Іі. Прочитайте та перекладіть текст українською мовою:

The economy is for us. “The economy” s simply and abstraction that refers to the sum of all our individual production and consumption activities. In orders to produce anything, we need resources, or factors of production. Factors of production are the inputs – land, labor, and capital (buildings and machinery) we use to produce final goods and services (output).

Unfortunately, the quantity of available resources is limited. We cannot produce everything we want in the quantities we desire. Resources are scarce relative to our desires. This fact forces us to make difficult choices. Hence the more missiles we build, the less other goods and services we can produce at the same time.

Opportunity costs exist in all situations where available resources are not abundant enough to satisfy all our desires.

Indeed, economics is often defined as the study of economics focuses on “getting the most from what we’ve got”, on making the best use of our scarce resources.

Production possibilities are the alternative combinations of final goods and services that could be produced in a given time period with all available resources and technology.

According to the law of increasing opportunity costs we must give up everincreasing quantities of other goods and services in order to get more of particular good.
