<span>Quite a number of private health insurance companies have expended
huge sums of money in a bid to prevent a pending bill before the Kansas state
legislature from being passed into law. This bill advocates that the state should
be the only payer of health care bills by prohibiting private establishments
from selling health insurance. The action of these private health insurance
companies is an example of rent-seeking behavior.</span>

Answer:
- The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
- Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.
Explanation:
First part of this question reads:
In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.
The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.
When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
It is given that both Starbucks coffee as well as Dunkin Donuts coffee are both perfect for me. They taste same and the quality of the coffee in both are same. The price of Starbucks coffee is more than the coffee in Dunkin Donuts. As a customer I would prefer the lower cost item i.e. the Dunkin Donuts coffee.
After the pandemic, the price of the Starbucks coffee have increased. But my utility of purchasing coffee from Dunkin Donuts is not changed as the price of the Dunkin Donuts coffee is still the lowest between the two. So I will continue buying coffee from Dunkin Donuts like before. Thus my utility remains unchanged.
