Opportunity cost worksheet 2013
This document provides practice questions about opportunity cost. It asks the reader to consider their own recent decisions and what opportunities they gave up by choosing one option over others. It also asks the reader to consider future decisions and what factors could influence them to change their choice. Finally, it provides several scenarios and asks the reader to explain the behaviors using the concept of opportunity cost.
Economics-Unit-2-Scarcity.ppt
When making decisions, individuals, businesses, and governments must consider scarcity due to limited resources and unlimited wants. Rational decision-making requires weighing costs and benefits to determine the best use of resources. For individuals, this may involve career choices, education levels, and budgets that maximize benefits. For governments, rational decisions allocate scarce public funds to priorities like infrastructure, education, or defense based on anticipated economic growth and standards of living. Rational choices demonstrate an understanding of opportunity costs as the next best alternatives forgone.
Econ Ch1 Scarcity And Choice
This document provides an overview of key economic concepts including scarcity, choice, factors of production, opportunity cost, wants vs needs, and decision making. It explains that scarcity means resources are limited and this creates the basic economic problem. Choices must be made between alternatives, which involves weighing costs and benefits. Decision making grids can illustrate the tradeoffs and opportunity costs of different options. The four factors of production are natural resources, human resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurship.

Trade-Offs and Opportunity Costs2.pptx
Marbury's mother made a good decision not allowing her children to purchase expensive sneakers because the opportunity costs were too high for their family. By spending $150-200 on a single pair of sneakers, the children would have to forgo other important necessities due to their family's limited financial resources. Instead of non-essential clothing items, the money could be better spent on more pressing needs like food, shelter, healthcare, or education. While branded sneakers may provide social status or enjoyment, meeting basic living expenses should take priority over discretionary purchases for a family experiencing financial constraints.

This study guide covers economics concepts including goods and services, resources, scarcity, and the four basic economic questions. It also discusses the three main types of economic systems - traditional, command, and market economies. Traditional economies rely on customs passed down through generations. Command economies involve central planning by an authority. Market economies are based on voluntary exchange between individuals and businesses. The study guide provides examples and discusses advantages and disadvantages of each system.

Economics Intro M1 2020 COVID SEASON sem2
This document provides an introduction to economics, including key concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, and different types of economic analysis. It discusses that resources are limited and wants are unlimited, so economics studies how to allocate resources to satisfy demands. Microeconomics examines individual and business decision-making, while macroeconomics analyzes overall economic behavior at a national level. Resources like land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship are scarce. Scarcity requires making choices that incur an opportunity cost of forgone benefits. The document outlines the importance of economics for consumers, producers and governments in making efficient decisions.
Econ topic 1.0
This document provides an introduction to principles of economics. It begins by posing questions to assess the reader's knowledge of current economic data. It then defines key economic concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, and tradeoffs using examples of household and business decision making. Microeconomics is introduced as the study of individual agents, while macroeconomics looks at aggregate outcomes. Positive economics aims to objectively describe and predict economic systems, whereas normative economics judges whether outcomes are good or bad. Three key economic principles are outlined: people face tradeoffs, opportunity cost helps determine the best choice, and people respond to incentives. Diagrams are provided to illustrate production possibility frontiers and opportunity costs.
Review
This document provides definitions and descriptions of key concepts related to decision making. It defines decision making as identifying and choosing alternatives based on a decision maker's values and preferences. There must be genuine alternatives to choose from, and decisions are made according to evaluation criteria. Decision making aims to reduce but not eliminate uncertainty. Types of decisions include whether to proceed, choosing among options, and contingent decisions made when conditions are met. The decision making process is recursive, moving between criteria and alternatives. Every decision is made within a constrained environment, and delaying decisions allows more information and alternatives to emerge over time. Too much information can also impair decision making. Decisions are made in the context of prior related decisions.

