a) Consider a couple whose behaviour follows the unitary household model. Their preferences can be represented by the utility function: U(CM; CH) = min (CM, CH), where CM, denotes market goods and CH denotes home production. Each spouse can work up to 50 hours per week, and those 50 hours can be divided between market work and home production. Joe and Anna are each paid £20 per hour for market work. Joe produces £20 of home production per hour, while Anna produces £30 per hour of home production. How many hours are each of the spouses allocating to home production and market work? b) Suppose that Anna is offered a pay raise, so that her hourly market wage increases to £25, and nothing else changes. Will that change the identity of the spouse who works more hours on the market? Explain your answer. [Hint there is no need to calculate the full solution to this case]
Suppose that Ciana is deciding whether or not to buy a pair of sneakers that she has been researching online, and also the best place to make her purchase. Three different stores in the area sell the sneakers she likes, but some stores are more convenient for Ciana to reach than others. One option is her local shoe store located only 15 minutes away from where she works, where they charge a marked-up price of $124 for the sneakers: Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Sneakers (Minutes) (Dollars per sneakers) Local Shoe Store 15 124 Different Neighborhood in Town 30 103 Rural Outlet 60 70 Ciana earns an hourly wage of $30 at her job. In order to purchase her sneakers she will have to take time off work, so each hour away from her job costs her $30 in lost income. Assume that Ciana’s travel time is the same each way (to and from the store) and that it will take her 30 minutes once she reaches a store to complete her shopping. Assume throughout the question…

Suppose farmers in a given market can either grow soy beans or corn on their land. In addition, suppose an increase in the demand for corn causes the price of corn to increase. All else equal, an increase in the price of corn creates an incentive for farmers to: Multiple Choice switch away from growing corn and into growing soy beans. switch away from growing soy beans and into growing corn grow less corn, but not change their production of soy beans. grow more corn, but not change their production of soy beans.

True false question. Can it be efficient for one trader to consume all units of the goods while the other trader consumes nothing? In other words, does this point lie on the contract curve?

In one hour, Bill can paint 5 walls, or install 5 outlets In order to maximize their work per hour, (Click to select) should just paint walls, and (Click to select) ♥ should just install outlets
Matt and Lin are two producers and consumers for lamps and beds. Each of them works 40 hours in a week. Hours required for Matt to produce one unit of lamps or beds are 1 hours or 10 hours, respectively. Hours required for Lin to produce one unit of lamps or beds are 2 hours or 8 hours, respectively. Assuming their PPFs are straight lines. Calculate the correct options that complete the following statements on Matt's PPF. A) If Matt produces only lamps, they can produce ? unit(s) of lamps. If Matt produces only beds, they can produce ? unit(s) of beds B) Calculate the correct options that complete the following statements on Lin's PPF. If Lin produces only lamps, they can produce unit(s) of lamps. If Lin produces only beds, they can produce unit(s) of beds. C) What is the marginal opportunity cost of producing an extra unit of lamps for Matt? An extra unit of lamps costs unit(s) of beds. D) What is the marginal opportunity cost of producing an extra unit of lamps for Lin?…
Assume an economy producing only two goods (shoes and computers) with a fixed amount of productive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum.Production in this economy is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns and resourcesare assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers andvice versa is 1. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, answer the following questions: Assume now that the sacrifice ratio is greater than 1, show what will happen to the shape of the production possibility frontier.
Consider an economy where all production and all consumption is carried out by a single agent, Robinson Crusoe. Robinson, as a consumer, is endowed with H hours of time. His utility depends in hours of leisure, h, and coconuts, y: u(h, y) = (h)1−βyβ with 0 ≤ h ≤ H,β ∈ (0,1). Robinson, as a firm, can transform hours of labor, z, into coconuts y. His technology of production is given by y = f(z) = zα with α ∈ (0, 1). Let p denote the price of coconuts, w denote the price of leisure/labor, and π denote the firm’s profits. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is py ≤ w(H − h) + π. Note that the budget constraint of Robinson is px ≤ w(H − h) + π, and that in equilibrium in the market of coconuts x = y and in the labor market h + z = H. Find the equilibrium allocation and price vector in equilibrium.
Alice and Bob each produce haircuts and landscaping services. Alice can provide 4 haircuts in one hour. Bob can provide 2 haircuts in one hour. It takes Alice 2 hours to landscape an acre of property. It takes Bob 1 hour to landscape an acre of property. Assume Alice and Bob both work a standard 8 hour day. If Alice and Bob were to combine forces and open their business "Heads and Hedges" together, how should Alice and Bob allocate their time to maximize the gains from trade with one another? (check all that apply) Alice should only spend her time cutting hair. Bob should only spend his time cutting hair. Bob should only spend his time landscaping. Alice should only spend her time landscaping.
A company that produces brass hardware for doors has the ability to produce up to 6,500 hinges per week but then is unable to produce doorknobs. Or it can produce up to 650 doorknobs per week but then is unable to produce any hinges. In the graph below, use the straight-line tool to draw the company's production possibilities frontier, where the quantities are per week (do not use the point tool to plot endpoints). Then use the point tool to plot a point to indicate the company's maximum output where it is producing exactly three times as many hinges as doorknobs.
