  1. Economics 1-2: ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How do goods and services flow between businesses, households, and government? GPS STANDARD: SSEM11- The student will describe how households, businesses, and governments are interdependent and interact through flows of goods, services, and money.

  2. Goods, Services, and Consumers • Goods are items that are economically useful or satisfy an economic want. They are tangible and can be classified as consumer/capital and durable/ nondurable. • Services are work performed for someone and are intangible. • Consumers use goods and services to satisfy wants and needs.

  3. Value, Utility, and Wealth • Value is worth expressed in dollars and cents. Scarcity by itself is not enough to create value. For something to have value, it must also have utility. • Utility is a good’s or service’s capacity to provide satisfaction, which varies with the needs and wants of each person.

  4. Value, Utility, and Wealth • Wealth is the accumulation of goods that are tangible, scarce, useful, and transferable to another person. Wealth does not include services.

  5. The Circular Flow of Economic Activity • Markets are locations/mechanisms for buyers and sellers to trade. They are classified as local, regional, national, global, and cyberspace. • A factor market is where people earn their incomes. Factor markets center on the four factors of production: land, capital, labor, and entrepreneurs.

  6. The Circular Flow of Economic Activity • A product market is where people use their income to buy from producers. Product markets center on goods and services.

  7. The Circular Flow of Economic Activity • The circular flow diagram shows the high degree of economic interdependence in our economy. • In this diagram, the factors of production and the products made from them flow in one direction. • The payments for the factors, which consumers spend on goods and services, flow in the opposite direction.
