(It really is a fantastic apple!) I have a feeling you guys may not love this assignment either but try to think carefully about these things. It's harder than it looks. I'm not gonna grade your answers for their length so try to keep them to the point. If you don't know the answer to something, don't write a long rambling paragraph full of econ-sounding words hoping I will give you partial credit. I won't. Just skip it (or better yet, think about it until you DO know the answer....) 1. The article poses the question: "So why do farmers put up with the hassle?" And then answers it: "They simply don’t have a choice. The demand for this one apple exceeds supply—it’s all consumers, and therefore supermarkets, want." Do growers, in fact, have a choice here?

- Typed plz and asap thanks Wring answer not accepted I already got one answer wrongarrow_forwardHighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?arrow_forwardWhat is die difference between accounting and economic profit?arrow_forward
