Shin likes to spend a (relatively small)
portion of his income on vacations to Cabo
San Lucas (a popular resort area in Mexico).
On these trips, he either stays at a four-star
resort with panoramic ocean views or a
more modest, and slightly deteriorating
hotel in the noisy part of town.
Understandably, the four-star hotel is
significantly more expensive. Suppose that
the four-star hotel costs $5000/trip while
the hotel costs just $500/trip. In recent
years, the price of airfare has risen
significantly, a change that affects the cost
of his trips the same regardless of where he
stays. Suppose that airfare has increased
from $300/trip to $1000/trip. Why is it that
following the higher travel prices, Shin is
likely to spend more of his vacations at the
four-star resort when he travels? (Assume
that the hotel rates and Shin's preferences
are fixed).

A state department of health is considering a public awareness campaign to encourage vaccination. It determines that the cost of this campaign would be $760,000 per year for the next 6 years.
