Suppose you and a friend are stranded on an island and must gather firewood and catch fish to survive. Through experience, you know that if each of you spends an entire day on either activity, the result is given in the following table: You Your Friend Fish 7 8 Firewood 6 bundles 3 bundles You and your friend decide that you should each specialize so that one person catches fish while the other gathers firewood. But who should do which task? a. What is the opportunity cost for you to gather an additional bundle of firewood? fish. The opportunity cost for you to gather an additional bundle of firewood is (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is your friend's opportunity cost of gathering an extra bundle of firewood? Your friend's opportunity cost of gathering an extra bundle of firewood is fish. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) b. Assuming that you and your friend specialize, what allocation of tasks maximizes total output for your one day of joint effort? To…
Suppose that a study of changes in admission prices reveals that when the price of admissionto the museum increases by 10%, adults reduce their ticket purchases by 10%, senior citizensreduce their ticket purchases by 20%, college students reduce their ticket purchases by 25%,and children reduce their ticket purchases by 30%. If the cost of having a person visit themuseum is the same regardless of whether the person is an adult, senior citizen, collegestudent, or child, which of the following pricing schemes is the most likely to be used by themuseum and why? Group of answer choices The museum will set one price of $12 for everyone because that is the most fair. $8 for children, $10 for college students, $12 for senior citizens, and $15 for adultsbecause the museum can earn higher profits by charging the lowest price to those with theleast elastic demand and the highest price to those with the most elastic demand. $15 for children, $12 for college students, $10 for senior citizens,…

Olivia and Helen produce shirts and ties. The figure shows their PPF s . A graph with ties on the x-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments and shirts on the y-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments. There is a downward-sloping line labeled PPF subscript Helen. The line starts at the y-intercept of 25 shirts and ends at the x-intercept of 15 ties. There is another downward-sloping line labeled PPF subscript Olivia. The line starts at the y-intercept of 15 shirts and ends at the x-intercept of 20 ties. These two lines intersect at a point corresponding to 6.8 shirts and 10.9 ties.051015202530051015202530TiesShirts PPF Subscript OliviaPPFOlivia PPF Subscript HelenPPFHelen A graph with ties on the x-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments and shirts on the y-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments.
