The total opportunity cost of seeing the movie is O A ) $9 O B ) $29 O C ) Indeterminate O D ) $ 29 minus the benefit of seeing the movieIt takes Andy 45 minutes to complete a load of laundry and 15 minutes to wrap a present. It takes Bob 60 minutes to complete a load of laundry and 30 minutes to wrap a present. Which of the following statements is true? Select one : O A. Bob's opportunity cost of doing a load of laundry is wrapping 3 presents. O B. Bob has a comparative advantage in doing laundry. O C. Bob has a comparative advantage in wrapping a present. O D. Andy's opportunity cost of wrapping a present is doing 3 loads of laundry. O E. Bob has an absolute advantage in doing laundry.Assume China has 10,000 workers. Suppose that each Chinese worker produces either 30 pairs of boots or 10 software per month. Suppose that half of Chinese workers produce boots and half produce programs. What quantities of boots and software does China produce? Are these production combinations efficient? Select one: O a. China produces 50,000 pairs of boots and 150,000 software per month. These production combinations are efficient O b. China produces 150,000 pairs of boots and 50,000 software per month. These production combinations are efficient. O c. China produces 50,000 pairs of boots and 150,000 software per month. These production combinations are not efficient. O d. China produces 150,000 pairs of boots and 50,000 software per month. These production combinations are not efficient.
- "Any social planner who implements efficient outcomes will produce the same output in a given market as the competitive market would." In addition to the conditions of the first welfare theorem, which of the following have to hold in order for the statement in quotes to be true? O a. Consumer tastes are quasilinear. O b. Consumer tastes are homothetic. O c. Production frontiers are homothetic. O d.Both (a) and (c). O e. Both (b) and (c). Of. None of the above.Assume that your company produces two goods: laptops and tablets. Assume aslo that your company has limited resources( including time) to devote to producing these items. Now assume that the laptop team does something to improve the efficiency of making laptops, while the tabley holds to old methods. Given the change you can a) only increase your production of laptops b) only increase your production of tablets c) increase production of both items d) not increase your production in either tablets or laptops.1. In order to maximize profit a producer will always produce at a point where the Marginal Benefit is greater than the Marginal Cost (MB>MC). True or False? Why? 2. The Opportunity Cost (OC) of production shall be also be included in optimal production decision even if these are not ‘out of pocket’ costs of production. True or False? Why? 3. When OC are included in production decisions it is always the case that optimal level of production will be lower compared with a situation where OC are not included. True or False? Why?
- Return to the example in Figure 2.4. Suppose there is an improvement in medical technology that enables more healthcare wilt line same amount of resources. How would this affect the production possibilities curve and, in particular, how would it affect the opportunity cost of education? Figure 2.4 Productive and Allocative Efficiency[MUST SHOW WORK] Consider the above table for the market for oranges. A deep frost destroys many or the orange juice businesses to go put of business. As a result, quantity supplied decreases hper kg and the new equilibrium quantiy is.........? kg of oranges The new equilibrium price is .............? kg of oranges Select one: O A. 1.70;400 O B. 1.10; 700 O C. 1.20;650 O D. 0.90;400 O E. 1.50;500Consider the production of handmade rugs and assembly robots in India and Canada. Assume that Canada is relatively abundant in capital and that India is relative abundant in labour. Furthermore assume that the production technology for rugs and robots is the same in both countries. Draw production possibilities frontiers for each country keeping the production of rugs in the horizontal axis and the production of robots in the vertical axis. Assuming that consumer preferences are the same in both countries, add indifference curves and relative price lines under autarky. What are the differences in the relative price of rugs between the countries under autarky?
- Cape Town and Durban were first developed in the 17th and 18th centuries as trading posts on theshipping route between Western Europe and Asia. During the 19th century, this role changed withthe discovery of diamonds and gold in the interior. The port cities developed from being stop-overand service points providing shipping services, to being ports through which commodities weretraded.”The change in the that occurred in the Durban and Cape Town ports during the 19th century is best explained by…a) A movement along the production possibilities frontier.b) A movement towards the production possibilities frontierc) An outward movement of the production possibilities frontierd) An inward movement of the production possibilities frontierHow prices allocate resources Suppose that there are three beachfront parcels of land available for sale in Astoria 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 $745,000. The following table states each person's willingness and ability to purchase a parcel. Person Willingness and Ability to Purchase (Dollars) Andrew 900,000 Beth 810,000 Darnell 770,000 Eleanor 720,000 Jacques 690,000 Kyoko 680,000 Which of these people will buy one of the three beachfront parcels? Check all that apply. Andrew Beth Darnell Eleanor Jacques Kyoko Assume that the three beachfront parcels are sold to the people that you indicated in the previous section. Suppose that a few days after the last of those beachfront parcels is sold, another essentially identical beachfront parcel becomes available for sale at a minimum…Specify and explain the typical shapes of marginal-benefifit and marginal-cost curves. How are these curves used to determine the optimal allocation of resources to a particular product? If current output is such that marginal cost exceeds marginal benefifit, should more or fewer resources be allocated to this product? Explain.
