Why does the marginal benefit of a diamond nearly always exceed the marginal benefit of a bottle of water?

Business
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B)Diamonds are much more scarce than water, so the marginal benefit of diamonds are much higher

Explanation:

Water is a necessary good, but diamonds are luxury goods. At low levels of consumption, water will provide a much higher utility than diamond. Someone very thirsty will derive much more satisfaction from drinking water than from acquiring diamonds.

Marginal benefits arise from the consumption of extra units. After one has quenched their thirst,  consuming more water later adds minimal benefits. On the other hand, diamonds are scarce and valuable. Having one is good, but getting an extra one will bring greater benefits as it increases wealth. Therefore, the marginal consumption of o diamonds has greater benefits than water.

A friend, explaining his position with respect to liability insurance states, "I don't feel I need the high limits of liability
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

I agree with him since liability insurance covers the policy holder against legal claims (law suits) due to personal injuries or damages caused to other people or their properties.

Generally people or businesses exposed to higher risks are covered by policies with high amounts, e.g. a manufacturer of any type of product (or really any type of business, even services), a doctor or more commonly anyone who has a car.

Since this is a homeowners policy, then a low limit should be sufficient. Just think a¿bout it, how can your house damage someone else? Maybe a neighbor or someone else visiting you slips and suffers an injury, but the possibility of the harm being serious is very low. If this included a car insurance policy, then you could request a higher amount, but not for a house.
