    Study Notes

    Supply and Demand

    • Eric wants to buy a new pair of Bounce Shoes, but the store has sold out and will not receive a new shipment for two weeks, illustrating a decrease in supply and an increase in demand.
    • This scenario may lead to an increase in price due to the high demand and limited supply.

    Free Market

    • The scenario above describes a free market in the free enterprise system, where the supply and demand of a product determine its price.
    • The store's apology and notification of a new shipment in two weeks reflect the interactions between producers and consumers in a free market.

    Production and Profit

    • Julia's store sells necklaces, rings, and earrings, and she makes a profit of $2.50 per necklace by selling them for $3.00 while only costing 50 cents to make.
    • If Julia uses beads that cost $1.00 in her necklaces, her profit might decrease, as her costs would increase.

    Budgeting

    • To celebrate a pet hamster's birthday, a budget is created from a $15 piggy bank and a $5 allowance from helping with chores.
    • The budget allocates funds for decorations, food, a gift, savings, and a donation to a local pet shelter.

    Scarcity

    • The scenario with 24 kids wanting to color with only 3 markers illustrates the concept of scarcity, where the demand for a resource exceeds its availability.

    Mass Production

    • Henry Ford sold more cars at a lower price by using an assembly line, which increased efficiency and reduced production costs.

    Pricing Strategies

    • If Ms. Marcel's class wants to sell more cupcakes at a bake sale, they should consider lowering the price, making more cupcakes, or using alternative strategies.

    Budgeting and Financial Planning

    • Tamika's parents create a budget to allocate their money for different purposes, including earning, saving, spending, and donating.
    • The budget includes items like setting aside money for a vacation, contributing to a charity, and paying bills.
