Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing marginal utility means that keeping other things at constant the marginal utility derived from the consumption of a commodity goes on declining with each additional unit of the commodity.

So, the marginal utility from the first unit will be highest, that from second unit will be lesser, that from third even lower and so on.

In the examples given above, Wesly's case is most applicable to this.

So, option C is the correct answer.

Chandler Kumar owns two antique stores. One is in an upscale neighborhood, and its merchandise is artfully arranged and priced t
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Positioning strategies

Explanation:

In business , positioning strategies refers to the efforts that a company can do  to influence some sort of perception toward their brands.

In the example above, Markup artfully arranged  his products and priced to indicate product rarity in upscale neighborhood.

He did this because for customers with high economic power, presentation of a certain product will create the perception that owning that product indicates high social status. This probably held more value compared to the actual use function of the product itself.

On the other hand, he left his products in open boxes and placed haphazardly on shelves when targeting customers with lower income. He did this because among customers with lower income, presentation tend to matter less compared to the actual function of thier brand.

Not more than hundred (100) words describe the nature of Ethics as a core branch of Philosophy.
kumpel [21]

Ethics is the branch of philosophy that explores the nature of moral virtue and evaluates human actions. Philosophical ethics differs from legal, religious, cultural and personal approaches to ethics by seeking to conduct the study of morality through a rational, secular outlook that is grounded in notions of human happiness or well-being. A major advantage of a philosophical approach to ethics is that it avoids the authoritarian basis of law and religion as well as the subjectivity, arbitrariness and irrationality that may characterize cultural or totally personal moral views. (Although some thinkers differentiate between "ethics," "morals," "ethical" and "moral,")
