BENEFIT-COST ANALYSIS: An analytical technique that compares the benefit generated by an activity with its opportunity cost of production. The rule is that if benefits exceed costs, then the activity is efficient and should be undertaken. In some cases the end result of benefit-cost analysis is net benefits, which is benefits minus cost. A positive value means the activity is efficient. In other cases the end result of benefit-cost analysis is a benefit-cost ratio, which is benefits divided by costs. A ratio greater than 1.0 is thus the indication of an efficient activity.

We can use production possibilities to illustrate unemployment, too.- Unemployment is the condition that exists when some available resources are NOT engaged in the production of goods and services.
- Unemployment is interpreted as any bundle that places the economy INSIDE the production possibilities curve.
- With unemployment we don't get as much production as with full employment.
- Unemployment is as any bundle, such as L, inside the curve.
- M is not attainable.
- Unemployment applies to all types of resources.

PERSONAL INCOME AND NATIONAL INCOME Personal income (PI) is the total income received by the members of the domestic household sector, which may or may not be earned from productive activities during a given period of time. National income (NI) is the total income earned by the citizens of the national economy resulting from their ownership of resources used in the production, which may or may not be received by members of the household sector. Personal income can be derived from national income by subtracting income earned but not received (IEBNR) and adding income received but not earned (IRBNE).
