Ray  \n| 1 Macroeconomics | UNIT OVERVIEW |\n| --- | --- |\n| Unit 1 focuses on basic economic concepts, including the framework of demand and supply in a competitive market. These concepts account for 8–12 percent of the Advanced Placement (AP) Macroeconomics Exam. More importantly, if students do not understand these concepts, they will have a difficult time throughout the course.\u003Cbr>The most important introductory concept is scarcity. In any economy, scarce resources and unlimited wants result in the need to make choices. Students must understand scarcity, opportunity cost, and tradeoffs. They should be able to illustrate these concepts on a production possibilities curve (PPC) .\u003Cbr>A key part of a macroeconomics course focuses on how specialization and exchange increase the total output of goods and services. Students must be able to differentiate between absolute advantage and comparative advantage. Comparative advantage is the key to specialization and trade. Be certain that students understand the difference between input and output examples of comparative advantage.\u003Cbr>Unit 1 introduces students to the market forces of demand and supply. It is critical for their success on the AP Macroeconomics Exam that students understand how demand and supply determine the market price and quantity, and how changes in demand and supply affect the market equilibrium. Much of the material in the AP Macroeconomics course requires students to understand the concepts of demand and supply.\u003Cbr>The Lesson Planner\u003Cbr>Lesson 1 The Economic Way of Thinking; Activity 1-1 and Visual 1-1\u003Cbr>Lesson 2 Scarcity, Opportunity Cost, and Production Possibilities Curves; Activity 1-2 and Visual 2-2\u003Cbr>Lesson 3 Absolute Advantage and Comparative Advantage, Specialization, and Trade; Activity 1-3 and Visuals 1-3 and 1-4\u003Cbr>Lesson 4 Understanding Demand; Activities 1-4 and 1-5, and Visuals 1-5 and 1-6 Lesson 5 Understanding Supply; Activities 1-6 and 1-7, and Visuals 1-7 and 1-8\u003Cbr>Lesson 6 Equilibrium Price and Quantity, Interrelation of Markets; Activities 1-8 and 1-9, and Visuals 1-9 and 1-10\u003Cbr>Lesson 7 The Business Cycle: Introduction to Macroeconomic Indicators; Activity 1-10 and Visual 1-11 |  |\n\nAdvanced Placement Economics Macroeconomics: Teacher Resource Manual © Council for Economic Education, New York, N.Y. 5  \nCEE-APE_MACROSE-12-0101-MATM-Book. indb  \n5  \n29/04/14  \n7:59 PM  \n| 1 | Macroeconomics UNIT OVERVIEW (CONTINUED) |\n| --- | --- |\n| | Practice Free Response Questions (FRQs)\u003Cbr>The supply and demand model is covered in the multiple-choice section of the Advanced Placement (AP) Macroeconomics Exam.
