POLLUTION: Any waste that imposes an opportunity cost when it's returned to the natural environment. Pollution is one of the more prevalent examples of an externality cost and market failure. Examples include, but by no means are limited to, car exhaust, municipal sewage, industrial waste, and agricultural chemical runoff from farms. Pollution waste can be classified as degradable, persistent, or nondegradable, depending on how easily it can be broken down into nonharmful form by the natural environment. Pollution problems can never be eliminated, but they can be handled with efficiency if the amount of pollution is such that the cost of damages is the same as the cost of cleanup.

|
Page: 15 of 25

|
The four sectors of the economy buy ALL current economic production and when aggregated give us GDP. The four sectors and their expenditures: - Household: Consumption (C).
- Business: Investment (I).
- Government: Government Expenditures (G).
- Foreign: Net Exports (X-M), the difference between Exports (X) and Imports (I).
Expenditures on GDP: GDP = C + I + G + (X-M)- C, I and G buy not just domestic goods and services, but also imports.
- When we aggregate C, I, G and X we have domestic production plus imports. To measure only domestic production, we subtract imports (M).

MARGINAL UTILITY AND DEMAND An explanation of the law of demand and the negatively-sloped demand curve based on utility analysis and the law of diminishing marginal utility. The law of diminishing marginal utility states that marginal utility declines as consumption increases. Because demand price depends on the marginal utility obtained from a good, price also declines as consumption increases, meaning price and quantity demanded are inversely related, which is the law of demand.
