Three Basic Economic Questions What to produce?
This question asks what people will make and sell. Manycountries produce goods or services based on which resources
are available and which will make the most money for the lowest
cost. A country's type of economy usually has less influence on
this question than it does on the other questions.
How to produce?
This question asks how people will make a good or service.
Manufacturing is a way to produce. Sometimes production is
outsourced, or sent to other countries, in order to keep cost
down. Downsizing reduces the number of employees, alsoallowing cost to be kept down.
For whom to produce?
This question asks whom goods are services will be made for.
People in market economies will produce for a target market. This
will allow them to make the greatest profit.
