3. You and a fellow student are working on a joint project in a course. You each know that your project's score in points will be split between the two of you. The project's score depends on the level of effort you put into the project, where your effort, ee [0,1], ranges between zero and one. Putting forth effort is costly to you, though: you feel a cost of effort given by c(e). Your partner faces the same cost function for her own effort. a. Suppose the score earned by the project is given by flee₂)=200 eje₂, and your cost of effort is given by c(e)=40e, . What is the effort chosen by you and your partner, and what is your score on the project? (Hint: You need to use best-response graphs on this one. The first-order conditions in this problem will only help you draw the best-response function of each player. Find the Nash equilibria by finding the intersections of the best-response functions.) b. Now suppose the score earned on the project is given by f(e1,e₂)=200 ejes and the cost of your effort is given by c(e.)=150(e)². What is the effort chosen by you and your partner, and what is your score on the project? (The hint on Part A still applies here.)

A factory manufactures both toy boats and toy trucks. It costs $125 to make a toy boat and $175 to make a toy truck. The factory only has $3,000 available to put into their production. If B is the number of boats made, and T is the number of trucks made, which of the following will be a Lagrangian equation if you are trying to maximise profits? a.120 + 5B + 7T = 0 b.120 - 5B - 7T = 0 c.0 = 120 - 5B + 7T d.0 = -120 - 5B - 7T e.120 + 5B - 7T = 0

2. The relationship between marginal and average costs Consider the following scenario to understand the relationship between marginal and average values. Suppose Latasha is a professional basketball player, and her game log for free throws can be summarized in the following table. Fill in the columns with Latasha's free-throw percentage for each game and her overall free-throw average after each game. Game Game Result Total Game Free-Throw Percentage Average Free-Throw Percentage 1. 8/10 8/10 80 80 6/10 14/20 3 1/5 15/25 4 3/5 18/30 5 8/10 26/40 On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot Latasha's free-throw percentage for each game individually, and use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot her overall average free-throw percentage after each game. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.

26. Suppose that you can schedule a worker for up to 4 hours per day. The total benefit andtotal cost functions are B(H) = 300H −20H2 and C(H) = 500H +60H2. The correspondingformulas for marginal benefit and marginal cost are MB(H) = 300 − 40H and MC(H) =500 + 120H. For how many hours should you schedule the worker?(a) 1.25 hours(b) 0.8 hours(c) 4 hours(d) 0 hours
Question 9 Which statement represents a rational application of opportunity cost? The value of the choice must be greater than or equal to the cost of the next-best alternative. The value of the next-best alternative is irrelevant since the alternative was not selected. The value of the choice must be greater than the sum of all available alternatives. Opportunity cost is useful for evaluating a decision after the fact, but not during the decision- making process. The value of the next-best alternative must be greater than or equal to the cost of the choice.
3.2 Differentiate between accounting costs and economic costs. Motivate your answer with the aid of examples
Apply the various principles of choice (dominance, Laplace, Minimax, Hurwicz, and Minimax Regret) to the following matrix. The numbers in the matrix are costs.
You pay a cover charge of $50 to get into a popular local nightclub. As the DJ is playing and you are dancing, you suddenly realize that you would much rather be at home studying economics. But $50 is a lot of money for you. Shouldn’t that affect your decision to stay or go? Select one: a. No. The $50 is a sunk cost. b. Yes. The $50 is an avoidable cost. c. Yes. Stay and get your money’s worth. d. No. This is your special night out, so don’t consider costs of any kind.
