How 
The preferences of a given person determine the economic value of a good or service and the trade-offs that they will be willing to make to obtain it

For example, if a person has an apple, then the economic value of that apple is the benefit that they receive from their use of the apple.

Value is the worth of something, usually understood as a degree that covers both positive and negative magnitudes corresponding to the terms good and bad. Values influence many human endeavors related to emotion, decision-making, and action. Value theorists distinguish between intrinsic and instrumental value. 

An entity has intrinsic value if it is good in itself, independent of external factors. An entity has instrumental value if it is useful as a means leading to other good things. 

Some classifications focus on the type of benefit, including economic, moral, political, aesthetic, and religious values. Other categorizations include attributive, predicative, personal, impersonal, and agent-relative values.
