4. Farmer Jones and Farmer Smith graze their cattle on the same field. If there are 20 cows grazing in the field, each cow produces $4,000 of milk over its lifetime. If there are more cows in the field, then each cow can eat less grass, and its milk production falls. With 30 cows on the field, each produces $3,000 of milk; 40 cows, each produces $2,000 of milk. Cows cost $1,000 a piece. a. b. C. Assume that Farmer Jones and Farmer Smith can each purchase either 10 or 20 cows but that neither knows how many the other is buying when she makes her purchase. Calculate the payoffs of each outcome. What is the likely outcome of this game? What would be the best outcome? Explain. There used to be more common fields than there are today. Why? (Hint: we talked about "The Tragedy of the Commons" in lecture)

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. Person Willingness and Ability to Purchase (Dollars) Felix 550,000 Janet 480,000 Larry 420,000 Megan 380,000 Raphael 340,000 Susan 330,000 Which of these people will purchase one of the three mountain resort plots? Check all that apply. Felix Janet Larry Megan Raphael Susan Now, assume that the three mountain plots have been sold to the people that you Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

1.Use the marginal analysis technique to determine the quantity of organic coconut oil that will maximize net benefits. Present results in table form and highlight the maximizinglevel. 2. Graphically illustrate letter B. Separate the graphs for TB – TC approach, MB = MC rule, and net benefit (maximum). The sequence of the graph: (1) TB – TC approach (topmost graph); (2) net benefit (middle graph); and (3) MB, MC, & MNB (last, 3rd graph). But be sure that the graphs are parallel in X-axis so as to be consistent in the results. (Label your graphs accordingly and appropriately.)

To improve allocative efficiency A. producers should produce one more roast beef sandwich because MB > MC. B. producers should produce one more roast beef sandwich because MB equals MC. C. producers should not produce one more roast beef sandwich because MB > MC. D. producers should not produce one more roast beef sandwich because MB equals MC.
4. Explain all resources that economy relies?
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 What is Proximity’s ‘design approach’ and how does it function in practice? How has it translated into social impact? 2 Both Cyclone Nargis and the political/economic reforms of 2011 were huge disruptions for Proximity Designs. How did each of these events push the organization to develop new assets and competencies? 3 As Jim and Debbie Taylor, what would you do about Proximity’s irrigation business? Consider its relevance to Proximity’s mission, the changing external context, the organization’s resources, and the products’ business model (product/market fit, customer value proposition, revenue and profit model, sales, marketing & distribution strategy and the unit economics). 4 As Jim and Debbie Taylor, what would you do about Proximity’s lending business?
