The accompanying table shows the relationship between the speed of a computer's CPU and its benefits and costs. Assume that all other features of the computer are the same (that is, CPU speed is the only source of variation), and only the CPU speeds listed in the table are available for purchase. CPU Total Marginal Total Marginal GHz Benefit Benefit Cost Costs 2.0 $1,000 $900 2.5 $1,400 $ 100 3.0 $300 $1,200 3.5 $1,900 $ 1,500 4.0 $2,000 $ 400 The marginal cost of upgrading from a 2.5GHz to 3.0GHz computer is O $400. O $300. $200. O $100.
Suppose you work for United Airlines. You have been assigned to conduct a cost-benefit analysis for United Airlines on the question of whether or not United should offer service from Lynchburg Regional Airport to Washington Dulles International Airport (DC-Northern Virginia area). Stopping short of doing any actual calculations, discuss what would be involved in doing this analysis for United. (Even though you don’t have to do the actual calculations, you should be specific as to how you would do the calculations and obtain the necessary inputs.)
“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?]

"Most of the literature on Islamic economics dealing with consumer behavior at microeconomic level focuses on free market setting with some additional assumptions from the Islamic primary sources (e.g., Hamdani et el 2004; Yasin and Zafar 2016; Amin et el 2014; Ghassan 2016; Dilek, et el 2018). A common assumption made by Islamic economists is that the consumer would follow the Islamic injunctions in an ideal Islamic economy. In doing so, they extend the definition of rationality and include in it moral, spiritual, and social perspectives ( e.g., Adam et el 2018; Furqani 2017; Al-Aaidroos et el 2016; Ghassan 2015, 2016; Fahim Khan 2013, 2014; Bendjilali 1993; Naqvi 1981; Kahf 1980, and Zarqa 1980). Their objective is to show how a rational consumer will behave if he or she follows the Islamic teachings. In general, Islamic economists accept the analysis of mainstream economics to the extent it does not conflict with the Islamic teachings. (e.g. Yasin and Zafar 2016;…
