1-2 Economic Choices Goals: Describe the basic economic problem Explain the steps in the decision-making process

The Basic Economic Problem SCARCITY - THE BASIC ECONOMIC PROBLEM! PRIORITIZE! Scarcity – not having enough resources to satisfy every need Forces us to make choices Implement a budget Economic Decision Making – the process of choosing which wants, among several options will be satisfied.

Choices, choices, choices Trade – 0ff – when you give up something to have something else… Opportunity cost – the value of the next-best alternative that you did not choose. The benefit you get from your choice should be greater than the benefit from the next-best choice. Businesses carefully calculate the opportunity costs of decisions before making a decision about how money will be invested

Decision-Making Process Six Steps 1. Define the Problem What is the central issue? Must be defined in order to make a decision that will lead to a solution 2. Identify Choices How many are there? What is the opportunity cost? The forgone benefits. What you are giving up by choosing one situation over another. i.e. Movie vs.bowling. Movie wins, bowling is the opportunity cost. 3. Evaluate Choices Look at the advantages and disadvantages of each choice/alternative

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions 4. Choose One The best one for the particular time 5. Act on Your Choice Just do it! 6. Review/Evaluate Your Decision Did you define the problem correctly? Did you look at all the available choices? Did you act at the necessary time?
