Answer:

All requirements solved

Explanation:

Utility if you buy them online or if you can get them in Tijuana can be calculated as follows

Requirement a. Buy online  

Y=1000-200=800

U=ln(800)=2.90

Requirement b. Buy from Tijuana

Y=1000-20-50=930  

U=ln(930)=2.97

Requirement c.

p(1000-20-50)=(1-p)(1000-200)

930p=800-800p

p=0.46

Requirement d. expected income from buying in tijuana:

=0.6(1000-60-50)+0.4(1000-20-50)

=534+372

=906 > 800(income from buying online)

So buy from tijuana

In economics, a good is anything that satisfies a person's needs and provides utility, such to a customer buying a satisfying product. Services that cannot be transferred and transferable products are two categories that are frequently distinguished. When a good is helpful to people but is in short supply compared to demand, it is said to be a "economic good" and requires human effort to attain.  Free things, on the other hand, like air, are always available and don't require any deliberate effort to obtain. Private goods include anything a person owns or uses on a regular basis that is unrelated to food, such as televisions, living room furnishings, wallets, cell phones, etc.

A consumer good, often known as a "ultimate good,"

Answer:
