1. Working with Numbers and Graphs Q1 Suppose the marginal costs of reading are constant at $5 per hour, while the marginal benefits of reading decline (over time) as more reading is performed. In particular, suppose the following table contains the marginal benefit associated with various levels of hours spent reading. Time Spent Reading (Hours) 3 12 MARGINAL COST, MARGINAL BENEFIT ($ per hour of reading per week) Assume the marginal-benefit curve is a straight line through the two points described in the table. On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the marginal-benefit curve for reading. Next, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the marginal-cost curve for reading.

A household is considering installing solar panels, but they need to understand what they are paying for electricity. They use an average of 15 kilowatt hours of electricity per day, and an average month is 30 days. They pay $0.22 per kilowatt hour for the first 350 kilowatt hours used in a month, and $0.19 per kilowatt hour after that (a) What is their average cost of electricity?(b)What is their marginal cost of electricity?

2. Determining opportunity cost Suppose that Ciana is deciding whether or not to buy a pair of sneakers that she has been researching online, and also the best place to make her purchase. Three different stores in the area sell the sneakers she likes, but some stores are more convenient for Ciana to reach than others. One option is her local shoe store located only 15 minutes away from where she works, where they charge a marked-up price of $112 for the sneakers: Ciana earns an hourly wage of $42 at her job. In order to purchase her sneakers she will have to take time off work, so each hour away from her job costs her $42 in lost income. Assume that Ciana’s travel time is the same each way (to and from the store) and that it will take her 30 minutes once she reaches a store to complete her shopping. Assume throughout the question that Ciana incurs no additional costs other than the sneakers, such as gas. Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of…
