From an economic perspective, the company should keep the hamburger on the menu because they've spent so much money and time developing and promoting the product. spend more money to develop a more efficient way to cook the hamburger so it cooks in a shorter time. pull the hamburger off the menu and treat the development and promotion expenditures as a sunk cost. keep trying to sell the hamburger so that people who developed and promote it have a job with the company.
(From last year’s final exam) Using an Edgeworth box, draw the following scenario. Amanda and Genevieve are in a 2-person closed economy where they only consume 2 goods: cheese and oranges. Amanda initially has 10 circles of cheese and 2 oranges and Genevieve initially has 12 oranges and 1 circle of cheese. Genevieve is tired of oranges and would like more cheese. Likewise, Amanda has eaten too much cheese in the past and would prefer more oranges. Assume that they engage in a series of trades and in the end settle on the following deal: Amanda gives Genevieve 4 circles of cheese in exchange for 6 oranges. Make sure to indicate on your graph: i. all of the axes, ii. indifference curves at the initial endowment (assume usual, well-behaved, convex indifference curves), iii. and indifference curves at the final bundle that emerged as an equilibrium through trade.
