Answer and Explanation:
I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:
The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.
The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.
The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.
The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.
Hence the answer is D.
GDP is designed to assess the production of goods in a market economy by output. However, it is not efficient in accounting for public and private services that without output that are easily countable by the number of units produced. GDP is not also well suited in measuring improvements in the diversity and quality of goods and
services. It is also poor in estimating the depletion of resources. Finally, it doesn't also reflect the degradation
of the environment involved in the production process.

If the original price of Dima’s skirt was $54, the amount that she have saved at the store was option(b)i.e, $1.80.
Let's just take the sales price of the skirt Dima purchased from the discount shop as the rate of the other retailer is not provided.
Original price: $54
Discount rate: 30%
$54 x 30% = $16.20 value of the discount
$54 - 16.20 = $37.80 discounted price.
Since Dima's friend told her she could have had a better deal at a different store, this means that the discount rate is higher than 30%. i.e, the discount is 33.33%
$54 x 33.33% = $17.99 value of the discount
$54 - 17.99 = $36.00 discounted price.
Discount store: $37.80
Different store: $36.00
The different store sales price is cheaper by $1.80
Therefore, she could have saved $1.80 at the store her friend suggested.
