ok, so this is my question. why when i'm in a law program, do i need to learn microeconomics? i know that there's a legitimate answer, but i don't wanna hear it. i have an assignment, and some of the questions are greek to me. like, for example- society is said to be underallocating resources to the production of a good X if, for the last unit produced: a)marginal benefit is greater than marginal cost, b)marginal benefit is less than marginal cost, c)opportunity cost of production is rising, d)consumption of good X is falling.

hello????? what in hell does that mean??? nancy? mags? you both did business, you should understand the ques. and there's like 14 more of them. urg.
