Mark wants to be a web designer. He recently found out that a local company is providing a certification program in web design. The program is free and if he
does well, the company will offer an entry-level position upon completion. Mark
likes the idea of hands-on learning and has never been excited about college.
He would rather avoid having to sit through the basic freshman and sophomore
college classes and go directly into doing what he loves. This opportunity will
allow him to do just that. The only problem is that his parents think that a four-
year college education is the only way to secure a good income. Are his parents
right? Explain what you think Mark should do in this situation.

Susie buys two goods - rounds of golf and massages. suppose that the price of a round of golf is $20, and the price of a massage is $30. in a typical week susie will play two rounds of golf, getting 20 units of satisfaction from the second round. she normally buys three massages each week, with the third giving her 30 units of satisfaction. if she were to buy a fourth massage in a week, it would give her 20 units of satisfaction. if the price of massages is reduced to $15, which of the following outcomes might we expect to occur? a) susie would leave her consumption choices unchanged because of diminishing marginal utility in the consumption of massages. b) susie would buy more massages and more rounds of golf, as predicted by the substituion effect. c) susie would buy more massages and fewer rounds of golf, as predicted by the substitution effect. d) susie would buy more massage and fewer rounds of golf, as predicted by income effect.
