Asymmetric Information
, when one party in a transaction has less information than the other; ex: doctor&patient; gives the party
with more information the power to take advantage of the one with less
can react different way:
accept flawed info
reject good info

Marginal Vs. Total Analysis
Both are valuable tools.
Marginal Analysis focuses on additional costs associated with a certain activity to determine if the gains
would outway the additional costs. Also if eliminating that activity would decrease earnings more than it
would cut costs.
Total Analysis looks at all the costs incurred while engaging in an activity. It is composed of variable &
fixed costs. Total analysis tries to understand if you should increase or decrease an activity. Also how that
would affect revenue and costs.