Black Lives Matter Movement (BLM)
The BLM’s major objective is to campaigns against racism towards black race.BLM is an international activists group founded in the United States. The image 1 below shows a black child involved in the campaign against racism and killing of black community.The discrimination against the black people includes children and adults. This has led to children being involved in protests against police killings in the United States. According to the artifact even the black children are discriminated due to their skin color and this has led to both young and adults to join the protest and inform the world that black people lives matter.

Source (Robinson, 2015)
Image 2 below black people protesting in the streets, the BLM seeks to advocate against racism and killing of black people. The movement seeks to address dehumanization of black people who are violently killed by police officers and vigilantes.BLM goes beyond racism and it advocates for black people to love black, but black and live black. In the image 2 below the protestors are wearing black which represent black liberation. The movement seeks for black people to be identified to be equal to other races without any form of discrimination. There should be equal rights to all individuals regardless of skin color.
Image 2
Source (Robinson, 2015)
In a clip by Bethel Archive Teaching (2016), an angry SUV driver runs through the BLM protestors and it also shows law enforcers assaulting a BLM protestor. From the clip, it is clear that some people are not ready to accept black community to be equal to the white race(Teaching, 2016). The driver does not appreciate the BLM effort in advocating for the liberation of black people from racism and extra judicial killings. On the other hand, the police officers are assaulting an unharmed protestor; this reflects that the law enforcers are not ready to protect the rights and lives of black people.

The document teaches students how to identify the different parts of an argumentative essay and effectively construct arguments with evidence.
What is Economics?
Economics is the study of how people and societies choose to use scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants and needs. It can explain circumstances like rising food costs when gas prices increase. Economics begins with the concept of scarcity - that resources are limited and not enough to fulfill all human wants. People and organizations must make choices in how to allocate resources. Businesses must decide how to produce goods and services, how much to spend, and how many people to hire. Governments must choose whether to spend money on parks or schools. Economics studies how people and entities seek to satisfy needs and wants through decision making in the face of scarce resources.
Pe intro to econ
1. The document discusses basic economic concepts including scarcity, factors of production, opportunity cost, and different economic systems.
2. It provides an overview of the American economy, noting it has characteristics of both capitalism such as private property and competition, as well as some government intervention.
3. The circular flow model is presented as depicting how money and goods flow between households, businesses, and factors and product markets in a market economy.

NASA is soliciting proposals from private companies to build a new rocket in 1960. Companies should submit a 5 part proposal including price. NASA will be the sole purchaser of rockets.
03 ch17 oligopoly
The three market structures are perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. They seem to depend on the number of firms in the industry and level of product differentiation. Oligopoly is characterized by having a few large firms, similar but not identical products, and interdependent decision making. The concentration ratio measures the percentage of total market output produced by the top four firms, with higher ratios indicating less competition. Several US industries have very high concentration ratios, including video game consoles at 100% and credit cards at 99%.

Mon economic assumptions
This document appears to be notes from an economics class discussing foundational economic concepts. It introduces the idea that economics is about how people make choices and face trade-offs given limited resources. It discusses opportunity costs, rational decision making at the margins using cost-benefit analysis, how people respond to incentives, and how trade can make all parties better off. Students are assigned to read the introduction of an economics textbook and write a lesson plan teaching high school students about opportunity costs and marginal analysis.

