Trade-offs occur in all of the following scenarios EXCEPT: a) a student has two exams on the following day and must divide study time between the classes.
b) a couple chooses between two equally appealing vacation destinations for the following weekend.
c) a shopper wants to buy two equally appealing shirts totaling $50, and has $35 to spend on each.
d) a caterer selects from two potential jobs, both paying $2,500 on a Saturday night.
e) consumers are often forced to make a compromise between quality and price.

c) a shopper wants to buy two equally appealing shirts totaling $50, and has $35 to spend on each.

Explanation:

A trade off is a situation that requires one to make a choice between two alternative lines of action.

The person has to weigh the benefits of each action and choose the best options for him.

In the scenarios above the shopper wants to buy two shirts that cost $50 in total. He has $35 for each so he has a total of $70. This is enough to buy both shirts so there is no trade off.

However in the other options there are trade offs:

- a couple choosing between 2 destinations

- a student must allocate different times between two exams he has the next day

- a caterer selects from two jobs

- consumers compromise between quality and price

the answer is either c or b, i cant be to sure tho.
