XYZ Corporation sells upscale adventure vacation packages that start at $7500. The stock market suddenly "melts down" and loses 35% of its value in under a month. Because people who lose a lot of money in the stock market now start feeling poorer, demand for upscale type vacation packages also starts to decline. Which environment is most likely at play in the scenario? A The technological environment. В The competitive environment. The economic environment. D The political and legal environment.

The first principle of economics in Chapter 1 is thatpeople face trade-offs. Use a production possibilitiesfrontier to illustrate society’s trade-off between two“goods”—a clean environment and the quantity ofindustrial output. What do you suppose determinesthe shape and position of the frontier? Show whathappens to the frontier if engineers develop anew way of producing electricity that emits fewerpollutants
please solve d and e Imagine a country XYZ that produces only two goods—chairs and tables. Together, the chairs and tablesindustries use all of the economy’s factors of production. The table below shows the productionpossibilities for XYZ:Production Possibilities for XYZChairs Tables600 0450 150300 250150 325 0 375a.

Match each diagram in Figure 1 with its description here.Assume that the economy is producing or attempting toproduce at point A and that most members of society likemeat and not fish. Some descriptions apply to more than one diagram, and some diagrams have more than onedescription.a. Inefficient production of meat and fishb. Productive efficiencyc. An inefficient mix of outputd. Technological advances in the productionof meat and fishe. The law of increasing opportunity costf. An impossible combination of meat and fish
Figure 1 below shows two production possibilies frontiers (PPFs). The solid one isthe original one. The dashed one is the PPF after a technological advance that hasbenefitted only the Y indusry. As an example, think of the invention of fruitpicking robots that benefits only agricultural production and is of no use insoftware production.Figure 2 shows the marginal social benefit (MSB) of X production in terms ofsacrifices of Y. For example, to produce the first unit of X, the society is willing togive up 40 units of Y. For the second unit the socirty is willing to sacrifice only 35units of Y.Before the technological advance:1. What are the marginal social costs (MSCs) of producing the second,third, and the fourth units of X in terms of the sacrifices of Y. Do youremember the reasons for these results?2. What are the allocatively efficient quantities of X and Y?3. Suppose that due to some good news about various health benefits of X,the marginal social benefit of X increases by 10 units…

Wireless, high-speed Internet is provided for free inthe airport of the city of Communityville.a. At first, only a few people use the service.What type of a good is this and why?b. Eventually, as more people find out aboutthe service and start using it, the speed of theconnection begins to fall. Now what type of agood is the wireless Internet service?c. What problem might result and why? What is onepossible way to correct this problem?
Below is the production possibilities table for consumer goods (maize) and capital goods (tractors):Type of productionProduction possibilities A B C D Emaize 30 27 21 12 0Tractors 0 2 4 6 8i. Show these data graphically. ii. If the economy is at point C, what is the cost of one more unit of maize? iii. Suppose improvement occurs in the technology of producing tractors but not in the technology of producing maize. Draw the new production possibilities curve. iv. Now assume that a technological advance occurs in producing maize but not in producing tractors. Draw the new production possibilities curve. v. Now draw a production possibilities curve that reflects technological improvement in the production of both goods.
The three residents of Smallville are consideringa fireworks display. Clark values this public goodat $80; Lana at $50; and Pete (who dislikesfireworks) at −$30. Fireworks cost the town $120,or $40 per person. The efficient outcome is for thetowna. to provide the public good because the medianperson values it more than its cost per person.b. to provide the public good because a majorityof the residents value it more than its cost perperson.c. to provide the public good because the total valueof a majority exceeds the total cost.d. not to provide the public good because the totalvalue of all residents is less than the total cost.
In 2006, the Australian Government incorporated research into corporate social responsibilities to determineif there is a need to include social and environmental responsibilities within the Corporation Act throughamendment procedure. It was decided not to incorporate a particular regulation through legislation, insteadrely upon the 'market forces' to encourage companies to do the 'right thing'. This viewpoint was expressedthat if companies did not look after the environment or did not act in a socially responsible manner, peoplewould not want to consume the organisations' products. From the equity market perspective, potentialinvestors would not want to invest in the organisations, and further workers wouldn't want to work for them,and so forth. Because companies were aware of such market forces, they would do the 'right thing' even inthe absence of legislation.Requirement:1) Using theories such as Public Interest Theory, Capture Theory and Economic Interest Group Theoryto critically…
