Number: Section: Date: Part 1. Discussion Questions and Problems 1. Explain how lower lending standards and lower interest rates can lead to higher house prices. 2. If there were no third parties in medical care, medical care prices would be lower. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your answer. 3. Harvard, Yale, and Princeton all charge relatively high tuition.

Suppose the purchase and sale of marijuana are legalized and the price of marijuana falls. What is the explanation? 5.

She asks for an aisle seat, but only middle-of-the-row seats are left. Why aren't any aisle seats left? (Hint: The airline charges the same price for an aisle seat as a middle-of-the-row seat.) 10. Speculation on prices leads to gains for the speculator and losses for others. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your
