### Table 2-1Referring to Table 2-1: A student has only a few hours to prepare for two different exams this afternoon. The above table shows alternative possible exam scores with three alternative uses of the student's time. The opportunity cost of scoring a 94 on the economics exam rather than a 77 is:- 15 points on the history exam- 8 points on the history exam- 14 points on the history exam- 17 points on the history exam### Explanation of Table 2-1The table comprises three columns:1. **Possibility A:** Lists three different scenarios under which the student could allocate their preparation time.2. **Economics:** Shows the possible exam scores in Economics for each scenario.3. **History:** Displays the possible exam scores in History for each scenario.#### Scenarios- **Possibility I:** - Economics: 94 - History: 76- **Possibility II:** - Economics: 87 - History: 84- **Possibility III:** - Economics: 77 - History: 91#### Calculation of Opportunity CostThe opportunity cost of scoring a 94 in the economics exam, compared to scoring 77, can be calculated by comparing the scores in the History column between the corresponding scenarios:- Possibility I (94 in Economics) paired with Possibility III (77 in Economics) shows a difference in History scores of:- 76 (History score in Possibility I) versus 91 (History score in Possibility III) which is a difference of 15 points in History.Therefore, the correct answer is "15 points on the history exam".

The potential benefit or value that is forgone when choosing one alternative over another is termed…

Two neighboring island nations, Seychelles and Mauritius, produce iPad's, coffee, or a combination of both. Suppose that they each have 4 million labor hours available per week for production. The following table gives the amount of each product that can be produced using one hour of labor: Country Mauritius Seychelles Mauritius' opportunity cost of produing 1 iPad is iPads (per hour of labor) 12 of coffee. Therefore, 8 Initially, suppose Mauritius uses 1 million hours per week to produce iPads and 3 million hours per week to produce coffee, while Seycheles uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce iPads and 1 million hours per week to produce coffee. Consequently, Mauritius produces 12 million iPads and 72 million pounds of coffee, and Seychelles produces 24 million iPads and 32 million pounds of coffee. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade with them. So, if Mauritius and Seychelles don't trade with each other, they can only consume what they can produce using…

Suppose Kevin is currently using combination D, producing one train per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second train per day is_____per day. Now, suppose Kevin is currently using combination C, producing two trains per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third train per day is_____per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Kevin increases his production of trains, his opportunity cost of producing one more train_____. Suppose Kevin buys a new tool that enables him to produce twice as many trains per hour as before, but it doesn't affect his ability to produce kites. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his new PPF on the previous graph. Because he can now make more trains per hour, Kevin's opportunity cost of producing kites is_______it was previously.
QUESTION 2 After receiving an impressive commendation following a project, Ash realised the key to her inspiration and success was eating goji berries before starting her work. Ash can buy any number of kilograms of berries for $20 per kilogram. Ash gains a total benefit of $50 from consuming 2 kilograms of berries, and a total benefit of $65 from consuming 3 kilograms of berries. Which of the following statement(s) are true: There is insufficient information to determine the marginal cost of the third kilogram of berries. The average benefit of consuming the third kilogram of berries is $15. Ash should buy the third kilogram of berries because the marginal cost is less than the marginal benefit. The marginal benefit of consuming the third kilogram of berries is $15.
