WEALTH PYRAMID: A handy technique that many get-rich-quick schemes use to transfer a little wealth from a lot of people into the overflowing pockets of a few. In works in this manner--A person or business establishes a multi-level pyramid of investors, employees, or "distributors." Each level is responsible for recruiting the next level beneath it. The trick is that each distributor at one level recruits several distributors into the next lower level in an ever-expanding fashion. Each recruit transfers a little, teeny, tiny bit of their own wealth to the next higher level. In that each higher level has fewer members, that little, teeny, tiny bit of wealth accumulates rapidly, making those at the top incredibly well-off.

Lesson 4: Production Possibilities | Unit 2: The Schedule Page: 5 of 24

Topic: Set Up <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

This is a simple, hypothetical production possibilities schedule for the economy.
  • The economy is using all resources with given technology to efficiently produce two goods, jogging shoes and quartz clock calibrators.
  • Bundles A through K represent production alternatives for the economy, such as bundle D with 3 calibrators and 425 pairs of shoes. We have unlimited possibilities using available resources and technology to the fullest extent.
  • All shoes, no calibrators, bundle A.
  • All calibrators, no shoes, bundle K.
  • Some of each good, bundles E or J.
  • How about 9 calibrators and 410 pairs of shoes? No! Each bundle is the maximum we can produce.

PERFECT COMPETITION, SHUTDOWN

A perfectly competitive firm is presumed to shutdown production and produce no output in the short run, if price is less than average variable cost. This is one of three short-run production alternatives facing a firm. The other two are profit maximization (if price exceeds average total cost) and loss minimization (if price is greater than average variable cost but less than average total cost).
