Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. Suppose that at your university, you will pay $15,000 each year for tuition, $3,000 each year for textbooks, and $8,000 per year for room and board. Before you left for college, your boss at your high-school job offered you a job paying $15,000 per year.Assume that if you decided not to go to college, your parents would not let you live at home.What is your opportunity cost for four years of college? $____
Suppose there are two individuals, Casey and Rick, who live in a very simplified world where only two goods are produced and consumed; rice and beans. The production opportunity cost for Casey is 4.00kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Rick has a production opportunity cost of 2.00 kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Casey eventually realizes that, through trade, both individuals can be better off. Rick is willing to trade. What price can be settled between these two parties such that both individuals can enjoy more rice and beans?

Steve and Craig have been shipwrecked on a deserted island in the South Pacific. Their economic activity consists of either gathering pineapples or fishing. We know Steve can catch four fish in one hour or harvest two baskets of pineapples. In the same time Craig can reel in two fish or harvest two baskets of pineapples. Assume Craig and Steve both operate on straight-line production possibilities curves. What is Steve's opportunity cost of producing a basket of pineapples? Of a producing a fish? What is Craig's opportunity cost of producing a basket of pineapples? Of a producing a fish?
Alec and Ellie are the only detectives in the town of Broadchurch. They work together. Assume efficient production. Each has 10 hours in a day to allocate between conducting interviews and completing paperwork. Alec takes 25 hours to complete one interview or 4 hours to complete one file of paperwork. Ellie takes 15 hours to complete one interview or 20 hours to complete one file of paperwork. What is Alec's Opportunity Cost of an interview in terms of files of paperwork? Enter a number only. Note: The question here is asking you for the opp. cost in terms of files so you can just enter a number. On the assessments if the question is phrased as "what is the opportunity cost?", you will have to enter the units as well, without which you will not get full credit.
