  13. Three Basic Economic Questions • What to produce?This question asks what people will make and sell. Many countries produce goods or services based on which resources are available and which will make the most money for the lowest cost. A country's type of economy usually has less influence on this question than it does on the other questions. • How to produce?This question asks how people will make a good or service. Manufacturing is a way to produce. Sometimes production is outsourced, or sent to other countries, in order to keep cost down. Downsizing reduces the number of employees, also allowing cost to be kept down. • For whom to produce?This question asks whom goods are services will be made for. People in market economies will produce for a target market. This will allow them to make the greatest profit.
