Toyota has started a major expansion of a Texas factory. It has already spent $11 million and has finished one building. It can finish the interior for an additional $6 million. The highest price it can get for the current unfinished building is $7 million. If Toyota’s estimated benefits of the building with the finished interior are $15 million, what should it do? . a Complete the interior. The benefits of the finished building are greater than the $6 million costs of the building. b Complete the interior. The benefits of the finished building are greater than the $7 million costs of the building. c Complete the interior. The benefits of the finished building are greater than the $13 million costs of the building. d Sell the building. The benefits of the finished building are less than the $17 million costs of the building. e Sell the building. The benefits of the finished building are less than the $24 million costs of the building.

Review the numbers for Canada and Venezuelafrom Table 33.12 which describes how many barrelsof oil and tons of lumber the workers can produce. Usethese numbers to answer the rest of this question.a. Draw a production possibilities frontier for eachcountry. Assume there are 100 workers in eachcountry. Canadians and Venezuelans desire bothoil and lumber. Canadians want at least 2,000tons of lumber. Mark a point on their productionpossibilities where they can get at least 3,000tons.b. Assume that the Canadians specializecompletely because they figured out they havea comparative advantage in lumber. They arewilling to give up 1,000 tons of lumber. Howmuch oil should they ask for in return for thislumber to be as well off as they were with notrade? How much should they ask for if theywant to gain from trading with Venezuela? Note:We can think of this “ask” as the relative price ortrade price of lumber.c. Is the Canadian “ask” you identified in (b) alsobeneficial for Venezuelans? Use the…

What is the opportunity cost of increasing tables production from 250 tables to 325tables? If I solve it by using slope method (250-325)/(300-150)=-0.5 is it correct? Because we should use slope method (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Question Evidence accumulates that the use of chemical fertilizers, which increases agricultural production greatly, damages water quality. A) Explain in words how you would draw a production possibility curve to depict this (which “good” should be placed on each axis) and why your curve would have a particular shape. B) In what ways does the production possibilities curve from part a) reflect scarcity, choice and opportunity cost? C) Discuss THREE possible impacts of an improved fertilizer on the production possibility frontier from part a.

A nation’s population size and the affluence of its citizenseach influence its resource consumption and environmentalimpact. As of 2013, the world’s population passed 7.1 billion,average per capita income was $11,690 per year, and the latest estimate for the world’s average ecological footprint was2.7 hectares (ha) per person. The sampling of data in the tablewill allow you to explore patterns in how population, affluence,and environmental impact are related. Draw a graph illustrating total impact (on the y axis) inrelation to affluence (on the x axis). What do the resultssuggest to you?
Instructions: Once you’ve read Chapter 1: Limits, Alternatives, and Choices and Chapter 1 Appendix: Graphs and Their Meaning then read the scenario and find the solutions to the problems. Scenario: Suppose that you are on a desert island and possess exactly 20 coconuts. Your neighbor, Friday, is a fisherman, and he is willing to trade 2 fish for every 1 coconut that you are willing to give him. Another neighbor, Kwame, is also a fisherman, and he is willing to trade 3 fish for every 1 coconut. Problems: On a single figure, draw budget lines for trading with Friday and for trading with Kwame. (Put coconuts on the vertical axis.) Note: The budget line from trading with Friday (or Kwame) features a set of attainable combinations of coconuts and fish. What is the slope of the budget line from trading with Friday? What is the slope of the budget line from trading with Kwame?
