Return to the example in Figure 2.4. Suppose there is an improvement in medical technology that enables more healthcare wilt line same amount of resources. How would this affect the production possibilities curve and, in particular, how would it affect the opportunity cost of education? Figure 2.4 Productive and Allocative Efficiency

6. Suppose the United States can produce cattle or corn with a given amount of resources. Attached is a graph depicting the production possibility frontier for the United States and the marginal benefit and cost of a bushel of corn. You are asked to discuss the relationship between the marginal cost and marginal benefit of corn and the production of both corn and cattle. Production Possibility Frontier MC $9 40 30 B 20 3 MB 10 15 20 10 15 20 Bushels of Corn Quantity of Bushels of Corn (in billions) (in billions) (a) Determine whether there is an overallocation of resources, underallocation of resources, and optimal allocation of resources. For example, at 10 billion bushels of corn production, what are the marginal cost and marginal benefit? MB: Do they meet the marginal principle of MB=MC? (Yes, No) If not, what problem happens? There an ( underallocation, overallocation ) of resources to corn production. MC: Similarly mention in case of at 15 billion bushels and 20 billion bushels.…
1. Suppose a farmer along Lake Lansing uses insecticides. The insecticide runs off into Lake Lansing causing it to become more polluted and increasing the growth of algae along the shoreline. Suppose the farmer's profits increase by $200 for each additional ton of fertilizer used until the farmer reaches 6 tons and then the profits do not increase at all if increase fertilizer use beyond 6 tons. Suppose the total cost (to people who live along the shoreline, use the beaches and fish) of different levels of fertilizer is given in the table below. (Note how difficult it would be to accurately measure this cost.) Unit of fertilizer 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Total Cost $0 $50 $120 $240 $400 $590 $800 a) Assuming transaction costs are zero, what would happen if the farmer is given property rights to the lake? (Discuss how much fertilizer would be used and the transfer of money.) b) Assuming transaction costs are zero, what would happen if the people who swim and fish in Cayugu Lake are given property…
art 1 of O Points: 0 of 1 Previous Question A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or Site B. After sorting, some of ti plant are shown in the table below. hsported to an electric power plant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power Site A Site B Average hauling distance 5 miles 4 miles $110,000 Annual rental fee for solid-waste site $4,000 Hauling cost $1.43/yd"-mile $1.43/yd'-mile If the power plant will pay $8.06 per cubic yard of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city's viewpoint and assume that 200,000 cubic yards of refuse will be hauled to the plant for one year only. One site must be selected. The total cost of locating the power plant at the Site A is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
8. JExplain what is meant by the term “market failure" by giving two major types of such failures. A (Market failure is a situation where the competitive market system on its own would either (1) produce the "wrong" amount of certain goods and services as is the case where there are external costs or benefits (i.e., e services referred to as " (p ), or (2) fail to allocate any resources to the production of certain goods and )".
