Human want: Human wants are unlimited and also they are ever increasing. Goods and services help to satisfy unlimited and ever increasing human want.

We can produce more if we have more producer goods and services.It is the quantity and quality of producer’s goods and services that will determine the availability of consumer goods and services in the market.
Investment: Increase in the production of goods and services will also determine the level of investment. Given the quantity of goods and services, a part of it is consumed, which satisfies the human wants. Whatever is not consumed is used for further production and it results in capital formation in the economy.The larger is the surplus, the larger is the productive capacity of the economy.
