Eco And Busi Revision!

Today I revised Economics and Business Studies as well!

*Economics:

I have read all 10 pages very carefully and I have learnt glossaries.Here are some main glossaries that I wrote without looking at a book(just a little bit...^^):
  • Economics:the study of how to allocate scarce resources in the most effective way
  • Economic problem:how to allocate scarce resources among the alternative uses
  • Household:group of people whose spending decisions are connected
  • Micro economics:the study of how house holds and firms make decisions in market
  • Macro economics:the study of issues taht affect economies as a whole
  • Factor of production:the resource inputs that are available in an economy for the production of goods and services
  • Entrepreneur:someone who bears the risks of the business and who organises production.
  • Production:the output of goods and services
  • Scarcity:not enough resources to meet unlimited wants
  • Opportunity cost:the cost of the next best alternative
  • Subsidy: a payment by a governing body to encourage the production of consumption of a product
  • Productivity:output
*Business Studies:

I revised the "break-even" topic, and here are some formulaes:
  1. Break-even=Fix cost/ unit contribution
  2. Unit contribution=Selling price - variable cost
  3. Profit=Total contribution-Fix cost=Total sales revenue-Total cost
  4. Total contribution=Unit contribution*Quantity
  5. Total sales revenue=selling price*Quantity
  6. Total cost=Fix cost+Variable cost*Quantity
And this is the way to draw break-even diagram in order:
  1. Calculate sales revenue
  2. Calculate total variable cost
  3. Calculate total cost
  4. Calculate break even
  5. Calculate profit
  6. After the calculation start to draw the diagram
*Note*:Always remember do the calculation first then draw a diagram to make your digram more accurate

IF you want to see the video of break even chart is here!
