Consumers allocate their resources based on the ______?

Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Value-in-exchange: It is the amount of goods and services which we may obtain in the market in exchange of a particular thing. In other words, it is the price of a particular good which can be sold and bought in the market.
Value-in-use is the net present value (NPV) of a cash flow or other benefits that an asset generates for a specific owner under a specific use.
