Economists traditionally divide the factors of production into four categories: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Land refers to natural resources, labor refers to work effort, and capital is anything made that is used to make something else. The last resource, entrepreneurship, refers to the ability to put the other three resources together to create value. In this video, we define each of the four factors of production and provide examples of each.

Walk through the solution to a free response question (FRQ) like the ones you may see on an AP Microeconomics exam. Topics include why price equals marginal revenue (P=MR) for a perfectly competitive firm, how to draw side-by-side market and firm graphs, and how to find several points of interest in the firm graph.

This video shows how to graph marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost. The relationship between these curves at important points is also explored.

Given that hiring more workers gives more revenue, but also has additional cost, what is the optimal amount of labor to hire? We begin thinking about this as well as briefly discuss another type of competition: monopsony labor markets. Created by Sal Khan.

In this video we explore an alternative method of calculating GDP: the income approach. The intuition behind the income approach is pretty straightforward because every time you spend money, that spending is someone else's income. Learn more about the income approach and its categories: wages, interest, rent, and profit. Created by Sal Khan.

Elasticities can be calculated for more than just price elasticity of supply or price elasticity of demand. For example, income elasticity of demand as a measure of how quantity demanded changes in response to income.

When there are increasing opportunity costs, the shape of the production possibilities curve (PPC) is bowed out. Learn more about how the shape of the PPC, which is sometimes also called the production possibilities frontier curve (PPF), depends on opportunity cost in this video. Created by Sal Khan.
