3) The fact that diamonds have a much higher price than water

A) violates the rules of utility maximization because water is necessary for life.

B) does not violate the rules of utility maximization because globally, fresh water is actually very rare.

C) does not violate the rules of utility maximization because water’s marginal utility is low.

D) violates the rules of utility maximization because diamonds are not necessities.

E) violates the rules of utility maximization because the consumer actually consumes a large amount of water.

4) Which of the following is the best statement of the paradox of value?

A) Why does the amount people are willing to pay for a good vary with the amount consumed?

B) Why do some goods like water, which is necessary for life, have a low price while other goods like diamonds have a high price?

C) What is the logical relationship between value and price?

D) Why is efficiency so valuable for a society?

E) None of the above states the paradox of value.

 

5) To resolve the paradox of value, you must

A) compare price elasticities of demand across goods.

B) distinguish between marginal and total utility.

C) sacrifice efficiency.

D) minimize consumer surplus.

E) distinguish between marginal utility and price.

 

6) The solution to the paradox of value is found by looking at which of the following?

E) None of the above helps solve the paradox of value.

B) marginal utility of diamonds is high.

C) marginal utility of diamonds is low.

D) total utility of diamonds is low.

E) total utility of diamonds is high.

8) Why does the paradox of value between diamonds and water arise?

A) because water has a low price and a low total utility, while diamonds have a high price and a high total utility

B) because water has a low price and a low marginal utility, while diamonds have a high price and a high marginal utility

C) because necessities like water are higher priced than luxuries like diamonds

D) because diamonds have a higher value to people even though water is essential to life

E) because water has a low price and a low total utility, while diamonds have a high price but also a low total utility

 

9) Related to the paradox of value, which of the following statements is correct?

A) The marginal utility of water is enormous but the total utility is small.

B) We consume so much water so its marginal utility is enormous.

C) The marginal utility of water is small but the total utility is enormous.

D) The consumer surplus from water is small.

E) The total utility of water is equal to the marginal utility of water.

 

10) The paradox of value with respect to water and diamonds can be explained using consumer surplus because

A) water is cheap but provides a large consumer surplus, while diamonds are expensive with a small consumer surplus.

B) diamonds are in large supply relative to their demand, while water is scarce in supply relative to its demand.
