Activity 2: PRODUCTION FACTORS
GROUP:
Picture a household / family in which all the factors of production are present. Explain the role of each member to show how he / she participates in the production process. The members of each group must explain their examples to the rest of the class and also describe them fully.
Therefore the economic cycle could be presented as follows in its simplest form:
PRODUCERS / BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
On analysing the cycle, one can see very clearly that there are TWO streams, namely a MONEY STREAM and a GOODS STREAM. These two streams flow in opposite directions and will be equal in a “closed” economy. The reason for this is simply that the businesses cannot spend more than what they have received as “income”. Note that their “income” is equal to the value of the goods and services that they have produced and sold on the markets for consumer goods. On the other hand the households can also spend only the “money” that they have received as compensation for the services of their production factors.
