develop a response to an economic and business issue, identifying potential costs and benefits

Elaborations

• 1 developing a response to an issue by combining known knowledge with new ideas; for example, when purchasing a mobile phone, use the product statement and personal budget to identify benefits and costs
• 2 identifying and describing reasons that inform the response to an issue; for example, the reasons for using recyclable materials in packaging as a way to support sustainable use of economic resources to meet needs and wants into the future
• 3 identifying the potential costs and benefits of a decision; for example, deciding whether to work part-time involves identifying benefits such as earning money and recognising costs such as time on the weekend devoted to travelling to and from work
• 4 explaining how making an economic and business decision involves selecting one alternative over another; for example, to satisfy a particular want, a selection of goods or services is preferred or purchased over another
