    To develop a new combination of the other factors of production, thereby creating something of value! :D

  10. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidise it.

    Helloo!!

    Scarcity - means that all the resources that satisfies our needs and wants are not sufficient.

    3 basic question are:
    - how to produce?
    - who to produce?
    - what to produce?

  19. Elasticity = (% change in quantity / % change in price) :P

    If elasticity is greater than or equal to one the curve is considered to be elastic. If it is less than one the curve is said to be inelastic!!! we just learned that last week :)
