Assume that both have constant opportunity costs: Theo Marlee Bananas 20 50 Rice (in lbs.) 30 50 • Suppose that Theo and Marlee each spent half of their day making each good; Theo makes 10 bananas and 15 pounds of rice and Marlee makes 25 bananas and 25 pounds of rice. Show this point on the production possibilities curve of each person, and label that point X on your graph above. What is the total production of each good? • Suppose that Theo and Marlee agree to exchange 4 bananas for 5 pounds of rice. Under this agreement, Theo sells 15 pounds of his 30 pounds of rice to Marlee, in exchange for 12 of her 50 bananas. Show the new consumption points on the graph above for each person, and label these new consumption points Z.arrow_forward1. Google provides Gmail users with 15GB of "free" storage. Is it really free? If not, what are the costs and who pays them? 2. Theoretically, users who reach their limit also have a third option: they can switch to a different email provider. Why might people be unwilling to do that? 3. Consider the opportunity cost of users' time associated with spending several hours to delete thousands of emails. If a user is willing to spend 2 hours per week deleting emails to avoid spending $2 per month for storage, what does that say about the value a user places on their leisure time? Is that rational?arrow_forward
