Use the table, with data for Bishan and Amara, to answer the question.
Table: Bishan's and Amara's Lawn Mowing Services
Amara's price = S30
Bishan's profit= $700
Amara's profit = S800
Bishan's profit=$1,400
Amara's profit=S80
Amara's price $45
Bishan's profit = $100
Amara's profit = $1,500
Bishan's profit =$1,000
Amara's profit-$1.200
Bishan's price =
S35
Bishan's price =
$50
If Bishan and Amara cooperate, Bishan would earn
more and Amara would earn
more than they would
without cooperation.

- Read summary about the hula hoop scence: The Hudsucker Corporation has decided to sell the hula hoop for $1.79. We see the toy store owner leaning next to the front door waiting for customers to enter but customers are non-existent. Next, the movie cuts to the president of the company, played by Tim Robbins, and we see him sitting behind a big desk waiting to hear how the launch of the hula hoop is going. It does not go well. The price starts to drop, first to $1.59, then $1.49 and so on down until the hula hoop is "free with any purchase." Even this is not enough to attract consumers. So the toy store owner throws the hula hoops out into the alley behind the store. At his point, it is a fluke that changes the direction of the entire movie. When the hula hoops are tossed into the alley one of them rolls across the street and around the block before landing at the foot of a boy who is skipping school. He picks up the hula hoop and tries it out. He is a natural.

Then answer the question that follows. THE ECONOMIC RATIONALE BEHIND COUPON CLIPPING, BY THE APLIA ECONOMICS CONTENT TEAM If coupon clipping is so rewarding, why doesn't everyone do it? According to basic economic theory, the number one reason is that coupon clipping isn't actually free. Sure, it doesn't explicitly cost you money out of your pocket, but it does cost you time to scan newspapers, magazines, and the Internet for savings that sometimes seem insignificant. Economists refer to this as the opportunity cost of clipping coupons. For example, an hour spent clipping coupons means an hour less to spend earning income, enjoying leisure time, or sleeping. For those who have fewer high-value alternatives competing for their time, such as stay-at-home parents or retired senior citizens, coupon clipping may be time well spent. According to the Wall Street Journal (Source: "Doing the Math on…arrow_forward
