1. A family deciding whether to buy a new car faces a trade-off
between the cost of the car and
other things they might want to buy. For example, buying the car
might mean they must give
up going on vacation for the next two years. Also, fuel efficient
cars are more expensive but
regular cars require spending more on gas. Smaller cars are less
expensive, but bigger cars
mean saving time by avoiding multiple trips.
2. For a member of Congress deciding how much to spend on
national parks, one trade-off is
between parks and other spending items or tax cuts. If more money
goes into the park
system, that may mean less spending on national defense or on
transportation. Or instead of
spending more money on the park system, taxes could be reduced.
Another tradeoff when
deciding how much to spend on national parks is spending a small
amount on a lot of parks
or a larger amount on a single park.
3. When a company president decides whether to open a new
factory, the decision is based on
whether the new factory will increase the firm’s profits compared
to other alternatives. For
example, the company could upgrade existing equipment or expand
existing factories. The
bottom line is: Which method of expanding production will increase
profit the most?
4. In deciding how much to prepare for class, a professor faces
a trade-off between the value
of improving the quality of the lecture compared to other things
she could do with her time,
such as working on additional research or enjoying some leisure
time.
5. In deciding whether to go to graduate school, the student
faces a trade-off between his
possible earnings with a bachelor’s degree and the benefits of an
increased education (such
as higher future earnings and greater knowledge). The student also
faces the trade-off
between spending time with family or on leisure and spending time
studying. Also, the
student may face the tradeoff between taking out student loans and
buying a home or car with a loan
