Brief Explanations
- Question 15: "Ceteris paribus" is a Latin term commonly used in economics (a sub - field of Business) which means "all other things held constant". "Cetera desunt" means "the rest are wanting", "exempli gratia" means "for example", and "e pluribus unum" means "out of many, one".
- Question 16: The key economic questions are "What to produce?", "How to produce?", and "For whom to produce?". By choosing to sell locally available meats (rabbit, caribou, venison, elk) instead of more common meats (beef, chicken, pork), I aon is answering the "What goods and services should be produced?" question.
- Question 17: "Thinking at the margin" in economics (Business - Economics sub - field) means making decisions about doing a little more or a little less of an activity. It is about incremental changes. Deciding how much more or less to do (e.g., producing one more unit of a good, consuming one more unit of a service) is the essence of thinking at the margin. Deciding how much you need to do (A) is a more absolute decision, deciding what not to do (B) is a binary decision (do or do not), and deciding what needs to be done (C) is a general decision about the existence of a task rather than its marginal quantity.
