Gauge Your Risk Tolerance
Imagine you are about to purchase your retirement condo on the beach.
You have the selection of any suite in the development from the ground floor to the penthouse.
Which would you select, and why?
Risk tolerance:Is the Reward worth the Risk?

Standard of Living/Quality of Life
Standard of Living: related to the amount of goods & services people can buy with the money they have.
Quality of Life: related to the general well-being of society in terms of political freedom, a clean environment, health care, safety, free time, & every else that leads to satisfaction & joy.
How much you have minus how much you owe? If you had no debt would your quality of life improve?

What is Economics?
Economics studies how society chooses to use resources to produce goods & services & distribute them for consumption among various competing groups & individuals.
Macroeconomics Microeconomicsstudy aggregates individuals & firmswhole economy choices & behavior
![Page 37: Introduction to Business BUS& 101 Olympic College Professor: Alan M. Ward](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de55503460f94adc768/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Adam Smith
The Economics of Growth – The Wealth of Nations, 1776
Private ownership of land (resources)Keep profits from business or laborIncentives of wealth for providing goods &
services to othersMaking the pie bigger for everyone to prosper
![Page 38: Introduction to Business BUS& 101 Olympic College Professor: Alan M. Ward](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de55503460f94adc768/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Businesses Benefit the Community
Adam Smith did not believe that business people set out to help others. They worked primarily for their own prosperity & growth.
As people improved their own situation in life (quality of life), their efforts helped grow the
economy. The “invisible hand” of self-directed gain turns into social & economic benefit for all.
![Page 39: Introduction to Business BUS& 101 Olympic College Professor: Alan M. Ward](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de55503460f94adc768/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Free-Market Capitalism
Resources owned by individuals & firmsnot by governments
Production decisions are made to make profits
No country is purely capitalist; government act as referee, guide, or arbitor
![Page 40: Introduction to Business BUS& 101 Olympic College Professor: Alan M. Ward](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de55503460f94adc768/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The Basics of Capitalism
The right to own property
The right to own a business & keep the profits
The right to freedom of competition
The right to freedom of choice

The Supply Curve Shows
The combinations of options for the quantity supplied (produced) at any set price.
Suppliers will have less incentive to produce in large quantities unless the price per item is higher than the costs of production. As price goes up, quantity supplied goes up, also.
The Supply Curve has a positive slope S

The Demand Curve Shows
The combinations of options for the quantity demanded (purchased) at any set price.
Consumers will have less incentive to buy in large quantities unless the price per item is lower due to budget restraints. As price goes up, quantity demanded goes down.
![Page 45: Introduction to Business BUS& 101 Olympic College Professor: Alan M. Ward](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de55503460f94adc768/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Market Equilibrium Point
The price at which the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
How do firms find this price and know how much to produce?

Demonstrating Ethical Behavior &
Social Responsibility

If only…
I knew the consequences of my actions beforeI did them.
Choices are a two for one deal,for each choice (which you can choose) is connected to a consequence(which you cannot choose).
![Page 86: Introduction to Business BUS& 101 Olympic College Professor: Alan M. Ward](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de55503460f94adc768/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Ethics is more than legality
Behavior that is accepted as right versus wrong.Social Norms: The Ten Commandment
The Golden Rule
The Rule of Law:More narrow than ethics. Laws allow someone to do something that is not illegal, but may be dangerous or not beneficial. Laws written to control whom?
![Page 87: Introduction to Business BUS& 101 Olympic College Professor: Alan M. Ward](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649de55503460f94adc768/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Ethics Begins with Each of Us1. Is it legal? 2. Is it balanced? (fairness)
Setting Corporate Ethical Standards IMSA = Insurance Marketplace Standards AssociationIMSA becomes C E F L I

toward socialism.CSR – businesses owe their existence to the
society they serve. Benevolence was the highest virtue - Adam Smith
