Movie stars such as Salma Hayeck, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, and Jennifer Lawrence are paid millions of dollars per movi

e, which can take as much as 6 months of full-time work for an actor. By contrast, doctors and nurses earn considerably less over the same time period. Why might this be? While the supply of (major film stars OR doctors and nurses) is small and relatively fixed in the short run, the demand for (the average doctor or nurse OR movies featuring these film stars) is quite large globally. By contrast, the marginal benefit of the services provided by (major film stars OR doctors and nurses) is relatively low, although the total benefit is quite high. This illustrates the diamond-water paradox. True or False

Answer:

False

The diamond-water paradox is illustrated by stating that the marginal benefit of the services provided by doctors and nurses is relatively lower than the marginal benefit of the services provided by major film stars.  This implies that the supply of doctors and nurses is larger than the demand while the demand for major film stars is larger than the supply.

Explanation:

The marginal utility derived by film consumers from major film stars is higher than the marginal utility derived by patients from doctors and nurses. This is because consumers of the services of major film stars are willing to pay more for the services than consumers of the services of doctors and nurses. Though health is more crucial to life than films, but consumers place more utility value on films than they do on their health, especially after attaining the basic sound health. This actually explains the diamond water paradox, where consumers value diamond and are willing to pay more for diamond than they are willing to pay for life-sustaining water. In a layman's language, people are more willing to value the satisfaction they derive from one more additional film than they are to value the satisfaction they derive from additional healthcare. That means that people only care for the basic in healthcare. But, they can stake more to acquire more diamond.

On May 1, Study and Burrow, two college professors, entered into and oral contract under which study agreed to sell his computer
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Check the following explanation

Explanation:

a) Usually a contract has the following elements:

Offer .

Acceptance .

Consideration .

Intention to create a legal relationship .

In the given case, the intention to create a legal relationship is missing. Though Study had sent a written legal contract to Burrow to affirm the contract, Burrow did not show any interest regarding the same. Hence Burrow can’t be sued for breach of contracts. Moreover the confirmation letter sent by Study does not qualify under the Merchant Memo Rule as the involved parties are not merchants. Burrow can use the terms of UCC for his favour. The UCC states that any contract with value more than $500 must be in writing. As the involved amount in this case is $1300, hence this case does not qualify as a contract under UCC.

b) If Study and Burrow were merchants, then the Merchant Memo Rule gets applicable. Then in that case, if 2 merchants enter into an oral contract, which is worth $500 or more and one of the merchant sends a written confirmation for the same, then a contract will be considered enforceable. In such a case, Burrow will be held liable for breach of contract and can be sued by Study.
