did you make in order to balance the budget?
• What is the opportunity cost of your budget recommendation?

• Question 2: How will land, labor, and capital be combined?

• Question 3: Who will get the goods and services that are available?
• Should they be divided equally?
• Should citizens determine who gets what
• How much government intervention is there to answer this question
• How much economic freedom is there?
• A lot of government intervention equals no economic freedom• People would receive the same even some may work harder• People have no say in the economy
• No government intervention equal a lot of economic freedom• People compete freely and some may get more than others• People have all the say in the economy
