A new island and its economy has been formed and the president has asked you, the economist,
"How can I be sure that my people will make right choices? How will they know how to make their buying decisions?"
I was going to write something revolving around this information from my textbook, but I'm not sure if it's correct or how to demonstrate it through graphs or tables.
- Opportunity costs: the highest-valued, next-best alternative that must be sacrificed to obtain something or to satisfy a want.
- Utility Analysis: the analysis of consumer decision making based on utility maximization
- "We apply the assumption that people behave as if they act rationally with an aim to maximize utility. "
- "A consumer's money income should be allocated so that the last dollar spent on each good purchased yields the same amount of marginal utility (when all income is spent), because this rule yields the largest possible total utility."
If someone can help me answer this question, I'd appreciate it, thank you!
