An individual is evaluating different combinations of weekly income and daily free time. Assuming this person always prefers having more of either good if the other is held constant, which of the following statements is definitively true based on this principle alone?

Comparing Job Scenarios
Comparing Job Scenarios
An individual is considering two different work-life arrangements. Arrangement A provides 16 hours of free time per day and a weekly income of $400. Arrangement B provides 16 hours of free time per day and a weekly income of $350. According to the principle that 'more is better,' this individual would be indifferent between Arrangement A and Arrangement B.
An individual is evaluating different combinations of daily free time and daily consumption. Based only on the principle that having more of either good is always better (holding the other constant), match each pair of bundles with the correct preference relationship.
An individual currently has a daily arrangement of 10 hours of free time and $200 for consumption. Based only on the principle that having more of a good is always preferred to having less (holding the quantity of the other good constant), which of the following alternative arrangements is definitively worse than the current one?
An individual is evaluating their current work-life arrangement, which provides 15 hours of daily free time and $250 for daily consumption. They are presented with four potential new arrangements:
- Arrangement 1: 15 hours of free time, $220 for consumption
- Arrangement 2: 17 hours of free time, $250 for consumption
- Arrangement 3: 14 hours of free time, $280 for consumption
- Arrangement 4: 17 hours of free time, $220 for consumption
Based only on the principle that having more of a good is always preferred to having less (holding the quantity of the other good constant), which of the new arrangements is definitively preferred to the current one?
An individual currently has an arrangement of 12 hours of daily free time and a daily income of $300. They are considering several alternative arrangements. Based only on the principle that more of a good is always preferred (holding the other good constant), for which of the following alternatives is it impossible to determine a preference compared to their current arrangement?
