![Page 34: Factors of Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816523550346895dd7a752/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
3 Basic Economic Questions
•What to produce?•How to produce it?•For whom to produce?
![Page 35: Factors of Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816523550346895dd7a752/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What to Produce
Think Big Picture– Society can NEVER meet all the wants and needs– Society’s economic system must determine the
urgency of the wants and needs– A decision MUST be made on what to produce
![Page 36: Factors of Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816523550346895dd7a752/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What to Produce
![Page 37: Factors of Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816523550346895dd7a752/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How to Produce
• How a society chooses to allocate its resources
![Page 38: Factors of Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816523550346895dd7a752/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
For Whom to Produce
• Society must determine how to DISTRIBUTE the goods and services it produces
• Whom Will Consume the goods and services
Who will attend? Any Transfer Students? How will taxpayers pay?
![Page 40: Factors of Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816523550346895dd7a752/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Productivity• The level of output that results from
a given level of input
*Make the most using the least*Work Smarter, not just work Harder
![Page 41: Factors of Production](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070422/56816523550346895dd7a752/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Productivity• Efficiency – The use of the smallest amount of
resources to produce the greatest amount of output
• Division of Labor – Assigning a small number or single task to each individual worker.
• Specialization – The focus on a specific task as a result of division of labor
