Assuming that a problem is “convex,” net benefits are maximized when a. Producers select a level of production where internal benefits equal external costs. b. Producers select a level of production at which costs equal benefits. c. Producers engage in an activity up to the point where marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost. d. Producers engage in an activity up to the point where marginal benefit equals marginal cost. e. Producers engage in an activity up to the point where total average revenue exceeds total average cost.

3. Suppose the Canada can produce cattle or corn with a given amount of resources. Below is a graphdepicting the production possibility frontier for Canada and the marginal benefit and cost of a bushel ofcorn. Discuss the relationship between the marginal cost and marginal benefit of corn and the production ofboth corn and cattle.(a) Discuss the overallocation of resources, underallocation of resources, and optimal allocation of resources. (b) When operating at the optimal level of corn production, what is the optimal level of cattle production? Whyis this the optimal amount (why not more or less cattle)?
10. Sunk costs and decision making Carlos has plans to go to an opera and already has a $100 nonrefundable, nonexchangeable, and nontransferable ticket. Now Deborah, vwhom Carlos has wanted to date for a long time, asks him to a party. Carlos vwould prefer to go to the party with Deborah and forgo the opera, but he doesn't want to waste the $100 he spent on the opera ticket. From the perspective of an economist, if Carlos decides to go to the party with Deborah, what has he just done? Made a choice that was not optimal Incorrectly allowed a sunk cost to influence his decision O Correctly ignored a sunk cost
