11. In the depths of my imagination, the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) looks like a half donut on a graph, but only when I'm either hungry or really want something to go with my coffee at five in the morning. If you don't have my imagination, good for you, and here's what it sort of looks like: A. On the graph below, draw in an EKC. If you don't like drawing, just tell me if it should look like a U (U) or like an inverted U (N) and explain why. Pollution Per Capita GDP B. Imagine that an economy with a high per capita GDP, like Japan maybe, had really good environmental quality and enjoyed lots of consumer electronics made of heavy metals and electric cars with batteries full of nasty chemicals and stuff like that, how could that country's environmental quality be so good if they're consuming things whose production is inherently bad for the environment?|

Suppose the fictional country of Everglades produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for millet, an agricultural good, and electric scooters, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a breakout of avian flu that sickens millions of workers. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Say that you are a manager with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The table below shows fictional estimates of the marginal benefit and marginal cost of additional TSA security lines at Mahlon Sweet Field, the airport in Eugene, Oregon. Number of Marginal In this space, draw the graph of the marginal data from the left columns. Answer these questions below using the data table and graph. Benefit 3. Security Lines 1 2 3 4 5 6 $10,000 9,000 7,000 5,000 4,000 3,000 Marginal Cost $2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 8,000 12,000 The surplus of the marginal benefit over cost for the second security line is $ and $ for the third security line. If your goal is to maximize total surplus, you WILL / WILL NOT (circle one) operate a third security line. The optimal number of TSA security lines is because this is where the marginal equals the marginal which maximizes total

Japan Faces Butter Meltdown Japanese fans of cake, buttered toast and Hollandaise sauce may need to start hoarding soon. The island nation is facing another likely shortage of butter this fiscal year, according to a report by the Japan Dairy Association. It’s the second year of butter shortages that last year left supermarket shelves dry , amid tight import controls and falling domestic production of raw milk. Shortages are usually most acute near the Christmas season when consumers buy cakes. The JDA estimates a 7,100 ton shortage of butter in the year that started in April. The organization estimates domestic demand will rise 0.9% on year to 74,700 tons. Also fueling the shortages is a long-term fall in raw milk…
10. Jack and Jill work together at an IT company. They are asked to write a new piece of code to fix a bug in some company software, and then they have to give a presentation about it to their colleagues. Between the two of them, Jill works faster. She could write the code in 6 hours, and prepare the presentation in 1 hour. Jack works slower. He would take 7 hours to write the code, and 2 hours to prepare the presentation. Now assume that they have to divide their tasks so that precisely one person works on the code and one person works on the presentation. Who should work on what? Use the concept of comparative advantage in your explanation.
