1. Kim owns a Porsche and a Toyota. The Porsche has a fuel economy of 15 miles per gallon (mpg) and she plans to drive it 3,000 miles this year. The Toyota gets 30 miles per gallon and she plans to drive it 15,000 miles this year. Suppose Kim can install a device that improves the fuel economy of any vehicle by 5 miles per gallon. However, she only has one of the devices. Which vehicle should she install it on if her goal is to minimize fuel consumption this year? Assume that the device does not hamper vehicle performance in any way.

“How to allocate limited resources to their best use is the very first and fundamental principle that you guys learn in a first course in both economics and finance.” Explain how the concepts and techniques covered in the various topics in this course can help address the issue. [Hint: Think about how NPV, as an investment decision rule, addresses the efficient allocation of limited resources problem. Specifically, why an investment project being “profit-making” may still be value- destroying and result in misallocation of resources?]
What is the set of techniques in the making of decisions, which compares the costs and benefits, but looks at them subjectively and does NOT translate all concerns into market (dollar) terms? O Cost-Benefit Analysis O Cost-Effective Analysis O Co-Payment O Just ask your economics professor.
1.Use the marginal analysis technique to determine the quantity of organic coconut oil that will maximize net benefits. Present results in table form and highlight the maximizinglevel. 2. Graphically illustrate letter B. Separate the graphs for TB – TC approach, MB = MC rule, and net benefit (maximum). The sequence of the graph: (1) TB – TC approach (topmost graph); (2) net benefit (middle graph); and (3) MB, MC, & MNB (last, 3rd graph). But be sure that the graphs are parallel in X-axis so as to be consistent in the results. (Label your graphs accordingly and appropriately.)
