Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

There is an active market for cola-flavored soft drinks because there are enough consumers who want these soft drinks and are willing to pay for them. Not enough consumers want sauerkraut-flavored soft drinks, and since they are not willing to pay for these soft drinks, there are no producers making them. This is the principle of consumer sovereignty.

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.
