Explanation of Solution

Homeo economicus follows each and every economic principle as well as prediction exactly as the economic theory suggests. Whereas the normal human being never follows the economic theories and principles exactly as the same in their life. This makes Homeo economicus different from the normal human being.

As a result of the following economic principles and the predictions, the Homeo economicus knows exactly what are his needs and what are his wants. The principles of economics and the predictions help him to get what he want because he can exactly know what he want. Therefore, Homeo economicus can solve any kind of economic problems regardless of the complication of the problem without any mistakes.
