This activity involves four scenarios where the students will uncover the opportunity costs for each scenario (every decision involves a trade-off). The opportunity cost is the profit lost (or total cost- financial and non-financial costs) when one alternative is chosen over another. A trade-off is understanding that you are going to lose something, in relation to time, money, or energy, when the decision to choose something else is made. When you buy or do one thing with your money, you must give up the chance to buy or do something else. This is a trade-off: what you give up to get what you want. When you spend part of your income on certain things, you give up spending it on other things.

Economic cycles have risen and fallen over the past 100 years, in a somewhat predictable fashion behaving like a wave with periods of: peak, trough, recession, recovery. An economic expansion is a term sometimes used for the increasing growth period of the business cycle. The peak is when it is at its highest point. An economic contraction is a term sometimes used for the downturn (negative growth) of the business cycle. The trough is when it is at its lowest point. All of these points in an economic cycle have important impacts on financial decision making.Many individuals make emotional decisions based on where an economic cycle may be, instead of looking a rational evidence of where the economic cycle might be going. Attached with these handouts is a document titled "Reasons Why Investors Avoided The Stock Market" which shows many major negative events, followed by tremendous growth in the economy. If individuals understand these normal economic cycles, they can really benefit financially through investments and sound financial decision making.
