You have a field on which you can grow two types of crops, barley and wheat. The field has 30 acres and each acre can produce 2 wheat or 3 barley. Suppose you are producing 60 barley and it is economically efficient for you to do so. How much wheat are you producing? 5 wheat 10 wheat 15 wheat 20 wheat

130.) Fred Durst and Carson Daly are lost in the Amazon wilderness. Other than their evening discussions about Christina Aguilera, they have to find food on which to subsist. The only two edible items they are able to find are bananas and crickets. Due to Carson’s big eyes, he is able to catch 40 crickets in a day if he spends his entire day hunting them down. If he picks bananas all day he can collect 10. Fred is much better at picking bananas. If he spends his entire day picking bananas, he can pick 30. If he spends his entire day hunting down crickets, he can find 60. Both Fred and Carson can choose to produce any linear combination above. Who is the low-cost producer of bananas? Fred Durst, because he only has to give up 1/2 Crickets in order to get an additional banana Fred Durst, because he only has to give up 2 Crickets in order to get an additional banana Carson Daly, because he only has to give up 1/4 Crickets in order to get an…
A firm operates two plants, Plant A and B. Both plants can produce good x and good y. Each plant can produce up to 250 days in a year. For every day plant A can produce either 10 units of good x or 5 units of y. For every day plant B can produce either 5 units of good x or 4 units of y. Question 9-16. Case B: the firm produces only y in plant A and only x in plant B. How many units of x and y are produced? Question 10 Quantity of y produced in Plant A Question 11 Quantity of x produced in Plant B Question 12 Quantity of y produced in Plant B Question 13 Quantity of x produced by the firm Question 14 Quantity of y produced by the firm Question 15 MRT, defined as the amount of y for each unit of x, of plant A Question 16 MRT, defined as the amount of y for each unit of x, of plant B

Monica grows coconuts and catches fish. Last year she harvested 1500 coconuts and 600 fish. She values one fish as having a worth of three coconuts. She gave Rachel 300 coconuts and 100 fish for helping her to harvest coconuts and catch fish, all of which were consumed by Rachel. Monica set aside 200 fish to help with next year's harvest. In terms of fish, consumption would equal 700 fish 900 fish 1100 fish 2700 fish
