of goods an economy can achieve when all its resources are fully and efficiently
employed, given the level of technology.
Opportunity Cost - answerThe next best alternative foregone.
Economic Growth - answerIncrease an economy's productive potential.
Capital Goods - answerGoods intended for use in production, rather than by
consumers.
,Consumer Goods - answerGoods designed for use by final consumers.
Renewable Resources - answerA resource whose stock level can be replenished

(Output per Worker).
Barter - answerAn exchange of goods/services for other goods/services.
- Does not involve money.
- Double coincidence of wants.

% Change - answery2 - y1 / y1 × 100
Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) - answerThe responsiveness of demand to changes in
price.
The value is always negative.
% ∆QD / % ∆P × 100
Unitary Price Elasticity (Ped) - answerPed = 1
Perfectly Price Inelastic (Ped) - answerPed = 0
Price Inelastic (Ped) - answerPed is < 1
Perfectly Price Elastic (Ped) - answerPed = ∞
Price Elastic (Ped) - answerPed is > 1
Total Revenue - answerPrice × Quantity
Income Elasticity of Demand (YED) - answerThe responsiveness of demand to changes
in income.
%∆QD / %∆Y × 100
Negative - Inferior Good (Y increases, QD decreases)
Positive - Normal Good (Y increases, QD increases).
