You Value Your Favorite Shirt at $110

question 21

Multiple Choice

You value your favorite shirt at $110. Someone else values it at $150, and that person is willing to pay you $120 for your shirt. Would selling your shirt to this person for $120 be Pareto efficient?

• A) No, because you did not receive the maximum amount the other person would have been willing to pay for the shirt.
• B) No, the person paid you $120 for the shirt so his net benefit was $30, while your net benefit was $10. For this change to be Pareto efficient, each of you should have the same net benefit.
• C) Yes, because even though you gain from the trade and he loses, there is the potential for you to compensate him for his loss.
• D) Yes, because both of you are better off as a result of the trade.
