What will be produced in all economic systems

Question

What will be produced in all economic systems?

Answer 1

In order to be profitable, businesses must respond to consumers’ (individuals, other businesses, and the government) wants and desires. When businesses allocate resources in a way that is responsive, businesses will be profitable and allocative efficiency will be achieved. Accounting profits are total revenue minus total accounting costs. In economics, the return to the entrepreneur is treated just like the return to the worker, i.e., it is an economic cost and must be received if the entrepreneur is going to continue to produce in that industry. Normal profits are the return to the entrepreneur that is necessary for him/her to continue to produce that product.  Any revenue received beyond normal profits is pure or economic profit.
