Jean can bake 12 cakes or make 8 pizzas in an hour. Please answer the four questions.

Which cook has the absolute advantage in baking cakes?

A. Vincent
B. Jean
C. Neither

B. Jean

Explanation:

Having Absolute Advantage in the production of a good means that you can produce more of that good given the same resources or at least the same Quantity as others given lower resources.

From the scenario above therefore, Jean has the Absolute Advantage in producing Cakes as Jean can bake 12 cakes in an hour while Vincent can only bake 10.

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
