Discussion:
Question:1
Suppose it is "All You Can Eat" Night at your favorite restaurant. Once you've paid $9.95 for your meal, how do you determine how many helpings to consume? Should you continue eating until your food consumption has yielded $9.95 worth of satisfaction? What happens to the marginal utility from successive helpings as consumption increases?
Question:2
Explain the book's distinction between newspaper racks, where the price allows you access to multiple papers, and food vending machines, where you can only get one of the item purchased. Would you expect the policy used by newspaper racks to change if each newspaper routinely included hundreds of dollars of valuable coupons?
