A company that produces brass hardware for doors has the ability to produce up to 6,500 hinges per week but then is unable to produce doorknobs. Or it can produce up to 650 doorknobs per week but then is unable to produce any hinges. In the graph below, use the straight-line tool to draw the company's production possibilities frontier, where the quantities are per week (do not use the point tool to plot endpoints). Then use the point tool to plot a point to indicate the company's maximum output where it is producing exactly three times as many hinges as doorknobs.

Vasya can photocopy 10 pages from a book or type 2 pages of handwritten text in 10 minutes. Petya can photocopy 40 pages from a book or type 3 pages of handwritten text in 10 minutes. Suppose also that both tasks are equally enjoyable to both of them. Given the information, if Vasya takes a course and learns how to type 3 pages in 10 minutes and can still photocopy 10 pages in 10 minutes, then: Petya will photocopy 5 pages and type 1 page, and Vasya will photocopy 20 pages and type 2 pages. Vasya will photocopy 5 pages and type 1 page, and Petya will photocopy 20 pages and type 2 pages. (c) They will not know what to do since not enough information is provided. (D) Petya will do all the typing and Vasya will do all of the photocopying. (E) Petya will do all the photocopying and Vasya will do all the typing.
Mika earns $232 per week which she spends entirely at the grocery store, purchasing either food or alcohol. The price of food is $1/unit, while the price of alcohol is $3/unit. If Mika receives an additional $75/week in food stamps that can only be only be used to buy food at the grocery store (so, this money could be used to buy food but NOT alcohol), what is the vertical coordinate of the vertical intercept of Mika's budget constraint if she were to graph quantity of food on the horizontal axis and quantity of alcohol on the vertical axis? (Note: The answer may not be a whole number, so round to the nearest hundredth) (Note: The numbers may change between questions, so read carefully).
John is trying to decide how to divide his time between his job as a stocker in the local grocery store, which pays $7/hr for as many hours as he chooses to work, and cleaning windows for the businesses in downtown. He makes $2 for every window he cleans. John is indifferent between the two tasks, and the number of windows he can clean depends on how many hours he cleans a day, as shown in the table below: Cleaning time (hr/day) Total numbers of windows cleaned 0 0 1 7 2345 11 14 16 17 What is John's per-window reservation price to justify the 4th and 5th hours of cleaning windows? A. $7 and $7.5 respectively B. $2 and $3.5 respectively C. $3.5 and $7 respectively D. $11 and $14 respectively

Question 30 Link and Zelda each have 12 hours a week they can spend making costumes and accessories for their cosplay group. Link has been doing this for years and can make a costume piece in 2 hours and an accessory item in 1 hour. Zelda is still learning and can make a costume piece in 3 hours and an accessory item in 2 hours. The opportunity cost of 1 costume piece for Link in terms of accessory items (i.e. accessory items per costume piece):
Stan Moneymaker needs 15 gallons of gasoline to top off his automobile’s gas tank. If he drives an extra eight miles (round trip) to a gas station on the outskirts of town, Stan can save $0.10 per gallon on the price of gasoline. Suppose gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon and Stan’s car gets 25 mpg for in-town driving. Should Stan make the trip to get less expensive gasoline? Each mile that Stan drives creates one pound of carbon dioxide. Each pound of CO2 has a cost impact of $0.02 on the environment. What other factors (cost and otherwise) should Stan consider in his decision making?
Maria can purchase shirts for $22.00 each. She considers the benefit of one shirt to be $40.00, but with each additional shirt she purchases the benefit decreases by $5. According to the Principle of Optimization at the Margin, Maria will purchase... shirts. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Scott and Cindy both produce only pizza and tacos. In one hour, Cindy can produce 20 pizzas or 40 tacos. In one hour, Scott can produce 40 pizzas or 50 tacos. Based on this information, the person specializing in the production of tacos is willing to sell 10 tacos in return for at least pizzas and the other person is willing to pay no more than pizzas for the 10 tacos. Enter numerical values, rounding to two decimal places, and do not enter fractions. For example, enter 23.00 or 43.12.
For the annual school bazaar, Emmy can produce and sell either origami frogs (F) or birds (B). For his origami he needs to work with sheets of paper, glue, and paper clips. Below table shows how many units of each input factor is needed to produce one origami. It also shows the total amount of input units available. Emmy’s profits per origami bird and frog are =1 and =2, respectively. 1:Which formula describes the sheets of paper constraint? a F <= 5 b F <= 6-2/3B c B <= 5 d F <=7-1B 2: Which formula describes the glue constraint? a F <=7-1B b F <= 5 c B <= 5 d F <= 6-2/3B 3: Which formula describes the paper clips constraint? a B <= 5 b F <=7-1B c F <= 6-2/3B d F <= 5 4: The iso-profit line has a slope of negative a…
You and your friend Olivia are both volunteers at a cat rescue. The shelter supervisor asks the two of you to clean out kennels and haul bags of cat food from the donation area to storage. You know from your last time volunteering that you can clean out 10 kennels in an hour or move 5 bags of cat food, Olivia can clean out 6 kennels in an hour or move 6 bags of cat food.Olivia suggests that you split the tasks equally. Answer the following questions to determine if Olivia is making the best decision.a) Who has the absolute advantage in doing each task? b) What are Olivia’s opportunity costs of doing each task? (show your calculations). c) What are your opportunity costs of doing each task? (show your calculations). d) Who has the comparative advantage in doing each task?
