The field of economic is divided into 2 areas: - Micro economic - Macro economic
Macro economic deals with depression, inflation, and others that has overall impact in a country. The rest will be dealt by micro economic
Economics derives its pricnciples from the way people act in material welfare
economic is not everything
statistic can be misleading because it has never be precise
scarcity to satisfy all demand
Three kinds of supply - very short run - short run - long run
law of diminishing returns: marginal cost - marginal revenue = marginal profit.
there is no real competition
demand directs what will be produce
demand = want and able
demand types: - elastic - in-elastic
shortage -> demand -> price up -> producer receive more profit -> attracts new producers -> supply up -> price down -> reduce producers -> stability
to profit: - produce relatively scarce goods/services - use plentiful resources in making the product
free market: the condition where consumer demand directs economy activity
Services/good done to fulfill self-needs can't be counted in Gnp
CPI = goods + services bought by final consumer, us businesses
