(2) Lindsay derives less utility than Joy does by reading concerning Harry’s adventures. (3) Lindsay’s price elasticity of demand is less than Joy’s is for these books. (4) Joy probably wants glasses to read the smaller kind used to print paperbacks. (5) Lindsay is not as avid a Harry Potter fan like Joy is.
