A restaurant hires cooks and walters. Cooks earn $10 an hour; waiters eam $5 an hour. The manager, who wants to maximize the number of meals served given a fixed payroll of $45 per hour, expects the following from cooks and walters: Total number of meals served Number of employees Cooks Waiters 1 200 120 2 380 230 3 540 310 660 360 740 390 Given the above information, at the optimal choice, the last dollar spent on hiring waiters yielded 00000 6 additional meals. 16 additional meals. 80 additional meals. 60 additional meals. none of the above

Twentyfirst Century Electronics has discovered a theft problem at its warehouse and hasd decided to hire security guards. The firm wants to hire the optimal number of security guards. The following table shows how the number of security guards affects the number of radios stolen per week. Number of Guards O 1 2 345 Number of Radios Stolen per week 50 30 20 14 8 6 a) If each security guard is paid $200 a week and the cost of a stolen radio is $25, how many security guards should the firm hire? b) If the cost of a stolen radio is $25, what is the most the firm would be willing to pay to hire the first secuirty guard? c) If each security guard is paid $200 a week and the cost of a stolen radio is $50, how many security guards should the firm hire?

what is the marginal rate of substitution when the price of coffee is $1.00 per ounce? the prof said the answer is -2.

Monique has a flock of six chickens in her backyard that she initially bought for $6 each. Theflock currently lays 20 eggs per week, which Monique and her family consume at home, andher current cost of feed is $2 per week. Monique has a job that pays $8/hour with flexiblehours, but she is thinking of selling her chickens’ eggs to earn extra income. To start sellingeggs, she would need to increase production to 30 eggs per week. She can do this by increasingthe chickens’ feed to $3 per week and taking an hour off work each week to devote to chickenrearing. If the market price of her farm-fresh eggs is $1 per egg, what would be Monique’sweekly economic profits from selling her chickens’ eggs? (Select one from below) (a) −$9: This is her revenue minus her accounting cost.(b) −$1: This is her revenue minus her production cost.(c) $0: Eggs are a constant-cost market so producers must earn 0 profits.(d) $1: This is her revenue minus her economic cost.(e) $7: This is her revenue minus her…

Firzaowns 3 iced milk coffee bottlesand 9 toasted bread while Razi owns 8 iced milk coffee bottles and 4 toasted bread. Given this resources, marginal rate of substitution (MRS) toasted bread and milk coffee for Firza and Razi is 4 and 2, respectively. DrawEdgeworth box diagram and explain whether the resource allocation between Firza and Razi is efficient. If this allocation is inefficient, explain what should Firza and Razi substitute to obtain higher utility?
