Specify and explain the typical shapes of marginal-benefifit and marginal-cost curves. How are these curves used to determine the optimal allocation of resources to a particular product? If current output is such that marginal cost exceeds marginal benefifit, should more or fewer resources be allocated to this product? Explain.
(a) Explain with the help of a graph the effect of an increase in the relative price of a labor-intensive good on input choice. (b) “Generally, an economy will tend to be relatively effective atproducing goods that are intensive in the factors with which the country is relatively wellendowed.” Explain the above statement with the help of a graph.

17. For a certain good the production function is given by the equation q = q²qc, where q is the produced output in units of 1000 and qL and qc are the number of units of labour and of capital invested in the production process. Assume that one unit of labour costs 10 units of money and one unit of capital costs 5 units of money. (a) Show on a graph which combinations (qL, qc) generate exactly 64 000 units of output. Put qL on the horizontal axis of the graph and qc on the vertical axis. (b) Explain how one can see on the graph of part a which combinations (qL, qc) allow to produce 64 000 units using a budget of exactly 100 units of money. (c) Explain how one can see on the graph of part a which combinations (qL, qc) allow to produce 64 000 units in the cheapest possible way.

Frances is a skilled toy maker who is able to produce both trucks and drums. She has 8 hours a day to produce toys. The following table shows the daily output resulting from various possible combinations of her time. Choice Hours Producing Produced (Trucks) (Drums) (Trucks) (Drums) A 8 0 4 0 B 6 2 3 10 C 4 4 2 16 D 2 6 1 18 E 0 8 0 19 Suppose Frances is currently using combination D, producing one truck per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a second truck per day is _______. Now, suppose Frances is currently using combination C, producing two trucks per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a third truck per day is ________ per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Frances increases her production of trucks, her opportunity cost of producing one more truck _______. Because she can now make more trucks per hour, Frances's opportunity cost of producing drums is…
If 10 million toy cars are sold. which means that: The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency more should be produced. From the data given it is impossible to tell if toy cars are being produced at the efficient level. O The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency less should be produced. The production of toy cars is currently at the efficient level. IF 30 million toy cars are sold, - vwhich means that: The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency more should be produced. O From the data given it is impossible to tell if toy cars are being produced at the efficient level. The production of toy cars is currently at the efficient level. The production of toy cars is currently at an inefficient level, and to reach efficiency less should be produced. The optimal allocation of resources would result in the production of toy cars.

MNLOGS harvested logs (with no inputs from othher companies) from their property in northern Minnesota. They sold these logs to MNLumber for $1,500 and MNLumber cut and planed the logs into lumber. MNLumber then sold the lumber for $3,000 to MNFurniture. MNFurniture used the lumber to produce 100 tables that they sold to customers for $80 each. Instructions: Enter your responses as whole numbers. a. Complete the table below to calculate the value added by each firm. Cost of purchased inputs Company Revenues Value added $ MNLOGS $ $ $ MNLumber $ $ MNFurniture b. Suppose that all of these transactions took place in 2014. By how much did GDP increase because of these transactions? $ c. Suppose that MNLogs harvested the logs in October 2014 and sold them to MNLumber in December 2014. MNLumber then sold the finished lumber to MNFurniture in April 2015 and MNFurniture sold all 100 tables during the rest of 2015. By how much did GDP increase in 2014 and 2015 because of these transactions? GDP…
