In: Economics
a) As my wage is only $10 per hour I have to buy a 400$ ticket as If I can work 40 hours I can earn the flight ticket money where as if I want to buy the 500$ ticket I have to work 50 hours which means 10 hours more. So I will better take a $400 ticket even if if takes more time consuming than 500$ ticket.
Here money is matter if I pleasent or unpleasent with sitting in airport also I have to take a $400 ticket as I have to work to get that money.
b) If my wage increase to 20$ per hour I will take a $500 ticket because here I am earning more money in a week and so I can afford a higher price ticket. I can pay higher price ,so I will take that 500$ ticket as it is a non stop flight which will not make me sit all alone in an airport
c) If I love my job and think airport are horribly stressful I will definitely take a non stop flight of 500$ even it is costly irrespective of wage I earn whether it is 10$ or 20$ per hour. If it is 10$ per hour I will work more hours and get money for my flight ticket.
So I will take a $500 flight ticket.
