Later, the teaching assistant in Megan's physics course gives her some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 70 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.

1. Kim owns a Porsche and a Toyota. The Porsche has a fuel economy of 15 miles per gallon (mpg) and she plans to drive it 3,000 miles this year. The Toyota gets 30 miles per gallon and she plans to drive it 15,000 miles this year. Suppose Kim can install a device that improves the fuel economy of any vehicle by 5 miles per gallon. However, she only has one of the devices. Which vehicle should she install it on if her goal is to minimize fuel consumption this year?

There was once a tree on the Campus of Benedict College that students labeled the “Dummy Tree.” This was done because students that were often seen under the tree were considered to be wasting their very valuable time. Therefore, this tree was attributed with contributing to the bad grades of those students that were constantly under the tree. Let’s say that a student spent 4 hours a week under the tree and was supposed to spend 15 hours a week in class. Further suppose that this particular student made some new friends through out the semester that are bad influences. They were able to convince him to hang out longer under the tree. So now he is under the tree 7 hours a week. What happened to his class time? Show a production possibilities model that may have demonstrated this student’s behavior. Do not forget to include opportunity costs in your analysis.
