Resources are the factors of production that are used in the production of goods & services. Types of resources are natural, human, capital and entrepreneurship.

Sometimes there are many choices.
Sometimes only a few choices. “Lookin’ good, playa!” ← Check out the shoes.
Choice is selecting an _item_ or _action_ from a set of possible alternatives. We must make choices because goods & services are _limited_.
Since resources are limited… You have to make smart choices.
Opportunity Cost is what is _given_ _up_ when a choice is made - the next _highest valued alternative. Individuals must consider the _value_ of what is given up when making a _choice__.
Incentives are things that incite or motivate someone to make a choice. Incentives are used to change economic_ _behavior_.
Price is the amount of _money exchanged for a good or service. Interaction of _supply_ and __demand__ determines price.
Price determines who gets _goods_ and _services__. KNOCHE $$ Too Much $$ (for you)

Supply is the amount of a good or service that _producers_ are willing and able to _sell_ at a certain price. Generally if… Supply is high → Price is _low_ Supply is low → Price is _high_
