Hi!
<em>Option C is correct.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation of the choices:
A. - This seems a good choice, however it's not the best choice. Let's come back to it.
B. - This is the best choice because they get to experience first-hand how to manage and make their own money decisions. Choice A might seem good at first, but we can see this is better because they get to make their own decisions and experience hands-on how to do it.
C - This is not a good choice, because it's best to expose children early so they can grow up knowing how to do it.
D - This choice doesn't make sense. What is the point of money if you store it away and don't spend it? This will likely not be a good lesson in the future.
Hope this helps! :D
Answer:
a. Even though I was willing to pay up to $40 for a jersey sweater, I bought a jersey sweater for only $31.
Consumer Surplus;
= 40 - 31
= $9
When the amount that a consumer is willing to pay for something is more than the amount they actually pay, the difference is the Consumer surplus.
b. I sold a used laptop for $137, even though I was willing to go as low as $130 in order to sell it.
Producer Surplus
= 137 - 130
= $7
When the amount that a producer is willing to sell something for is less than the amount they actually sell it for, the difference is the Producer surplus.
c. I was willing to go as low as $130 in order to sell it A local store was having a sale on watches, so I bought a watch for my brother. Neither.
