There is no marginal cost for the first 150 miles, but the subsequent 50 miles have a marginal cost of 15 cents per mile. This works out to $7.50 for 50 miles.
A) While attending college, I am giving up the money that I could have made working. I am also spending much more money in the way of tuition, room, and board, that I could have saved by living with my parents.
B) I could have gotten more sleep by not attending this class, as well as had more time to study for other courses, or perform some other efficient task during the time allotted for this class.
C) I forwent the time that I could have spent doing something else, while I attended yesterday’s lecture.
Individuals would not willingly enter into trade if they did believe that they would benefit in some way. In this case, both parties benefit, for sure, however the man who is allowed to keep his life by gaining a new kidney benefits more. This is for exactly the reason just stated: he is allowed to live. It could be seen that the recipient is hurt financially, but that the donor is hurt because the operation could have a negative outcome in his case, and the fact that he is now without one kidney, should the need ever arise for him to utilize one. These sorts of transactions should be allowed by a society, primarily because both parties enter willingly and each party benefits. Assuming that the transaction always emerges as planned, then there is no need to ban this type of agreement, so long as no laws are broken.
