BEFORE STRATEGY In your groups, take about 5 minutes to decide what you need to have in order to start a fish farm. We will discuss your results after the timer goes off.

Objective 1: Understand the resources needed for agricultural businesses. I. A resource is an item used to produce a product or service. A. Land includes everything in nature used in production. 1. soil 2. minerals 3. wildlife B. Capital includes things used in production that are man-made. 1. cash 2. equipment 3. buildings 4. supplies C. Labor is the physical energy supplied by humans. D. Management is the decision making function of the business.

Objective 2: Understand the Law of Supply. II. The Law of Supply states that when the price of a product is lowered, with no change in other factors, less of the product will be supplied. A. Technology affects supply. 1. Generally, technology decreases the cost of production, making it cheaper to produce the product. 2. The rate that technology advances is not constant. B. Costs of production affects supply.

1. When prices of inputs change, the level of production often changes. 2. Generally, producers try to sell products for at least as much as the total cost of all the inputs. C. Price of other products affects supply. 1. If a firm can produce a different product that is priced higher, it may change production to capitalize on higher profits. 2. Sometimes it is unfeasible to shift fixed assets to produce different products, i.e. removing an orchard to take advantage of higher corn prices. D. Seasonal and cyclical production affects supply. 1. Some cycles of production are uncontrollable, i.e. time required for livestock to reproduce, time needed for plants to bear fruit. 2. Certain fruits and vegetables are considerably cheaper when “in- season”.

Law of Supply

Objective 3: Understand the Law of Demand. III. The Law of Demand states that when the price of a product is increased with no change in other factors, less product will be purchased. A. Size of population affects demand. 1. With higher population more product will be needed. 2. All other things constant, demand is increased as population increases. B. Tastes and preferences of consumers affects demand. 1. Tastes and preferences change with time and other factors. 2. Weather affects preferences, (i.e. coats in the winter, barbecue foods in the summer).

C. Income and distribution of wealth affects demand. 1. Generally, higher income results in more products being purchased. 2. More luxury items are purchased as incomes increase. D. Relative prices of all goods and services affect demand. 1. With a limited budget, decisions to buy an item directly affects the amount of another item that can be purchased. 2. When the price of a substitute item decreases, consumers will purchase more of the substitute. 3. When the price of a complement (items used together) decreases, more of the item will be purchased.

Law of Demand

Objective 4: Understand the relationship between supply and demand. IV. The interaction of supply and demand determines price. A. Price is found at equilibrium, where the supply and demand curves intersect. B. If demand curve shifts right, the price increases. C. If supply curve shifts left, the price increases. D. Foreign trade is a major player in price determination of agricultural commodities.

Assignment

Objective 5: Understand the Law of Diminishing Returns. V. The Law of Diminishing Returns affects physical output and economic returns. A. The law of diminishing returns states that as a variable resource is added to fixed resources, marginal output declines immediately or after an initial stage of increasing marginal returns. Total output may increase at an increasing rate for a time, but then increases at a decreasing rate until it reaches its maximum. B. Values need to be provided to understand the law of diminishing economic returns. 1. The additional cost of each unit of input is called marginal cost. 2. The additional return resulting from each unit of input is called marginal return. 3. Net returns will be highest when marginal cost is equal to marginal return.

Objective 6: Understand the Principle of Equimarginal Returns. VI. The Principle of Equimarginal Returns states that to allocate a resource among several alternative uses in such a way that the marginal returns are equal in all uses. A. Never invest capital in an alternative that does not provide returns equal to or greater than the amount invested. B. Always invest capital in the option that provides the greatest marginal returns, so long as the returns are greater than the amount invested.

Objective 7: Understand the relationship between enterprises. VII. Many businesses combine several enterprises to maximize profits. A. Supplementary enterprises are those where one enterprise supplements the income of another. 1. A sports stadium is often used for concerts. 2. A lawn tractor can be used to move snow. B. Complementary enterprises are those where one enterprise produces the inputs for another. 1. Soybeans used in rotation to leave nitrogen for corn. 2. Tree trimming service may sell mulch. C. Competitive enterprises are those where one enterprise interferes with another. 1. Enterprises competing for labor resources. 2. Students who work so much that they do not have enough time to study.
