Prices and Production

Prices are the amounts consumers pay for goods and services, influenced by supply and demand. Production refers to the process of creating these goods or services. When supply exceeds demand, prices tend to fall; when demand exceeds supply, prices rise. Producers aim to set prices that cover costs and generate profit, which influences how much they produce. Efficient production can lower costs, allowing lower prices or higher profits. Overall, prices and production are interlinked factors that help balance what is available with what people want to buy, guiding economic activity and resource allocation.
