This scenario is an example of the principle of economics that says trade can make everyone better off.

Explanation:

Devising the financial value of time and activities is critical when it comes to financial management. It is preferable to an activity only if it is worth the time that is being allotted to it. It the same time can be spent on something that would fetch more returns, continuing to do the same activity is worthless.
