Spot the economics in the following cases by identifying the concept described within the scenario and then briefly articulating your answers When parking violations in San Francisco were $100, there were 250,000 tickets given out. When violations went up to $175 there were 200,000 violations given. Ford produces trucks and loses ⅓ of a sedan for each truck produced.

During the WW2, Germany's factories were decimated. It also suffered many human casualties, both soldiers and civilians. How did the war affect Germany's production possiblilities curve?
The marginal product of effort, a typical worker in fast-food burger joint, is one- fourth burgers per hour; that is, MPe = .25The price of a burger is $2. The figure graphs Mac’s marginal cost of effort. If Mac increases his effort by one unit per hour, the change in the burger joint’s revenue is $ per hour. That is, what is VMPe , the value of Mac ‘s marginal product of effort ? Plot the VMPe curve in the figure. Mac efficient effort e^ is the solution to what equation? Illustrate the solution in the figure. Mac efficient…
At Yennefer's current production level, a extra bunch of herbs adds 19 extra spells. Each bunch ofherbs costs $54. What is Yennefer's Marginal Cost of an extra spell?
The prairie dog has always been considered a problem for Canadian cattle ranchers. They dig holes that cattle and horses can step in, and they eat grass necessary for cattle. Recently, ranchers have discovered that there is a demand for prairie dogs as pets. In some areas, prairie dogs can sell for as high as $150. Cattlemen are now fencing off prairie dog towns on their land so these towns will not be disturbed by their cattle. Draw a production possibilities frontier demonstrating a rancher’s production option between cattle production and prairie dog production, showing increasing opportunity cost and what would happen in each of the following situations (using a separate graph for each situation). The government grants new leases to ranchers, giving them 10,000 new hectares of grassland each for grazing. A drought destroys most of the available grass for grazing of cattle, but not prairie dogs since they also eat plant roots.
Suppose that the demand for loanable funds for car loans in the Milwaukee area is $12 million per month at an interest rate of 10 percent per year, $13 million at an interest rate of 9 percent per year, $14 million at an interest rate of 8 percent per year, and so on. If the supply of loanable funds is fixed at $16 million, what will be the equilibrium interest rate? Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. * percent per year
The table provides information about the production function for Lindsay's Farm, which uses labor and land to produce its produce. The price of labor is $50 per worker per week and the price of land is $20 per acre.

Eva runs a small bakery in the village of Roggerli. She is debating whether she should extend her hours of operation. Eva figures that her sales revenue will depend on the number of additional hours the bakery is open as shown in the table above. She would have to hire a worker for those hours at a wage rate of $12 per hour. Refer to Table 1-1. Using marginal analysis, how many hours should Eva extend her bakery's hours of operations? 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours
Refer to the production possibility frontiers for two friends Frodo and Sam who can both produce Ice creams and Jelly beans. Frodo's maximum production of Ice creams is 500 with no Jelly beans, or 2,000 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. Sam's maximum production of Ice creams is 600 with no Jelly beans, or 1,200 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. ICE CREAMS ICE CREAMS 600 500 1200 JELLY BEANS 2000 JELLY BEANS Frodo' PPF Sam's PPF Answer briefly these TWO questions in the box space provided below. Part A: Assuming efficient production without trade, derive the maximum amount of Jelly beans that can be produced by Sam along with 300 Ice creams. Describe your steps in detail. Part B: Assume that Frodo and Sam agree to specialize in production and trade between themselves. Frodo offers 1,000 Jelly beans to Sam in exchange for 300 lce creams. Would Sam agree to this trade?
Suppose a fisherman owns a fish farm that has a boat and only one worker (the fisherman himself)Currentlyfish are captured and sold in the every dayEventually the to an additional worker so that he can dedicate all his time to capturing the fish, and the can sell the fish per day With the additional worker, the total of the farm is 200 The marginal returns of the second worker is The fisherman now decides to add one more workerWith the two workers capturing and the one worker , output the fish 300 dayThe marginal returns of the third worker per day
