Opening your next discovery…
Can a plan earn revenue yet lose money or exceed its resources?
Your discovery goalDistinguish cost, revenue and profit; build a feasible resource plan; identify an opportunity cost under a changed demand scenario.
Mapping checkedA prediction is a starting idea. You can revise it after exploring.
Use at least 40 characters and include an observation. Your writing is saved as evidence; it is not automatically judged for accuracy.
This records completion of this demonstration. It is not an official grade or a claim of mastery.
Choose production, price and promotion under budget and time constraints, then stress-test the plan when demand falls.
Distinguish cost, revenue and profit; build a feasible resource plan; identify an opportunity cost under a changed demand scenario.
State what you changed. Describe the result using an observation from the model. Connect the observation to the idea you are learning, then try a different case to test your explanation.

Investigation 01
You have 100 fictional credits and 90 workshop minutes. Making each notebook costs 4 credits and 3 minutes; setup costs 20 credits. Promotion adds 15 credits and 15 minutes. Choose a feasible plan, then audit its cost and profit.
Cost = 20 setup + 48 materials + 0 promotion. Remaining budget: 32 credits. Remaining workshop time: 54 minutes. Plan fits both constraints.
Investigation 02
Keep the same production, price and promotion, but use the rainy-day demand rule. Calculate the revised profit. Then explain what the promotion decision gives up under a scarce budget and time limit.
Rainy demand: 11; sold: 11; revenue: 110; cost remains 68. Unsold notebooks are not automatically refunded.
Original deterministic notebook case with invented credits, demand and resource limits. No wages, taxes, loans, stock resale or demand uncertainty are included. It is not a real business forecast or financial advice. IX From Ideas to Startups supports resources, planning and simple profit/loss; Building Blocks in Economics supports opportunity cost.
