Economic Activity

A. Read the text.


Most people work in order to earn their living. They produce goods and services. Goods are either
produced on the farms, like maize and milk, or in factories , like cars and paper. Services are
provided by such things as schools, hospitals and shops. Some people provide goods; some provide
services.
And other poeple provide both goods and services. For example , in the same garage a man may
buy car or he may buy some service which helps him to mantain his car.
And the work which people do is called their economic activity. Economic activities make up the
economic system. Thus the economic system is the sum-total of what people do and what they
want. And the work which people undertake either provides what they need or provides them with
money. People buy essential commodities with the money.

WHAT IS BUSINESS ?
A business is an organization. It produces goods and services to make a profit.
Business may be divided into goods and service producing firms. The American
business system is known as private enterprise because the factors of production and
the businesses are owned by individuals. This system is based on the right to private
properties. Here are four factors of production which include machinery,building,tools,
and means of transfortation. To produce goods and services in the private enterprise
system, the four factors of production are obtained from the individuals owning the
businesses in exchange for income.
The human element is the core of business. Business needs people as owners,
managers, and consumers. People need business for the production of goods and
services and the creation of job opportunities. The person responsible for operating
the business is called a manager. And the manager may be the owner or profesional
employed by the owner. A profesional manager attempts to achieve the objectives of
the business.

Employees supply the skills and abilities to provide a product or service. They expect
To recieve a wage or salary for the use of their skills and abilities.
The target of business is consumer. A consumer is a person or business who purchase
a goods or service for personal or organizational use. The consumer, in an economics
system, wants better goods and services. A business enterprise attempts to satisfy
such needs and desires or wants.
The most common motive for setting up business is the profit motive. It is the desire
to make a profit as reward for taking risks of running business. Profit or surplus income is total
sales minus the costs of production. It is a measurement of ones
success. A profit is not always gained, and sometimes the business suffers lossess.

Types of Business Organization

Sole Proprietorship
A Sole Proprietorship consists of one individual doing business. Sole Proprietorships are the most numerous form
of business organization in the United States, however they account for little in the way of aggregate business
receipts.
Advantages
Ease of formation and dissolution. Establishing a sole proprietorship can be as simple as printing up business cards
or hanging a sign announcing the business. Taking work as a contract carpenter or freelance photographer, for
example, can establish a sole proprietorship. Likewise, a sole proprietorship is equally easy to dissolve.
Typically, there are low start-up costs and low operational overhead.
Ownership of all profits.
Sole Proprietorships are typically subject to fewer regulations.
No corporate income taxes. Any income realized by a sole proprietorship is declared on the owner's individual
income tax return.

Disadvantages
Unlimited liability. Owners who organize their business as a sole proprietorship are personally responsible for the
obligations of the business, including actions of any employee representing the business.

Limited life. In most cases, if a business owner dies, the business dies as well.

It may be difficult for an individual to raise capital. It's common for funding to be in the form of personal savings or
personal loans.
The most daunting disadvantage of organizing as a sole proprietorship is the aspect of unlimited liability. An advantage
of a sole proprietorship is filing taxes as an individual rather than paying corporate tax rates. Some hybrid forms of
business organization may be employed to take advantage of limited liability and lower tax rates for those
businesses that meet the requirements. These include S Corporations, and Limited Liability Companies (LLC's).
Where S-Corps are a Federal Entity, LLC's are regulated by the various states. LLC's give the option for profits from
the business to pass through to the owner's individual income tax return.

Partnership
A Partnership consists of two or more individuals in business together. Partnerships may be as small as mom and pop type
operations, or as large as some of the big legal or accounting firms that may have dozens of partners. There are different
types of partnershipsgeneral partnership, limited partnership, and limited liability partnershipthe basic differences
stemming around the degree of personal liability and management control.
Advantages
Synergy. There is clear potential for the enhancement of value resulting from two or more individuals combining strengths.
Partnerships are relatively easy to form, however, considerable thought should be put into developing a partnership
agreement at the point of formation.
Partnerships may be subject to fewer regulations than corporations.
There is stronger potential of access to greater amounts of capital.
No corporate income taxes. Partnerships declare income by filing a partnership income tax return. Yet the partnership pays
no taxes when this partnership tax return is filed. Rather, the individual partners declare their pro-rata share of the net
income of the partnership on their individual income tax returns and pay taxes at the individual income tax rate.

Disadvantages
Unlimited liability. General partners are individually responsible for the obligations of the business, creating personal risk.
Limited life. A partnership may end upon the withdrawal or death of a partner.
There is a real possibility of disputes or conflicts between partners which could lead to dissolving the partnership. This
scenario enforces the need of a partnership agreement.
As pointed out, unlimited liability exists for partnerships just as for sole proprietorships. One way to alleviate this risk is through
Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP's). As with LLC's, LLP's may offer some tax advantages while providing some risk protection
for owners.

