Suppose there are two individuals, Casey and Rick, who live in a very simplified world where only two goods are produced and consumed; rice and beans. The production opportunity cost for Casey is 4.00kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Rick has a production opportunity cost of 2.00 kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Casey eventually realizes that, through trade, both individuals can be better off. Rick is willing to trade. What price can be settled between these two parties such that both individuals can enjoy more rice and beans?

Suppose you have a choice to go to a Katy Perry concert or a Lady Gaga concert on Friday night. You won a free
ticket to see Katy Perry. You would pay as much as $160.00 to see Lady Gaga perform, but a ticket to her show
costs $140.00. Suppose a friend offers you $65.00 for the Katy Perry ticket.
The opportunity cost of going to the Katy Perry concert is $

- Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. Suppose that at your university, you will pay $15,000 each year for tuition, $3,000 each year for textbooks, and $8,000 per year for room and board. Before you left for college, your boss at your high-school job offered you a job paying $15,000 per year.Assume that if you decided not to go to college, your parents would not let you live at home.What is your opportunity cost for four years of college? $____arrow_forwardAna and Ivan each individually and simultaneously decide whether to spend the evening at a play or a concert. Ana prefers to attend the concert twice as much without Ivan than to attend the play without him, and she prefers this three times more than being in the same place with Ivan (and at that point, she doesn't care where they are). Ivan prefers being in the same place with Ana twice as much as being at the play without her, and he prefers this four times more than being without Ana at the concert. Both have von Neumann-Morgenstern (vNM) preferences. With what probability will Ivan choose to attend the concert in Nashe's equilibrium?arrow_forwardSuppose there are two individuals, Casey and Rick, who live in a very simplified world where only two goods are produced and consumed: rice and beans.

- Which of these situations describe an equilibrium, and which does not? If not, what would an equilibrium look like? Remember that the definition of equilibrium means, in part, that there is no incentive or push/pull to change from the current described state. Many people regularly commute from the suburbs to the downtown area of a local city. Due to traffic congestion, the trip takes 30 minutes when you travel by highway, and15 when you go by side streets. There are 2 gas stations at the intersection of Main and Vine. One charges $3.75 for regular and the other charges $3.25. Customers can get gas immediately at the first station, but must wait in long lines at the second. Every student who enrolls in econ principles must also attend a weekly tutorial.

It's now closed. USPS and UPS were the options I had during this period to ship out orders. Smaller or lighter packages were more expensive to ship with UPS, but USPS provided a low-cost alternative. UPS ships more than 220 internationally, whereas; USPS is strict about shipping to specific international destinations. I have chosen USPS over UPS; by doing this, orders were delivered on time and without damage by the United States Postal Service.”arrow_forward
- Julia and Ralph need to decide which one of them will take time off from work to complete the rather urgent task of pruning their trees. Julia is pretty good with a pole saw; she can prune the trees in 1 hour. Ralph is somewhat slow; it takes him 6 hours to prune the trees. Julia earns $120 per hour as a business consultant, while Ralph earns $15 per hour as a lifeguard.Keeping in mind that either Julia or Ralph must take time off from work to prune the trees, who has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task?arrow_forwardSuppose Colin's mom has decided to take him out to breakfast to celebrate his birthday. Colin is having a hard time deciding between breakfast combo #1 (3 pancakes and 2 scrambled eggs) and breakfast combo #2 (2 pancakes and 3 scrambled eggs) because they both sound equally good to him (and since his mom is paying for breakfast, he doesn't care about how much they cost). He ends up flipping a coin to decide which one to have. Which of following the statements are true? Select all that apply. Breakfast combo #1 and breakfast combo #2 are on the same indifference curve for Colin.Breakfast combo #1 and breakfast combo #2 are on the same indifference curve for Colin. Scrambled eggs and pancakes are perfect substitutes for Colin.Scrambled eggs and pancakes are perfect substitutes for Colin. If Colin gets breakfast combo #1 his willingness to give up scrambled eggs for pancakes is likely to be lower than if he had gotten breakfast combo #2.

Each has an army of 100 zombies and must decide how to allocate them to battle each of the other two players’ armies. Three simultaneous battles are occurring: one between Andy and Brad, one between Andy and Carly, and one between Brad and Carly. Let Ab denote how many zombie soldiers Andy allocates to his battle with Brad, with the remaining 100 - Ab soldiers in Andy’s zombie army assigned to the battle with Carly. Bc denotes the number of zombie soldiers that Brad allocates to his battle with Carly, and 100 - Bc zombies go to his battle with Andy. Ca is the the number of zombie soldiers that Carly allocates to the battle with Andy, and 100 - Ca in her battle with Brad. To see how payoffs are determined, consider Andy. If Ab > 100 - Bc, so that Andy has more zombies than Brad in the Andy-Brad battle, then Andy wins the battle and receives w points where w > 2. If Ab = 100 - Bc, so that Andy and Brad…arrow_forward
