ANNUITY: The receipt of payments at regular intervals from a established fund. Annuities are commonly used for insurance and retirement programs. It works in this way: A fund, which can be established either through a one-time sum of money or a series of payments, is exhausted over time with fixed, periodic payments. The amount of each payment depends on the interest accrued on the outstanding balance in the fund, and the length of time scheduled to exhaust the fund. For example, if your pension plan is based on an annuity that begins payments at the age of 65, then the size of the payments depends on whether you expect to live 5, 10, 15, or more years and set up payments accordingly. It's very similar to amortization, but in the reverse direction.

Opportunity cost is greater as we produce more calibrators. Why?- The law of increasing opportunity cost which says that the opportunity cost of producing a good increases as more and more of the good is produced.
- Third rule of inequality. All resources are not equally suited to produce all goods.
- First calibrator (A to B) uses resources best suited for calibrators and least suited for shoes.
- Tenth calibrator (J to K) uses resources least suited for calibrators and best suited for shoes.
- As more of a good is produced and supplied, opportunity cost increases.

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires...courage." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
