Chapter 9, Problem 2TY

Before the Civil War, the South traded with the North and with England. The South sold cotton and bought manufactured goods and food. During the war, one of President Lincoln's first actions was a blockade of the ports in the South to prevent this trade. The South had to increase its production of munitions and food. Draw a point to show the South's production point prior to the Civil War. Label it 1. Draw a point to show the South's consumption point prior to the Civil War. Label it 2. During the war, the South's factors of production were severely depleted and its production possibilities decreased. Draw a curve that shows the effects of the Civil War on the South's PPF. Label it PPF₁. Draw a point to show the South's production point during the Civil War. Label it 3. During the war, the South did not engage in trade. Draw a point to show the South's consumption point during the Civil War. Label it 4. 100 80- 60- Other goods and services (units) ☑ 40- 20- 200 400 600 PPF 800 1000…

Suppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $10, the second by $9, the third by $8, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $1. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $3.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and total…

Planes frequently push back from the gate on time, but then wait 2 feet away from the gate until it is time to queue up for takeoff. This increases fuel consumption and increases the time that passengers must sit in a cramped plane awaiting takeoff. The following table shows the pay schedule for the flight crew. Pay Per diem Holding pay per hour Flight Attendant Captain First Officer $3 $3 $3 $20 $20 $20 Hourly wage (after push back) $38 $184 $50 Per diem pay indicates how much the flight crew earns once it checks into the airport. Holding pay indicates how much the flight crew earns after it loads the plane. Hourly wage indicates how much the flight crew earns after it pushes back from the gate and turns on the beacon. In this scenario, who does not have an incentive to push back from the gate as early as possible? Check all that apply. Captain Flight attendants Passengers First officer True or False: Allowing the airline to decide when to push back from the gate would reduce…

This Wendy’s commercial confuses the notions of appreciation and consumer surplus. Recall that consumer surplus is the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay for a good and what they actually pay for it. According to standard economic theory, consumer surplus must always be

In economics, the cost of producing a good:   Question 6 options:   is the maximum value of other goods that could have been produced using the same resources.   equals the out-of-pocket costs incurred in producing the good.   is the value of inputs used up in production.   is the value of other goods that could have been produced using the same resources.

Please correct answer and don't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solution

Gates Doubles Down on Malaria Eradication    The End Malaria​ Council, convened by Bill Gates and Ray​ Chambers, seeks to mobilize resources to prevent and treat malaria. The current level of financing is too low to end malaria. Bruno​ Moonen, deputy director for malaria at the Gates​ Foundation, says that more​ resources, more​ leadership, and new technologies are needed to eradicate malaria in the current generation.   Is Bruno Moonen talking about production efficiency or allocative efficiency or​ both?   Bruno Moonen is talking about​ _______.       A. production efficiency but not allocative efficiency   B. production efficiency and allocative efficiency   C. allocative efficiency but not production efficiency   D. neither production efficiency nor allocative efficiency

What challenges do medical facilities face when trying to become more culturally competent? What kinds of assumptions do providers sometimes make about people from other cultures? What factors may cause providers to relate to patients in a biased manner? What can healthcare organizations do to ensure cultural competence among their employees?
