| Goods | Things that are produced in order to be sold |
| Finite | Having an end or a limit |
| The 5 basic needs | Water, food, warmth, shelter, clothing |
| Factors of production | Land, labour, capital, enterprise |
| Basic economic problem | Recources are scarce or finite but peoples wants are infinite |
| Scarce resources | Ammount of recources available when supply is limited |
| 3 questions economic systems aim to answer | What to produce, how to produce, for whom to produce |
| Opportunity cost | Cost of the next best alternative given up (when making a choice) |
| Capital goods | Those purchased by firms and used to produce other goods such as factories, machinery, tools and equipment |
| Consumer goods | Those purchased by households such as food, cars or furniture |
| What does the production posiblilities curve show | Shows the diferent combinations of two goods an economy can produce if all recources are used up |
| Economic growth | Increase in the level of output by a nation |
| Causes for economic growth | New technology, improved efficiency, education, training, new resources |
| Consumers aim to maximise | Benefit |
| Why consumers might not always maximise benefit | Difficulty calculating benefits, buying habits, influence by others |
| Why producers might not always maximise profit | Preformance of employees, alternative objectives, charities, social enterprises |
| Demand curve | Line drawn on a graph that shows how much of a good will be bought at different prices |
| Factors that may shift the demand curve | Advertising, income, fashion and tastes, price of substitues, price of compliments, demographic changes |
| Inferior goods | Goods for which demand will fall if income rises, or rise if income falls |
| Normal goods | Goods for which demand will increase if income increases or fall if income falls |
| Substitute goods | Goods bought as an alternative to another but preform the same function |
| Complimentary goods | Goods purchased together because they are consumed or used together |
| Supply | Ammount that producers are willing to offer for sale at different prices in a given period of time |
| Supply curve | Line drawn on a graph which shows how much of a good sellers are willing to supply at different prices |
| Proportionate relationship | When the price goes upthe quantity supplied also goes up and when the price goes down the quantity supplied goes down |
| Factors that may shift the supply curve | Production cost, indirect taxes, subsidies, new technology, natural factors |
| Equilibrium price | Price at which supply and demand are equal |
| Total revenue | Ammount of money generated from the sale of goods calculated by multiplying price by quantity |
| Shifts in demand | If demand increases price will rise. this causes a shift in the demand curve to the right. this changes the equilibrium because now supply and demand are now equal but at a different point if demand were to fall the oposite would happen. the demand curve would shift to the left and the price would fall. |
| Shifts in supply | If supply increases the price will fall. this changed the equillirbium because supply and demand are now equal but at a different point. if supply were to fall. the opposite would happen. the supply curve would shift to the left and price would rise. |
| If theres exces demand producers could | Raise the price |
| If theres excess supply producers could | Lower the price |
| Factors of production | Recources used to produce goods and services |
| Production | Process that involves converting recources into goods or services |

Theres 2 types of capital Working capital = resources used up in production such as raw materials and components Fixed capital = stock of man made recources such as machines and tools used to help make goods and services.
