QUESTION 1
Stella and Milo run an organic farm. The table below provides some information regarding how much
they can accomplish in 1 day. The table indicates how much each farmer can accomplich by working the
entire day exclusively on milking cows or on harvesting corn (but not both). Each farmer can work a
fraction of the day on either task, in which case they accomplish a fraction of what they could do if they
worked exclusively on one task only. For example, if Sella spent 20% of the day milking cows and 80%
of the day havesting corn, she would milk (1/5) x 250 = 50 cows and harvest (4/5) x 10 = 8 acres of
corn.

Suppose there are three techniques for producing 1 wool blanket (Techniques 1, 2, and 3), as shown in the table above.
а.
Given the resource prices shown, which production technique would the firm use? Why?
b. Suppose the firm can sell blankets for $26 each. Would the firm be profitable?
c.
Assume a new technique is developed that economizes on the relatively expensive labor. It requires 2 units of land, one unit of labor, 3 units
of capital, and 1 unit of entrepreneurial ability. Would the firm adopt this new technique?

King Size Beds
For some couples, the solution for too much pandemic togetherness is saying good night on Valentine’s Day in a bigger bed where they don’t need to touch.
After nearly two years of working from home and sharing close quarters with spouses, kids and pets, people are tossing out their full- and queen-size beds in favor of more spacious kings.
After nearly two years of working from home and sharing close quarters with spouses, kids and pets, people are tossing out their full- and queen-size beds in favor of more spacious kings.
Robert Pagano and his girlfriend, Tracy Jones, weighed the pros and cons of switching to a king from a queen last year. The couple, who live in Las Vegas, had been getting on each other’s nerves when they were stuck working from home.
“We hoped a bigger bed would help us avoid arguments,” Mr. Pagano said. “But we were worried the extra…

To earn extra money in the summer, you grow tomatoes and sell them at a local farmers' market for $0.15 per pound. By adding
compost to your garden, you can increase your yield as shown in the accompanying table.
Instructions: Determine the number of additional pounds of tomatoes you are able to grow by using each additional pound of
compost. Then compute the additional revenue for marginal benefit) from each additional pound of compost. Enter your responses in
the table below, rounding the marginal benefit of each pound of compost to the nearest penny (two decimal places).

In recent years, the United States has experienced large increases in oil production due in large part to a
new technology, hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"). Fracking involves injecting a mixture of water, sand, and
chemicals into rock formations at high pressure to release oil and natural gas. An article in the Wall Street
Journal indicates that economies of scale in fracking may be considerably smaller than in conventional oil
drilling. If this view is cor- rect, what would the likely consequences be for the num- ber of firms drilling for
oil in the United States?

Pick one of your items. You have been contacted by a customer in Alaska who
wants to purchase several of these items and wants you to ship the items to her.
You have already established the cost per item and you will only charge the
customer $5 to ship these items to Alaska. Suppose another company sells the
same item but charges half of your price. However, if the customer buys from this
company, she will be charged $20 in shipping costs.
a. Write two equations to represent the customer's total cost based on how
many items she buys from each of the two sellers-you and the other
company.
b. If the customer in Alaska wants to buy 5 items, from whom should she buy?
Explain your answer.

Later, the teaching assistant in Beth's math course gives her some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 35
problems raises a student's exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour." For simplicity, assume students always cover
the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading.
