AP Economics Chapter 2 Review/Summary Economics deals with choices. In this chapter we have examined more carefully the range of choices in production that must be made in any economy. In particular, we looked at choices involving the allocation of an economy?s factors of production: labor, capital, and natural resources. In addition, in any economy, the level of technology plays a key role in determining how productive the factors of production will be. In a market economy, entrepreneurs organize factors of production and act to introduce technological change.

Supply/Demand Notes (In-Class Lecture) Demand- Demand: The amount of a good/service that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given price and time. Price is a big factor is quantity demand; lower prices means the demand is higher, while higher prices means the demand is lower Example: Polo Shirts at $18.99 = Higher QTY. Demand Polo Shirts at $38.99 = Lower QTY. Demand Lower prices mean more buying^^ Law of Demand: An increase in a good?s price causes a decrease in qty. demanded Elastic Demand: A small change in price which affects qty. demand Example: Fast Food Coupons that are given out via mailing (restaurants experience more qty. demand/customers during this time because of lower prices the coupons offer) *Are all goods considered elastic?

Economics Chapter 6: Markets, Maximizers, and Efficiency Start Up: A Drive in the Country Suppose you decide to take a drive. For purposes in this example, we?ll assume that you have a car, that the weather is nice, and there?s an area nearby that?ll be perfect for the drive. Your decision to take a drive is a choice. Since economics deal w/ choices, we can put econ. To work in thinking about it. Economists assume that people make choices that maxes utility Utility is the satisfaction you gain from your use of goods/services and from activities you do You plan to enjoy the drive; the enjoyment is the benefit you expect. But, you?ll give up some things as well.

Economics Chapter 5, Elasticity: A Measure of Response Notes Start Up: Raise Fares? Lower Fares? What?s A Public Transit Manager To Do? Imagine that you?re the manager of a public transportation system for a large area. Costs of operating have soared in the last few years, and you?re under pressure to boost revenue. What do you do? An obvious choice is to raise fares; that?ll make customers angry, but it will generate the extra revenue you need.. Or will it? The law of demand says that raising fares will reduce the number of passengers riding on the system. If the number falls only a little, then the higher fares that your remaining passengers pay might produce the higher revenues you need

DBQ 13 During the Gilded Age, the 30 year time period after the Civil War, America as a country began to shift in ways of life and political beliefs. The industrial revolution began with an increase in railroads, telegraph, steel, oil, and more. As a shift from the previous agricultural based time period before the civil war to manufacturing, farmers are feeling the direct impact of this economic shift. During this time, the economic disputes, political imbalances, and social shifts explains why farmers were discontent with the nations politics. As a result, the number of farmers in the US declined, the Farmers Alliance was created, and a new third party known as the Populist party arose.
