Answer to Question 1

Used cars usually sell for less when compared to new cars manufactured in the same year because buyers are worried about the quality of used cars; only the sellers know about the true quality of a used car. Therefore, they are not willing to pay as much for a used car as they are for a new car. This is exactly what happened in Poorland before the entry of certified used-car dealers in the market. However, when certified used-car dealers entered into the market, buyers had better information about the quality of the cars and therefore, were willing to pay more for good-quality cars. This is an example of signaling.

Answer to Question 2

C

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
