Even businesses and governments face trade-offs. The article, "Death by Bureaucrat" talks about the choices that the FDA faces when dealing with pharmaceutical drugs. Here is the assignment: a. Share THREE examples of important trade-offs you have faced in your daily lives? What were the costs and benefits of each of these choices? How did you go about making those choices? THESE ARE EXAMPLES FROM THE INSTRUCTOR: I NEED MY OWN EXAMPLES! An appropriate response for one of your choices could be as follows: Every year I have to decide whether I will teach a face-to-face summer class or not. If I teach the summer class it means that I would make more money. The $X that I would get to teach the class was my marginal benefit. However, if I teach a summer class, I don't have as much time to spend with my family and do the things I would otherwise do like hiking or playing tennis. More importantly, I am not able to travel to India to see my family there. So giving up the chance to engage in leisurely activities and to travel is the opportunity cost of teaching a summer class. I usually choose not to teach the face-to-face class in the summer because to me the opportunity cost of teaching the class (having to give up time with my family, traveling to India, etc.) is higher than the marginal benefit (extra summer pay) derived from the summer class. An inappropriate response would be: One trade-off I faced recently was whether to go to Wendy's or McDonald's for lunch. I picked Wendy's because I like it more than McDonald's
