1-18 Katherine D'Ann is planning to finance her college education by selling programs at the football games for State University. There is a fixed cost of $400 for printing these programs, and the variable cost is $3. There is also a $1,000 fee that is paid to the univer- sity for the right to sell these programs. If Katherine was able to sell programs for $5 each, how many would she have to sell in order to break even?

What are diminishing marginal returns?
The state of Colorado requires oil and gas companies who use fracking techniques to retune the land to its original condition after the oil and gas extractions. Table 12.9 shows the total cost and total benefits (in dollars) of this policy. Calculate the marginal cost and the marginal benefit at each quantity (acre) of land restored. See Production. Costs and Industry Structure if you need a refresher on how to calculate marginal costs and benefits. If we apply marginal analysis, what is the optimal amount of land to be restored?
Return to the example in Figure 2.4. Suppose there is an improvement in medical technology that enables more healthcare wilt line same amount of resources. How would this affect the production possibilities curve and, in particular, how would it affect the opportunity cost of education? Figure 2.4 Productive and Allocative Efficiency
What is an externality?
What is die difference between accounting and economic profit?
Becky and Sarah are sisters 1who share a room. Their room can easily get messy, and their parents am always telling them to tidy it. Here are the costs and benefits to both Becky and Sarah, of taking the time to clean their room: If both Becky and Sarah clean, they each spends two hours and get a clean room. If Becky decides not to clean and Sarah does all the cleaning, then Sarah spends 10 hours cleaning (Becky spends 0) but Sarah is exhausted. The same would occur for Becky if Sarah decided not to cleanâ€”Becky spends 10 hours and becomes exhausted. If both girls decide not to clean, they both have a dirty room. What is the best outcome for Becky and Sarah? What is the worst outcome? (It would help you to construct a prisoners dilemma table.) Unfortunately, we know that the optimal outcome will most liker not happen, and that the sisters probably will choose the worst one instead. Explain what it is about Beckys and Sarahs reasoning that will lead them both to choose the worst outcome.

1. Imagine yourself to be the owner of a large tract of agricultural land. You want the land to beproductive but then you have no idea how to farm. A landless farmer approached you, anddiscussed with you the possibilities of him tilling your farm. What kind of economic/financialarrangement do you think would be appropriate so that both of you benefits from the relations?Possible arrangements include:A. Employment of the farmer to be paid a fixed monthly wageB. Proportionate sharing of costs and profitC.Landowner bears all costs of farming implements and gets a bigger share of the profitsD. Other options.Please elaborate your answer
16. How prices allocate resources Suppose that there are three plots of mountain resort land available for sale in Niseko and six potential buyers, each interested in purchasing one plot. Assume that all of the plots are basically indistinguishable and that the minimum selling price of each is $400,000. The following table lists each potential buyer's willingness and ability to purchase a plot of land.

26. Suppose that you can schedule a worker for up to 4 hours per day. The total benefit andtotal cost functions are B(H) = 300H −20H2 and C(H) = 500H +60H2. The correspondingformulas for marginal benefit and marginal cost are MB(H) = 300 − 40H and MC(H) =500 + 120H. For how many hours should you schedule the worker?(a) 1.25 hours(b) 0.8 hours(c) 4 hours(d) 0 hours
