1. Determining opportunity cost Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $103 for the skirt: Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Skirt (Minutes) (Dollars per skirt) Local Department Store 15 103 Across Town 30 89 Neighboring City 60 63 Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling. Complete the following table by computing the…

2. Determining opportunity cost Suppose that Ciana is deciding whether or not to buy a pair of sneakers that she has been researching online, and also the best place to make her purchase. Three different stores in the area sell the sneakers she likes, but some stores are more convenient for Ciana to reach than others. One option is her local shoe store located only 15 minutes away from where she works, where they charge a marked-up price of $112 for the sneakers: Ciana earns an hourly wage of $42 at her job. In order to purchase her sneakers she will have to take time off work, so each hour away from her job costs her $42 in lost income. Assume that Ciana’s travel time is the same each way (to and from the store) and that it will take her 30 minutes once she reaches a store to complete her shopping. Assume throughout the question that Ciana incurs no additional costs other than the sneakers, such as gas. Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of…
image for question a. If she can visit only one of the stores, which one would she go and what would be her optimal bundle there? Could she afford this very bundle at the other store? (b) If she can freely visit both stores, (buying each commodity from the store where it is cheaper !!) what would be her optimal bundle? What would she buy from each store? (c)Back to (a), how much money would she willing to give up (out of her $720 budget) for the ability to visit both stores rather than only one store? (HINT: After giving up that money, she is left with less money with which optimizing utility with the option of visiting both stores -buying each commodity from the cheaper store- she is able to achieve the same level of utility in the scenario with the original uncut budget but having to choose only one of the stores to shop at)
