Answer to Question 1

Trade-offs occur because of scarcity: economic agents need to satisfy their wants with limited resources. Therefore, in most cases, some benefits have to be given up in order to gain some other benefits. Budget constraints quantify the relevant trade-offs that an economic agent faces. Once trade-offs are quantified, rational decision making becomes easier allowing the individual to make an optimal decision.
