Buying and selling textbooks are two separate decisions made at the margin. Textbooks create value both when they are bought and
when they are sold.
Think about your decision to buy the textbook for this course. You paid $225 for the book, but you would have been willing to pay
$500 to use the book for the semester. Suppose that at the end of the semester you could keep your textbook or sell it back to the
bookstore. Once you have completed the course, the book is worth only $50 to you. The bookstore will pay you 50% of the original
$225.
How much total value have you gained? $

The only source of income, apart from agriculture, is the trickle of tourists who relax there. You, the governor, received a proposal from a power generation company to put up a coal power plant in your area. The construction alone will create 1,200 much-needed jobs, while the operations will require around 500 people. You received protests regarding the environmental concerns and upon research, you saw that coal power plants really damage the environment. On the other hand, it will also raise revenue and provide electricity. What will you do with the proposal?
What is your decision and reasons why you arrived at such decision?
