In an auction, potential buyers compete for a good by submitting bids. Adam Gallinsky, a social scientist from
NWU, compared eBay auctions in which the same good was sold. He found on average that, the higher the
number of bidders the higher the sales price. For example, in two separate auctions of identical IPods, the one
with the higher number of bidders brought the higher sales price. According to Gallinsky, this explains why
smart sellers set absurdly low opening prices (the lowest price the seller will accept), such as 1 cent for a new
IPod. Use the concept of consumer and producer surplus to explain this reasoning.
Starting a gluten free and nut free restaurant has been a lifelong dream of Sydney Quintero, since he realized his dietary restrictions as a teenager. Now, that Sydney has
graduated with his business degree, he is pursuing his dream. He has researched geographic locations around his state and selected three different cities, Fort Alden,
Central City and Roseville, as possibilities for his flagship restaurant. The market for gluten/nut free products often changes due to health awareness, current trends and
general demographic changes in population. Sydney's marketing research has given him some estimates for the different locations as described in the decision table
below.

Then answer the question that follows. ▼ THE ECONOMIC RATIONALE BEHIND COUPON CLIPPING, BY THE APLIA ECONOMICS CONTENT TEAM If coupon clipping is so rewarding, why doesn't everyone do it? According to basic economic theory, the number one reason is that coupon clipping isn't actually free. Sure, it doesn't explicitly cost you money out of your pocket, but it does cost you time to scan newspapers, magazines, and the Internet for savings that sometimes seem insignificant. Economists refer to this as the opportunity cost of clipping coupons. For example, an hour spent clipping coupons means an hour less to spend earning income, enjoying leisure time, or sleeping. For those who have fewer high-value alternatives competing for their time, such as stay-at-home parents or retired senior citizens, coupon clipping may be time well spent.
