- Economics affects nearly everything we do in some way. Someone else has produced most items we consume, or use, in our daily lives, from food to clothes to music to gas for our cars. Chances are, when we purchase these daily items, we don't question the price with the producer. But in the United States, the interactions between the consumers and producers determine quite a lot in terms of business and economics. Think about the items and services that you and your family buy or consume. What causes you to pay the prices that you do for these goods and services? What determines the price that's on the price tag? What goes into determining, or setting, that price? Consider all the possible elements that could influence the prices you pay.arrow_forwardWhat are the three (3) most important things that you believe should be done to reduce hunger in our country(philippines)?arrow_forwardHow do economic factors such as a recession or consumers having more money impact the demand and needs of future generations?arrow_forward

On the surface, a great business. But there’s a catch—everybody and his brother sells T-shirts. Every beach resort has dozens of T-shirt shops. And they sprout like weeds at every major sporting or concert venue. And then there are all the online sites that offer custom designs and quick delivery. So, the competition is intense. This makes it near impossible for any T-shirt shop to raise the price of its T-shirts, much less hold on to profits. The owner of a T-shirt shop in South Padre Island, Texas, lamented, “Every day you have to compete with other shops.