Economics Intro M1 2020 COVID SEASON sem2
This document provides an introduction to economics, including key concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, and different types of economic analysis. It discusses that resources are limited and wants are unlimited, so economics studies how to allocate resources to satisfy demands. Microeconomics examines individual and business decision-making, while macroeconomics analyzes overall economic behavior at a national level. Resources like land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship are scarce. Scarcity requires making choices that incur an opportunity cost of forgone benefits. The document outlines the importance of economics for consumers, producers and governments in making efficient decisions.
Econ topic 1.0
This document provides an introduction to principles of economics. It begins by posing questions to assess the reader's knowledge of current economic data. It then defines key economic concepts like scarcity, opportunity cost, and tradeoffs using examples of household and business decision making. Microeconomics is introduced as the study of individual agents, while macroeconomics looks at aggregate outcomes. Positive economics aims to objectively describe and predict economic systems, whereas normative economics judges whether outcomes are good or bad. Three key economic principles are outlined: people face tradeoffs, opportunity cost helps determine the best choice, and people respond to incentives. Diagrams are provided to illustrate production possibility frontiers and opportunity costs.
Review
This document provides definitions and descriptions of key concepts related to decision making. It defines decision making as identifying and choosing alternatives based on a decision maker's values and preferences. There must be genuine alternatives to choose from, and decisions are made according to evaluation criteria. Decision making aims to reduce but not eliminate uncertainty. Types of decisions include whether to proceed, choosing among options, and contingent decisions made when conditions are met. The decision making process is recursive, moving between criteria and alternatives. Every decision is made within a constrained environment, and delaying decisions allows more information and alternatives to emerge over time. Too much information can also impair decision making. Decisions are made in the context of prior related decisions.

Black Lives Matter Movement
Student’s Name
Institutional Affiliation
Black Lives Matter Movement (BLM)
The BLM’s major objective is to campaigns against racism towards black race.BLM is an international activists group founded in the United States. The image 1 below shows a black child involved in the campaign against racism and killing of black community.The discrimination against the black people includes children and adults. This has led to children being involved in protests against police killings in the United States. According to the artifact even the black children are discriminated due to their skin color and this has led to both young and adults to join the protest and inform the world that black people lives matter.

Source (Robinson, 2015)
Image 2 below black people protesting in the streets, the BLM seeks to advocate against racism and killing of black people. The movement seeks to address dehumanization of black people who are violently killed by police officers and vigilantes.BLM goes beyond racism and it advocates for black people to love black, but black and live black. In the image 2 below the protestors are wearing black which represent black liberation. The movement seeks for black people to be identified to be equal to other races without any form of discrimination. There should be equal rights to all individuals regardless of skin color.
Image 2
Source (Robinson, 2015)
In a clip by Bethel Archive Teaching (2016), an angry SUV driver runs through the BLM protestors and it also shows law enforcers assaulting a BLM protestor. From the clip, it is clear that some people are not ready to accept black community to be equal to the white race(Teaching, 2016). The driver does not appreciate the BLM effort in advocating for the liberation of black people from racism and extra judicial killings. On the other hand, the police officers are assaulting an unharmed protestor; this reflects that the law enforcers are not ready to protect the rights and lives of black people.

What is Economics?
Economics is the study of how people and societies choose to use scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants and needs. It can explain circumstances like rising food costs when gas prices increase. Economics begins with the concept of scarcity - that resources are limited and not enough to fulfill all human wants. People and organizations must make choices in how to allocate resources. Businesses must decide how to produce goods and services, how much to spend, and how many people to hire. Governments must choose whether to spend money on parks or schools. Economics studies how people and entities seek to satisfy needs and wants through decision making in the face of scarce resources.
Pe intro to econ
1. The document discusses basic economic concepts including scarcity, factors of production, opportunity cost, and different economic systems.

