There are so many that people must decide which ones to choose at any one time.

Everyone has them, and they change.

A technology company is designing a new smartphone. Which analysis best explains how the factors of production contribute to its success?

Opportunity costs determine whether the company should produce the smartphone.

Factors of production—land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship—combine to create the smartphone.

Production trade-offs explain why the company must choose between making smartphones or tablets.

Production possibilities show the maximum number of smartphones the company can make.

How are trade-offs and opportunity costs different?

A trade-off is the most expensive opportunity cost.

It's more important to be aware of the trade-off when deciding something.

A trade-off can be put on a decision-making grid, but an opportunity cost cannot.

The opportunity cost is the most desirable trade-off.

Individuals and businesses own resources, so the owner can expand with limited government regulation.

Individuals, because they can freely choose based on personal demand.

By leaving all decisions to entrepreneurs without government involvement..

By allowing government ownership of key industries while permitting some private ownership..

By ensuring all businesses are privately owned and profits are maximized.

A diner has already eaten three slices. They consider buying a fourth slice for $4.
Marginal Benefit: Slight satisfaction, but they’re already full.
Marginal Cost: $4 payment and possible discomfort from overeating.
What principle applies here?

Marginal cost exceeds marginal benefit, so don’t buy

Law of diminishing returns makes the slice more valuable

Opportunity cost doesn’t matter in food decisions

Average cost principle supports buying more
