Question 17 / 21:  Explain why an object only becomes a good when a person incorporates it into his plans.
Answer: 

Something is a good not because of its physical properties, but

because a person subjectively values it. If people didn't enjoy

smoking, then tobacco would cease being a (production) good

and would be the equivalent of a weed. A person values an object

as a good because the person has a plan in which that object will

help to achieve a goal.

Sample Partial Credit Answer

A person gives value to a good by thinking about it.
