Syukri, Iqmal and Amir run the only shop in Wang Ulu. They sell electrical goods such as televisions, washing machines, etc. However, their objectives are different from each other. Syukri wants to make as much profit as he can, Iqmal wants to sell as many goods as he can without losing money, and Amir wants to earn as much revenue as he can. The graph below illustrates their respective profits. (Note: The length of each square on the Y-axis represents RM100, and the length of each square on the X-axis represents 100 units.)

- What is productive efficiency? Allocative efficiency?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 clean—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.Think back to a purchase that you made recently. How would you describe your thinking before you made that purchase?

He also hassome toys and playground equipment that originally cost $500, but which he wouldn’t getany money for reselling today. Sven looks after all the children himself, so he doesn’t pay anymoney in labor costs. If he weren’t busy with the daycare, he could earn $120 per day as aprivate nanny. What is Sven’s daily economic profit from the daycare? (Select one from below) (a) $300: Economic profit is equal to revenue.(b) $180: That is his revenue minus opportunity cost.(c) $150: That is his revenue minus input cost.(d) $130: That is his revenue minus variable cost.(e) $50: That is his revenue minus accounting cost.(f) $30: That is his revenue minus economic cost.(g) $0: In the long run, all firms must make zero profits.(h) –$200:…

The table shows the demand and cost data for a firm in a monopolistically competitive industry producing drinking water from underground springs. The profit-maximizing output is _____ cases. Select one: a. 7 b. 5 c. 6 d. 864. (This problem assumes knowledge of the basic rulesof baseball.) George Lindsey (1959) looked at boxscores of more than 1000 baseball games and foundthe expected number of runs scored in an inning foreach on-base and out situation to be as listed in the fileP09_64.xlsx. For example, if a team has a man on firstbase with one out, it scores 0.5 run on average untilthe end of the inning. You can assume throughout thisproblem that the team batting wants to maximize theexpected number of runs scored in the inning.a. Use this data to explain why, in most cases,bunting with a man on first base and no outs isa bad decision. In what situation might buntingwith a man on first base and no outs be a gooddecision?b. Assume there is a man on first base with one out.What probability of stealing second makes an attempted steal a good idea?
