3. Suppose the Canada can produce cattle or corn with a given amount of resources. Below is a graphdepicting the production possibility frontier for Canada and the marginal benefit and cost of a bushel ofcorn. Discuss the relationship between the marginal cost and marginal benefit of corn and the production ofboth corn and cattle.(a) Discuss the overallocation of resources, underallocation of resources, and optimal allocation of resources. (b) When operating at the optimal level of corn production, what is the optimal level of cattle production? Whyis this the optimal amount (why not more or less cattle)?
16. How prices allocate resources Suppose that there are three beachfront parcels of land available for sale in Asilomar and six people who would each like to purchase one parcel. Assume that the parcels are essentially identical and that the minimum selling price of each is $445,000. The following table states each person's willingness and ability to purchase a parcel.
HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?