Monopsony market structure
NASA is soliciting proposals from private companies to build a new rocket in 1960. Companies should submit a 5 part proposal including price. NASA will be the sole purchaser of rockets.
03 ch17 oligopoly
The three market structures are perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. They seem to depend on the number of firms in the industry and level of product differentiation. Oligopoly is characterized by having a few large firms, similar but not identical products, and interdependent decision making. The concentration ratio measures the percentage of total market output produced by the top four firms, with higher ratios indicating less competition. Several US industries have very high concentration ratios, including video game consoles at 100% and credit cards at 99%.
02 allocative efficiency
This document discusses different types of economic efficiency including allocative efficiency, productive efficiency, and dynamic efficiency. It examines these efficiencies in the context of perfect competition, monopoly, and monopolistic competition market structures. Productive efficiency refers to producing at lowest cost while dynamic efficiency involves reinvesting supernormal profits into lowering costs further. The document considers which market structure results in each type of efficiency.
01 monopolistic comp
This document contains snippets of text from various sources discussing economic concepts like market structures, competition, and costs. It includes brief explanations of perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly market types. Students are asked questions about different markets and perfect competition. Graphs are shown for perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and marginal revenue under monopolistic competition with deadweight loss.
01 3 reform
This document discusses the Reformation period in Christianity between 500-1500 AD. It provides background that during this time all Christians were Catholic, led by the Pope and bishops. The priests sold indulgences claiming they could reduce time in purgatory. Martin Luther protested the Catholic Church's corruption in 1517, sparking the Protestant reformation. Luther and other reformers disagreed with practices like selling indulgences and wanted people to be able to read the Bible in their own language. The document examines key figures and events of the Reformation like Martin Luther, his 95 Theses, and the new Protestant churches that formed.
Pharm mon to perfect
This document discusses demand for lifesaving pharmaceuticals and the pricing of drugs under a monopoly. It asks how the demand curve would look if a firm had a patent on a cure for cancer and what deadweight loss would be. It also asks if such a firm should be allowed to charge any price and how quantity supplied would change if the firm price discriminated. The document then provides a graph showing the transition from a monopoly market to a competitive market when a drug patent expires and generics enter. It asks about other similar markets and provides links about copyright and public domain works.
Price discriminating monopolist
This document discusses the concept of price discrimination. It begins by defining price discrimination as selling the same good at different prices to different buyers based on their willingness to pay. It provides examples such as student/senior discounts and differences in airline ticket prices. The document explains that under perfect price discrimination, a monopolist can capture all consumer surplus as profit and eliminate deadweight loss. However, in reality firms can only imperfectly discriminate by dividing customers into groups based on observable traits related to willingness to pay. It concludes by asking questions about whether price discrimination should always be illegal and discussing the "Soup Nazi" character from Seinfeld.
Monopoly types
This document discusses monopolies and public policy related to monopolies. It begins by explaining the key characteristics of a monopoly market, including that a monopoly has total pricing power as the sole seller of a good or service. It then discusses the different types of monopolies such as geographic, government-granted, technological, and natural monopolies. The document goes on to explain how a profit-maximizing monopoly determines its optimal quantity and price using demand and marginal cost curves. It notes that a monopoly produces a lower quantity and charges a higher price than would be produced under perfect competition, resulting in deadweight loss. Finally, it discusses various public policy options for dealing with monopolies, such as antitrust laws to increase competition, regulation

