    Some questions for chapter 5:

    1. In C-C, what does either party gain/lose in terms of use-value and value, respectively? What about C-M-C?
    2. If all commodities are sold at N percent above their value, will surplus value be created, in an individual transaction or in general? Why or why not?
    3. If some commodities are sold above their value, will surplus value be created, in an individual transaction or in general? Why or why not?
