If the questions are “would
I choose to buy the book in the first place”, and “Would I sell the book at the
end of the course”, the answer to both questions is yes. The benefit of buying
the book for the course is $400 dollars, which is greater than the sales price
of $250. Thus, I would buy the book. At the end of the course, the benefit of

Thus, I can sell the book for more than it is worth to me, so I will sell the
book at the end of the course.
