What is meant by the term "marginal analysis"? Suppose an individual has to choose among renting four apartments at different distances from his place of work. The individual has to commute to work 5 days per week and would require different quantities of gasoline depending on the apartment he decides to rent. The monthly rents and expected gasoline consumption from each of the apartments is shown in the table below. If the price of gasoline is $5 per gallon, using marginal analysis, determine the optimum choice for the individual. Which principle is used for this optimization? What does it state?
