Two friends, Mickey and Minnie, had just started university studies. Both intended to major in accounting. During the first week of lectures, Minnie, who had to go home for family reasons, asked Mickey to buy a copy of the prescribed accounting text for her from the university book- shop. She left Mickey $100 to cover the cost of the text currently selling in the bookshop for $80. On the day Mickey visited the bookshop to buy the text; he noted that there were a number of copies that had been returned to the shop by the students who had managed to get second-hand copies. These returned copies had been marked down to $65 and looked new. Unable to resist a bargain, Mickey bought a copy for $65.
