His opportunity cost of producing a second boat per day is 1 puzzle ▼ per day. Now, suppose Edison is currently using combination C, producing two boats per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third boat per day is v per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Edison increases his production of boats, his opportunity cost of producing one more boat Suppose Edison buys a new tool that enables him to produce twice as many boats per hour as before, but it doesn't affect his ability to produce puzzles. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his new PPF on the previous graph. Because he can now make more boats per hour, Edison's opportunity cost of producing puzzles is v it was previously.

A small company that shovels sidewalks and driveways has 100 homes signed up for its services this winter. It can use various combinations of capital and labor: intensive labor with hand shovels, less labor with snow blowers, and still less labor with a pickup truck that has a snowplow on front. To summarize, the method Choices are: Method 1: 50 units of labor, 10 units of capital Method 2: 20 units of labor, 40 units of capital Method 3: 10 units of labor, 70 units of capital If hiring labor for the winter costs $100/unit and a unit of capital costs 400, what is the best production method?

Homework (Ch 13) Douglas Fur is a small manufacturer of fake-fur boots in Houston. The following table shows the company's total cost of production at various production quantities. Fill in the remaining cells of the following table. Quantity Total Cost Marginal Cost Fixed Cost (Pairs) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) 0 78°F Sunny 1 2 3 4 5 6 60 155 220 255 300 350 450 2 On the following graph, plot Douglas Fur's average total cost (ATC) curve using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot its average variable cost (AVC) curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot its marginal cost (MC) curve using the orange points (square symbol). (Hint: For ATC and AVC, plot the points on the integer; for example, the ATC of producing one pair of boots is $155, so you should start your ATC curve by placing a green point at (1, 155). For MC, plot the points between the integers: For example, the MC of increasing production from zero to one pair of boots is $95, so you should…
