(Figure: Demand Curve) Refer to the figure. Which point on the graph represents the value of the good in its next highest valued use? O Point A O Point B O Point C O the origin Each of 100 people receives a random item from a grocery store and assigns it a value between 1 (low) and 10 (high). They trade those items among themselves for items they pre rather than those they randomly received and then assign a second value (again, 1 to 10) to the item that they end up with after the trading concludes. How would the sum of thos values before trading compare with the sum after trading? O The value would stay the same because no new goods were introduced.

Is it possible for total utility to increase while marginal utility diminishes? Explain.
The rules of politics are not always the same as the rules of economics. In discussions of setting budgets for government agencies, there is a strategy called closing the Washington Monument. When an agency faces the unwelcome prospect of a budget cut, it may decide to close a high-visibility attraction enjoyed by many people (like the Washington Monument). Explain in terms of diminishing marginal utility why the Washington Monument strategy is So misleading. Hint: If you are really trying to make the best of a budget cut, should you cut the items in your budget with tile highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility? Does the Washington Monument strategy cut the items with the highest marginal utility or line lowest marginal utility?

Piper Gene Munster, the person responsible for a survey dedicated to Apple in which he " found" out an estimated number of IPhones that were sold, has come up with yet another interesting theroy. According to Munsterand the past-week Apple announcement about 1 million IPhones sold, the calculations take to the conclusion that after the price cut,the sales increased up to 200%... By Munster's reckoning, Apple and AT&T were selling an averageof 9,000 IPhones a day before the price reduction, which would have put their quarterly sales at 594,00 as of September 5. By the end of the quarter, he believes Apple will have sold a total of 1.28 million Iphones. What was the price elasticity of demand for IPhones in 2007 prior to the price reduction if the percentage change in price was 40%?
