Question

Kenneth Pantoja · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The endowment effect is a psychological phenomenon where people ascribe more value to things merely because they own them. Therefore, Riley would likely require more than the $200 she paid to be willing to sell the racket, making $250 a plausible amount reflecting this effect.
