3. Let Robinson Crusoe's Production Possibility curve be given by the equation: ƒ²/2 + g = 150 where f is the amount of fish and g is the amount of grain he can obtain. (think of g as plotted on the vertical axis and f as plotted on the horizontal axis). Robinson's marginal rate of substitution in consumption is MRSc = 9/f. (a) Find Robinson's production-consumption optimum R*. (b) If Robinson is discovered by a world market in which Pf = 5, and Pg = 1, determine his productive optimum Q* and consumption optimum C. (Graph the results).
In terms of our shift variables of demand and supply, how are each of the following pairs related? Which side of the market for the second good (supply or demand) is affected by the change in the price of the first good. a. wheat and breadb. butter and breadc. peanuts and peanut butter
1. The economy's income and expenditure The following diagram presents a circular-flow model of a simple economy. The outer set of arrows (shown in green) shows the flow of dollars, and the inner set of arrows (shown in red) shows the corresponding flow of inputs and outputs. Firms Markets for Goods and Services Markets for Factors of Production Based on this model, households earn income when Households purchase in markets for factors of production. Suppose Megan earns $575 per week working as a flight attendant for Flyaway Airlines, She uses $9 to order a mojito cocktail at Little Havana. Little
Suppose the economy has 100 units of labor (L) and 100 units of capital (K), and it chooses to allocate three times more labor and capital in the production of good X than in good Y. Suppose also that the production of goods X and Y are represented by the following functions: X = Lx0.25Kx0.25 Y = 2LY0.25KY0.25 Compute for Lx, Ly, Kx and Ky Calculate the MRTSLK of each firm Is this allocation efficient? How so? How many units of X and Y will be produced?
In 2002, a meeting is hold in a state-owned farm with one million mu of arable land—B farm after the harvest: Production department section Li said: This year we planted 0.6 million Mu (a unit of area, 1 Mu=0.0667 hectares) wheat, and got 280 kilograms’ wheat per Mu. But after this year's harvest, a new difficulty arises that price of wheat is decreasing now. Usually, the farm will keep 10 million kilograms as seeds and 18 million kilograms for living, and sell the rest to the market. If the firm doesn't sell and keeps the wheat in a long term, the weight of the wheat will decline for the moisture loss from 14% to 13%, which means the farm will loss 1.4 million kilograms. The manager of the supply and marketing, Mr. Liu said: Last year, the price of wheat is 0.96 yuan per kilogram, but now is only 0.80 yuan per kilogram. This causes a big loss to our farm this year. Therefore, we can't sell now! The manager of grain, Mr. Lin said: We have to sell. We predict that the low wheat price…

When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Freedonia and Desonia. Both countries produce grain and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 6 million pounds of grain and 3 million pounds of tea, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

Question 6 Listen Efficient resource allocation should be accomplished when any production of a product shows the marginal benefit outweighs marginal cost of its output. 1) True 2) False Question 7 ) Listen If we say that two variables are inversely related, this means that an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other. 1) True 2) False Question 8 ) Listen Consider the problem Amy faces of how to allocate her weekly allowance between books and videos. An increase in Amy's allowance will a) shift her budget line to the right b) rotate her budget line, allowing her to buy more videos but not more books c) rotate her budget line, allowing her to buy more books but not more videos O d) shift her budget line to the left
