Question 2

Which of the following is a reason that some economists do not agree with the concept of a labor-leisure tradeoff?
a. Wages are paid in dollars and leisure is measured in time, hence there is no way to compare the two.
b. On a day-to-day basis, most jobs do not have the flexibility to allow people to weigh the benefits and costs to determine how much they should work that day.
