KH: Kevin Hughes speaking 
NS: Good afternoon. My name’s Niger Stroke from GLM Engineering. I’m sending some 
machinery from Beaten to Norton and I’d like to discuss the best means of transportation. A 
friend told me the cheapest way is by sea. 
KH: Well you can’t send them directly from Beaten to Norton by sea. Norton isn’t even on the 
coast. 
NS: Oh. Becton’s on the coast though, isn’t it? 
KH: It is, but it hasn’t got a port. There’s a port at Easton, though, and you can send goods from 
Beaten to Easton by road or rail. They can travel from Easton to Sutton by ship and then you 
can either send them by trailer to Norton or by train via Ayton. 
NS: And which of those is the best route? 
KH: Well it depends how big your consignment is. It might be better to send the goods by air. 
There’s an airport at Norton. 
NS: And which airport do the goods travel from? 
KH: The nearest airport to Beaten is a Weston. You’ll have to transport the goods to Weston by 
road though. There used to be a railway line between Beaten and Weston, but there isn’t any 
more. 
NS: I see. Perhaps I’ll send the details to you and you can arrange the cheapest route. Will you do 
that? 
KH: That’s what we’re here for. I’d be delighted to help.

III. CONTENTS 
1. TEXT 4.1 
Basic human needs are simple, but every individual has additional personal wants which 
may be very complex. These complex personal wants are satisfied in different ways by different 
things. A car, a bottle of whisky and a newspaper satisfy very different wants and the whisky is 
not a close substitute for the car. This special characteristic of satisfying a want is known in 
economics as its “utility”. Utility is not the same as usefulness. A submarine, for example, may or 
may not be useful in peacetime, but it satisfies a want. Many nations want submarines. 
Economists describe this kind of utility as the relationship between a consumer and a commodity. 
Utility varies between different people and between different nations. A vegetarian does not 
want meat, but may rate bananas very highly. A mountain-republic like Switzerland has little 
interest in submarines, while maritime nations rate them highly. Utility also varies with time. In 
time of war, the utility of bombs is high and that of pianos is low. Utility is therefore related to our 
sense of priorities. The utility of a commodity is also related to the quantity available to the 
consumer. If men buy a large quantity of paper, they will lose interest in buying more paper. The 
demand for paper will go down. The utility of a commodity consequently decreases as the 
consumer’stock increases. 
In most economic systems, the prices of the majority of goods and services are fixed. The 
individuals can not change the prices of the commodities he wants, and when planning his 
expenditure, he must accept these prices. A consumer will go on buying cigarettes as long as his 
satisfaction continues and they render utility. If he continues to pay the current price, his
