CIPS L3M1 Exam - Topic 4 Question 44 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L3M1 exam
Question #: 44
Topic #: 4
[All L3M1 Questions]

'The value of a commodity or service measured in terms of the standard monetary unit' describes:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The definition shown refers to the word 'price'. The price is what someone will pay for something - the extent to which a customer values something - and the reference to the standard monetary unit refers to, for example, a dollar, a Euro, a dinar or whatever.

The other answers are, to some extent, intended to confuse, as they use some of the words shown in the definition. Care must be taken not to jump to a conclusion here.

The response 'cost' should give pause for thought, as, in a sense, the cost of doing or making some-thing may have value. But value is determined by the customer - this definition is a reference to the value the customer would pay - the price.

This sounds a lot like the definition of "value," but I remember there being a specific term used in economics.

I think this might refer to "price," but I'm not entirely sure if that's the exact term they want.

Ugh, definitions are the worst. I'll try to break this down step-by-step - what is a commodity, what is a service, what do they have to do with a monetary unit? Hopefully that will lead me to the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to think through the different economic concepts related to value and pricing. Maybe I can eliminate some of the options if I can't decide on the best answer.

This sounds like the definition of price. I'll focus on identifying the key terms like "commodity", "service", and "monetary unit" to determine the correct answer.
