ABSTRACT
Economics is defined as a social
science that studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce
means which have alternative uses (Robbins in Ede, Oleabhiele and Modebelu,
2016). From the above definition, it could be concluded that Economics involves
ways man tries to maximize satisfaction from the available scarce resources.
Economics can also be defined as how society decides what, how and for whom to
produce (Anyaele, 2003). More so, Economics is a subject that has gained
interest among students. It is offered by all classes at the senior secondary
school level; Science, Arts and Humanities students. Economics is an exciting
and intellectual based subject that inspires young people to expand the
frontiers of their knowledge about how best to use limited resources with
minimal wastes. The subject therefore provides a rational guide to individuals
firms and governments in the allocation of scarce resources (Anyawocha, 2010).
Furthermore, Economics according to Anyawocha (2010) has two branches: Microeconomics
and Macroeconomics. Microeconomics is the branch of Economics that deals with
the personal decisions of consumers and entrepreneurs. Its primary concern is
to help consumers and investors make their lives better by increasing their
earnings and satisfying their needs despite limited resources. Also included in
its study are the consumers decisions on what products to buy and how the cost
of commodities is determined