Corporation
Corporations are probably the dominant form of business organization in the United States. Although fewer in number,
corporations account for the lion's share of aggregate business receipts in the U.S. economy. A corporation is a legal entity
doing business, and is distinct from the individuals within the entity. Public corporations are owned by shareholders who
elect a board of directors to oversee primary responsibilities. Along with standard, for-profit corporations, there are
charitable, not-for-profit corporations.
Advantages
Unlimited commercial life. The corporation is an entity of its own and does not dissolve when ownership changes.
Greater flexibility in raising capital through the sale of stock.
Ease of transferring ownership by selling stock.
Limited liability. This limited liability is probably the biggest advantage to organizing as a corporation. Individual owners in
corporations have limits on their personal liability. Even if a corporation is sued for billions of dollars, individual shareholder's
liability is generally limited to the value of their own stock in the corporation.
Disadvantages
Regulatory restrictions. Corporations are typically more closely monitored by governmental agencies, including federal,
state, and local. Complying with regulations can be costly.
Higher organizational and operational costs. Corporations have to file articles of incorporation with the appropriate state
authorities. These legal and clerical expenses, along with other recurring operational expenses, can contribute to budgetary
challenges.
Double taxation. The possibility of double taxation arises when companies declare and pay taxes on the net income of the
corporation, which they pay through their corporate income tax returns. If the corporation also pays out dividends to
individual shareholders, those shareholders must declare that dividend income as personal income and pay taxes at the
individual income tax rates. Thus, the possibility of double taxation.

Production in economics

Production is a process of combining various material inputs and immaterial inputs (plans, know-how) in order to make
something for consumption (the output). It is the act of creating output, a good or service which has value and contributes
to the utility of individuals.
Economic well-being is created in a production process, meaning all economic activities that aim directly or indirectly to
satisfy human needs. The degree to which the needs are satisfied is often accepted as a measure of economic well-being. In
production there are two features which explain increasing economic well-being. They are improving quality-price-ratio of
goods and services and increasing incomes from growing and more efficient market production.
The most important forms of production are
market production
public production
household production
In order to understand the origin of the economic well-being we must understand these three production processes. All of
them produce commodities which have value and contribute to well-being of individuals.
The satisfaction of needs originates from the use of the goods and services which are produced. The need satisfaction
increases when the quality-price-ratio of the goods and services improves and more satisfaction is achieved at less cost.
Improving the quality-price-ratio of goods and services is to a producer an essential way to enhance the production
performance but this kind of gains distributed to customers cannot be measured with production data.
As a source of economic well-being
In principle there are two main activities in an economy, production and consumption. Similarly there are two kinds of
actors, producers and consumers. Well-being is made possible by efficient production and by the interaction between
producers and consumers. In the interaction, consumers can be identified in two roles both of which generate well-being.
Consumers can be both customers of the producers and suppliers to the producers. The customers well-being arises from
the commodities they are buying and the suppliers well-being is related to the income they receive as compensation for the
production inputs they have delivered to the producers.

Stakeholders of production
Stakeholders of production are persons, groups or organizations with an interest in a producing company. Economic wellbeing originates in efficient production and it is distributed through the interaction between the companys stakeholders.
The stakeholders of companies are economic actors which have an economic interest in a company. Based on the similarities
of their interests, stakeholders can be classified into three groups in order to differentiate their interests and mutual
relations. The three groups are as follows:

Interactive contributions of a companys stakeholders (Saari, 2011,4)

Customers
Suppliers
Producers

The interests of these stakeholders and their relations to companies are described briefly below. Our purpose is to establish
a framework for further analysis.

Customers
The customers of a company are typically consumers, other market producers or producers in the public sector. Each of
them has their individual production functions. Due to competition, the price-quality-ratios of commodities tend to improve
and this brings the benefits of better productivity to customers. Customers get more for less. In households and the public
sector this means that more need satisfaction is achieved at less cost. For this reason the productivity of customers can
increase over time even though their incomes remain unchanged.
Suppliers
The suppliers of companies are typically producers of materials, energy, capital, and services. They all have their individual
production functions. The changes in prices or qualities of supplied commodities have an effect on both actors (company
and suppliers) production functions. We come to the conclusion that the production functions of the company and its
suppliers are in a state of continuous change.
Producer community
The incomes are generated for those participating in production, i.e., the labour force, society and owners. These
stakeholders are referred to here as producer communities or, in shorter form, as producers. The producer communities
have a common interest in maximizing their incomes. These parties that contribute to production receive increased incomes
from the growing and developing production.

Main processes of a producing company


A producing company can be divided into sub-processes in different ways; yet, the following five are identified as main
processes, each with a logic, objectives, theory and key figures of its own. It is important to examine each of them
individually, yet, as a part of the whole, in order to be able to measure and understand them. The main processes of a
company are as follows:

Real process
Income distribution process
Production process
Monetary process
Market value process
