Here are the answers to your questions based on economic concepts:
1. **Marginal Utility**: The added satisfaction that a consumer gets from having one more unit of a good or service.
2. **Scarcity**: The inability to satisfy all wants at the same time. All resources and goods are limited. This requires choices to be made.
3. **To gain the most satisfaction possible**: This is what it means to maximize utility.
4. **Scarcity**: The situation in which newly discovered recordings that exist but are limited in number (only a few available for auction).
5. **Scarcity**: This term results in our necessity to make trade-offs.
6. **Someone who has one bicycle will have less use for another**: This is the best example of diminishing marginal utility.
7. **John has six shirts and is trying to decide the value of buying a seventh**: This statement best illustrates how diminishing marginal utility impacts consumer decisions.
8. **Finishing the book**: This is her opportunity cost because it's the value of the next best alternative she is giving up.
9. **Anticipated benefits**: Economists assume people choose something when its expected costs are less than its anticipated benefits.
10. **Rise**: When demand exceeds supply, prices rise.
11. **Future Consequences Count**: This example illustrates recognizing future consequences of a present decision.
12. **True**: The formula for productivity is indeed Inputs/Outputs (Inputs over Outputs).
13. **Must make choices**: Because people have unlimited wants and limited resources, they must make choices.
14. **Future Consequences Count**: This example describes considering future consequences of leaving work early.
15. **False**: Utility is typically defined as the satisfaction derived from consuming a good or service, while "total utility" refers to the total satisfaction received.
16. **Cost vs. Benefit**: This example illustrates weighing the cost (not being good at cutting hair) against the benefit (getting a professional haircut).
17. **WHAT TO PRODUCE? HOW TO PRODUCE? FOR WHOM TO PRODUCE?**: These are the three basic questions of every economic system.
18. **True**: Whatever choice is made, the alternative given up is indeed the opportunity cost.
19. **Incentives Matter**: This illustrates how a financial incentive (double pay) affects decision-making.
20. **Incentives**: The example illustrates a reward for good performance (money for an "A" in Math class).
