Ex.6. Read the projects and discuss them

1. Think about your favorite chair or sofa at home. Which things were needed to produce them? Prepare a list of all the factors of production which would be needed to produce a chair or sofa. When you have completed the list, go back and identify which of the three basic categories of factors of production each of the things you listed falls into.

2. Suppose you suddenly received $25 to use in any way you wished. (Perhaps for your general good behavior or just for being such a nice person!). You may use it all on one activity or item, or you may use it to do more than one thing. Prepare a list of seven alternative uses for the $25. Each combination of things which would cost $25 should be considered as one of the separate alternatives. When you have completed your list of seven alternatives, rank them in order of your preference. Indicate which alternative is your first choice, which your second, and so on. Write a statement discussing why you selected the alternative you did for your first choice.
