Question 1

Standard micro-economic theory suggests that consumers will make _____________ decisions on what sport products they consume.
A) Impulsive
B) Anticipated
C) Rational
D) Consistent

Accepted Answer

Standard micro-economic theory assumes that consumers make rational decisions, meaning they evaluate the costs and benefits of different options and choose the one that maximizes their utility. This theory holds that consumers have perfect information, are able to accurately assess the value of different products, and make choices that are consistent with their preferences. While some consumers may make impulsive or irrational decisions, these are not assumed to be the norm in micro-economic theory. Anticipated decisions are not mentioned in this context.

Question 2

Which of the following best represents factors that are thought to influence consumer decisions?
A) Biases, attitudes, experiences, and social forces
B) Time, ability, and location
C) Emotion and education
D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Biases, attitudes, experiences, and social forces are all common factors that impact consumer decisions. Time, ability, and location may be relevant, but they are more specific and may not always be applicable. Emotion and education can also play a role, but these factors are often encompassed within attitudes and experiences.

Question 3

From an outsider's perspective, an individual spending $10,000 for tickets to see their favourite team is an example of:
A) Normal behaviour
B) Irrational behaviour
C) Rational behaviour
D) Antisocial behaviour

Accepted Answer

Spending $10,000 for tickets to see a sports team can be seen as irrational behavior, as it may not align with the individual's financial means or priorities. Additionally, there may be alternative ways to enjoy the same experience for a lower cost, making the decision to spend such a large sum purely for entertainment purposes seemingly irrational.

Question 4

Which of the following are examples of cognitive biases that can influence consumer behaviour?
A) Confirmation bias
B) Loss aversion
C) Sunk costs
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

all of the given options are examples of cognitive biases that can influence consumer behavior. 
Confirmation bias refers to the tendency to seek out information that confirms one's pre-existing beliefs or attitudes. This can influence consumer behavior by leading individuals to selectively interpret information in a way that supports their existing views, rather than considering other options. 
Loss aversion is the tendency to prefer avoiding losses over acquiring gains. This can influence consumer behavior by leading individuals to be more risk-averse when making decisions, and to value the potential threat of loss more highly than the potential gain. 
Sunk costs refer to investments that have already been made and cannot be recovered. This can influence consumer behavior by leading individuals to continue investing in a product, service, or activity even if it is not meeting their needs or expectations, due to the perceived loss involved in abandoning the investment.
