A human has the choice to spend 11 hours working or learning. If they spend an hour working, they earn $11. If they spend an hour learning, then they can expect to progress through 3 course concepts. What is their opportunity cost if they change from working 9 hours and learning 2 hours, to working 11 hours and learning 0 hours? O they gain $5, and forgo learning 4 course concepts Othey forgo $5, and learns another 7 course concepts O they gain $14, and forgo learning 7 course concepts they gain $22, and forgo learning 6 course concepts

An individual's budget Suppose Edison has a weekly budget of $32 to spend on coffee and cereal. Coffee is priced at $4 per cup, and cereal is priced at $2 per box. If Edison spends his entire $32 on coffee, he can buy cups of coffee. If he spends his entire $32 on cereal, he can buy boxes of cereal. Use the blue line ( circle symbol) to plot Edison's budget line on the following graph. Next, use the orange point (square symbol) to shade the area that represents combinations of coffee and cereal that are affordable for Edison. Finally, place the black point (plus symbol) on the point on Edison's budget line that corresponds to a scenario in which Edison spends $16 on each good. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. (?)-OBL, ($32) Affordable Region $16 on Each

Below is a table of production possibilities for a company that produces soft drink bottles and juice bottles (in thousands of units per week): Production alternatives production type A B C D E F Set of 8 soft drink bottles 0 4 10 15 19 22 12 juice box 58 56 48 32 16 0 Plot this data on a graph. What specific assumptions are represented by this production possibilities curve? If a firm is at point C, what is the opportunity cost of an additional set of soft drinks? From an extra juice box? If the company characterized in this table produced 7 sets of 8 bottles of soda and 40 cases of 12 juices, what could be concluded about the use of available resources? Is production currently possible at a point outside the production possibilities curve? Explain your answer.

Hariri Shuttles (HS) makes two types of shuttles (for looms), type A and type B. The demand for equations for HS shuttles are 9A [Select] = ¶B where PÅ and pÅ are the prices set by HS for type A and type B shuttles, respectively, and 9₁ and q are the corresponding weekly demands for these goods. HS's weekly production cost is c = 30qA+40qB + 1000.
