Anyway was revising my work here's some economics term:
  1. Opportunity cost- the true cost of smt is wat u give up to get this includes not only the $ u spent in buying (or doing), but also the economic benefits that u did w/o bcos u bought of did smt else.
  2. Positive economics- attempts 2 establish cause n effect in a scientific manner. Hypotheses r formulated n these r then checked against observed facts.
  3. Normative economics- is concerned w establishing e means by which socially desirable outcomes can b achieved.
  4. Marginal utility- is how much extra utility a person gets from consuming (or doing) an extra unit of smt.
  5. Demand- is not just about measuring what pple want, for economists, it refers 2 e amt of a good or service tat pple are both willing n able 2 buy.
  6. Supply- is e amt of a good or service available at any particular price.
