Your task is to read one of the books in this module and while reading it, look out for anything related to economics. Those could be examples of economic decisions, ways in which incentives affect our behavior, or the impact of economic policies. Write a paragraph for each example you find explaining how it relates to economics, add your own real world observations in support or against the authors' point of view. You should describe at least 4 examples, or more if your paragraphs are on the short side. Be sure to mention where in the book you found your specific example Matthias Doepke_ Fabrizio Zilibotti - Love, Money, and Parenting_ How Economics Explains the Way We Raise Our Kids-Princeton University Press (2019).pdf

Special order carson manufacturing, inc., sells a single product for $36 per unit. at an operating level of 8,000 units, variable costs are $18 per unit and fixed costs $10 per unit. carson has been offered a price of $20 per unit on a special order of 2,000 units by big mart discount stores, which would use its own brand name on the item. if carson accepts the order, material cost will be $3 less per unit than for regular production. however, special stamping equipment costing $4,000 would be needed to process the order; the equipment would then be discarded. assuming that volume remains within the relevant range, prepare an analysis of differential revenue and costs to determine whether carson should accept the special order. use a negative sign with answer to only indicate an income loss from special order; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.
