re is a road between the suburbs and downtown. The road becomes congested at rush hour. As long as no more than 99 people use the road at rush hour, the trip takes 30 minutes. When the 100st son enters the road, everyone slows down and the trip now takes 31 minutes. People value their time at $6 per hour (i.e., $0.10 per minute) and so a 30-minute trip costs $3. What is the total social t of 100 people using the road?

- Assume you are pursuing a bachelor’s degree and you have 40 hours to divide between work and school in a week. You choose the amount of time you spend on each based on the classes you take and the hours you request at work. The degree will take you 3 years to complete if you dedicate 40 hours a week and do not take summers off. Obviously, if you devote no time to school, you never get your degree. You have been going to school full time for two quarters. In the third quarter, you do not receive as much loan money as you anticipate and need. You decide to work 20 hours a week to make up the difference and take fewer classes. What is your opportunity cost? Make sure to include how this change will factor into the length of time it will take you to finish your degree.Mirtha owns an online jewelry store that specializes in earrings. In March, she sells 50 pairs of earrings priced at $15. The cost of materials to create the 50 pairs of earrings was $100. The website she uses to sell her wares costs her $10 a month, and she is also charged 4% on each sale by the company that processes debit/credit card purchases. Which of the following best represents Mirth’s total cost? Group of answer choices A)The $750 Mirtha earned from earring sales minus the materials ($100), online website charge ($10), and payment processing charge (4%) B)The sum of the materials ($100), website charge ($10), and 4% payment processing charge (4%) C)The cost of all the materials used to create the earrings, $100 D)The costs of materials minus the costs it takes to run her business through the online store, in this case the $10 website charges and the 4% payment processing chargeCassie's Quilts alters, reconstructs and restores heirloom quilts. Cassie has just spent $800 purchasing, cleaning and reconstructing an antique quilt which she expects to sell for $1,500 once she is finished. After having spent $800, Cassie discovers that she would need some special period fabric that would cost her $200 in material and time in order to complete the task. Alternatively, she can sell the quilt "as is" now for $900. What should she do? She should cut her losses and sell the quilt now. It does not matter what she does; she is going to take a loss on her project. She should purchase the period fabric, complete the task and then sell the quilt. She should not do anymore work on the quilt because she has already spent too much time on it and has not been paid for that time
