3 2. A decision at the margin Jake is a hard-working college sophomore. One Tuesday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 110 practice problems for his economics course. He starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of his progress throughout the day. He notices that as he gets tired, it takes him longer to solve each problem. Time Total Problems Answered 8:00 AM 0 9:00 AM 50 10:00 AM 80 11:00 AM 100 Noon 110 Use the table to answer the following questions. The marginal, or additional, gain from Jake’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is problems. The marginal gain from Jake’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is problems. Later, the teaching assistant for Jake’s economics course gives him some advice. “Based on past experience,” the teaching assistant says, “working on 25 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour.” For…

To calculate total utility of a given combination of T-shirts and movies, one would use the following approach: O a. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, survey a group of individuals to determine an average for utils to be assigned to the number of T-shirts and movies. O b. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, use Google to identify the number of utils associated with the number of T-shirts and movies and thenlum them. O c. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, assign a number of utils to that combination. O d. Use utils as a measure of utility, assigning a…

9. Behavioral economics Indicate whether each of the following examples of behavior is consistent with the way the traditional economic framework suggests people should act, or if it is reserved for behavioral economists to examine. Example Some people would be willing to pay money to lower the incomes of others. Some people treat $60 they earn differently from $60 they win in a random drawing. Some people sacrifice disposable income to help their children pay for college. Some people would turn down a new, higher-paying job if it meant spending less time with their family. Consistent with the Predictions of Traditional Economic Models Reserved for Behavioral Economics
Sven runs a daycare for some of the neighborhood children, where he earns $300/day inrevenue. He runs the daycare out of his home, for which the mortgage costs $3,000 per month($100 per day). Each day, Sven spends $50 on food, diapers, and other supplies. He also hassome toys and playground equipment that originally cost $500, but which he wouldn’t getany money for reselling today. Sven looks after all the children himself, so he doesn’t pay anymoney in labor costs. If he weren’t busy with the daycare, he could earn $120 per day as aprivate nanny. What is Sven’s daily economic profit from the daycare? (Select one from below) (a) $300: Economic profit is equal to revenue.(b) $180: That is his revenue minus opportunity cost.(c) $150: That is his revenue minus input cost.(d) $130: That is his revenue minus variable cost.(e) $50: That is his revenue minus accounting cost.(f) $30: That is his revenue minus economic cost.(g) $0: In the long run, all firms must make zero profits.(h) –$200:…
