Zoe is trying to decide how to divide her time between her job as a wedding photographer, which pays $25 per hour for as many hours as she chooses to work, and as a fossil collector, in which her pay depends on both the price of fossils and the number of fossils she finds. Earnings aside, Zoe is indifferent between the two tesks, and the number of fossils she can find depends on the number of hours a day she searches, as shown in the table below: a. Using this information, compute the lowest price that Zoe would accept per fossil in order to justify her spending more time collecting fossils and less time working as a wedding photographer Instructions: Complete the table below.

Prunella raises peaches where L is the number of units of labor she uses and T is the number of units of land she uses. Her output is f(L,T) = LT bushels of peaches. Currently, the cost of land is 8, the wage for labor is 9, and the price of peaches is 10. Prunella is currently maximizing her profits. Which occurences would cause the quantity of labor used to decrease? O An increase in the price of peaches O A increase in the price of labor O An increase in the Marginal Product of Labor O All of the above

Firzaowns 3 iced milk coffee bottlesand 9 toasted bread while Razi owns 8 iced milk coffee bottles and 4 toasted bread. Given this resources, marginal rate of substitution (MRS) toasted bread and milk coffee for Firza and Razi is 4 and 2, respectively. DrawEdgeworth box diagram and explain whether the resource allocation between Firza and Razi is efficient. If this allocation is inefficient, explain what should Firza and Razi substitute to obtain higher utility?
What is the best example of a marginal change? After graduating from university, Neville's income increases from $1000 per month to $1,100 per month. Jadelyn completes the six-month probationary period at her job and is now paid $11.25 per hour instead of $11.00. Housing prices in an area increase by 50% when a new freeway is built in a small town. O A hard freeze wipes out half of the potato crop in Prince Edward Island and the price of potatoes doubles.
Hannah’s wage rate is initially $10 per hour and she maximises her utility by supplying 8hours of work. Subsequently, her wage rate increases to $15 per hour and her newequilibrium position corresponds to 9 hours of work. It is noted that the income effect (IE)causes the labour supply to change by 1 hour and the substitution effect (SE) causes thelabour supply to change by 2 hours. How to draw in diagram, to show the IE and SE?
In today’s economy, it’s harder for workers to get promoted. In 2006, it took an averageof 2 ½ years to get a promotion; today it takes 4 ½ years. As a result, fewer workers are willingto boost their productivity in an effort to impress the boss and get the promotion. In 2006, 25percent of employees said they were willing to give “an extra oomph” at work (boost theirproductivity); today about 15 percent are willing to do so. Explain the connection to the Phillipscurve.
Suppose Anna is considering two job offers. She can choose to either work as a barista in a cafe or a coach in a gym. The cafe is only a six-minute walk from where she lives. The gym is 45 minutes away by bus (single trip) with a daily ticket price of $5. The cafe offers her 4 shift hours per day, five days per week and pays her $20 per hour. While working at the cafe Anna can also have three cups of free coffee each week. Alternatively, the gym offers her 4 shift hours per day, four days per week and pays her $30 per hour and she can enjoy 20% discount off the gym membership. If Anna will take one and only one of the jobs, the opportunity cost of taking the barista job is $_ leisure time, plus _ 480, +1 hour, three cups of coffee ' 460, +1 hour, 20% discount off membership 460, 0 hour, 20% discount off membership 480, -1 hour, three cups of coffee