This document contains instructions for a homework assignment about the Medici family during the Renaissance. Students are asked to answer 7 questions: 1) identifying if a source is primary or secondary, 2) discussing how the Medici family business helped Europeans, 3) considering why the Medici patronized artists, 4) listing 3 Medici contributions people enjoy today, 5) analyzing the Medici view on education, 6) evaluating the impact of powerful families, and 7) creating a timeline of 5 Medici family events. The document repeats the assignment questions multiple times.
Block renaissanceart
This document provides an overview of Renaissance art and key concepts about the Renaissance period from the 1300s to 1550. It discusses causes of the Renaissance like the rediscovery of Greek/Roman ideas and art. Renaissance art is characterized by elements like perspective, realism, contrast between light and dark, and depicting humanism in Greek/Roman styles. The document lists and shows images of famous Renaissance artists like Michelangelo, Donatello, Da Vinci, and Raphael and some of their iconic works. Students are assigned a task analyzing Renaissance paintings or creating original art in the Renaissance style.
Mon printing press
The document discusses the impact of the printing press invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s-1600s. It notes that before the printing press, all books were handwritten which was a long and difficult process. The printing press allowed books and new ideas to spread widely across Europe, helping to end ignorance. This was a factor in the Renaissance period, a time of "rebirth" in European culture and society. The document suggests Gutenberg is one of the most important people to ever live due to his role in popularizing printing.
Shut down point and profit
The document contains examples and explanations of microeconomic concepts related to firm behavior including:
1. How a competitive firm determines its profit-maximizing quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
2. How the marginal cost curve determines the firm's supply decision - if price is above marginal cost, the firm will increase output.
3. The difference between a firm's short-run decision to shutdown if price is below average variable cost, versus its long-run decision to exit the market if price is below average total cost.
Black plague wed thur
The document discusses the deadliness of diseases over time. It mentions that the Black Plague killed 30-50% of Europe's population in the 1300s. Students are asked to compare graphs showing which diseases are not as deadly today and which two diseases remain deadly. The document also discusses a modern plague outbreak in Madagascar in 2013 and brainstorms ways the US and Madagascar governments could help prevent future outbreaks. Students are assigned to create a 4-page health pamphlet for people in the 1300s about the symptoms, prevention, and societal impacts of the Bubonic Plague.
04 black plague wed thur
The document discusses several deadly pandemics throughout history, including the Black Death plague which originated in China and spread along the Silk Road to Europe in the 14th century, killing an estimated 30-50% of the European population. Students are assigned to write a letter from a Silk Road trader during this time period describing how life has changed in Rome due to the plague, symptoms of the disease, and how to prevent its spread. Other assignments involve analyzing the impact of a modern disease outbreak and creating an educational pamphlet about the bubonic plague.
03 intolerance today
The document provides instructions for students to complete assignments on discrimination and religious intolerance. Students are asked to describe a time they witnessed discrimination and how they responded, and how they will respond in the future. They are also assigned a group poster project analyzing cases of extreme religious intolerance by indicating the location, groups involved, and events, and conveying a message about the effects of such behavior.
02 intolerance inquisition
The document discusses the religious protections guaranteed by the First Amendment and how countries may change if they adopted different state religions. It provides background on countries with official state religions, the concept of a theocracy where government is run by religious rules, and details about the Spanish Inquisition where the Catholic church ruled Spain and persecuted those who did not conform to Catholic doctrine.
01 end of crusades
Constantinople was important during the Crusades as it was the capital of the Byzantine Empire and controlled the trade routes between Europe and Asia. Spain was under Muslim control during the Crusades. The document provides notes about Crusades events like the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099 and Battle of Nicopolis in 1396, and asks questions about Crusader advantages and Ibn Fadlan's travels.
Perfect comp m t
This document discusses competition in markets through a series of examples and questions. It begins with an experiment involving different levels of competition and asks students to consider how it affects pricing power. It then discusses the benefits and drawbacks of competition for consumers and producers. Various market structures are introduced, including perfect competition as exemplified by markets like gasoline, salt, and paper clips. Firms in perfect competition are price takers, and the document explores how they can increase revenue and profit given these constraints.
Sports assignment
The Tohono O'odham tribe wants to build a soccer stadium next to their casino. This would create both positive and negative externalities for the local community and governments. Negative externalities could include increased traffic and noise, while positive externalities could include more jobs and tax revenue. Finding ways to minimize the harm to neighbors, such as addressing traffic issues, would help gain city support for financing the stadium project. Understanding the elasticity of demand for tickets, concessions, and merchandise through price changes would help the tribe maximize revenue.
Cost curves computer lab
This document provides instructions for creating graphs using an online graphing tool to illustrate various microeconomics concepts related to supply and demand, costs of production, and market equilibrium. Students are asked to create graphs showing: a unit elastic supply/demand curve with price controls; a market with negative externalities; the effect of a per unit tax; short-run cost curves and break-even analysis; and supply/demand shifts in response to current events. The final questions provide an additional economics game and a request for new classroom tools.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
