Consider Tralfamadore, a hypothetical country that produces only burritos. In 2017, a burrito is priced at $2.00.
Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of burritos that can be bought with $700.
Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a burrito, and always round down to the nearest whole burrito. For example, if your calculations result in 1.5 burritos, the answer should be 1 burrito.

Jame asks if John would be interested in spending the month of January in his apartment. Jame plans to go to Aspen for the month and so his apartment will be empty. All Jame asks is that John pay the monthly service charge of $50 charged by his landlord and the heating bill for the month of January. Since his apartment is much better insulated than John's, it only costs $1 per month to raise the temperature by 1 degree. John thanks Jame and says he will let Jame know tomorrow. John puts his earmuffs back on and muses. If he accepts Jame's offer, he will still have to pay rent on his current apartment but he won't have to heat it. If he moved, heating would be cheaper, but he would have the $50 service charge.

- Suppose two bars, “the Last Jar” and “Prince Alfred”, can choose to sell a pint of beer for either $10 or $12. For simplicity, assume that: these are the only two possible prices; there are no costs (e.g., there is no cost for obtaining and serving the beer), and each customer drinks exactly one pint of beer. There are two types of customers: professors and students. Professors are not price-sensitive and go to the bar closest to their department’s building. Thus, 50 professors from the Melbourne School of Engineering go to Prince Alfred, while 50 professors from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education go to the Last Jar. Meanwhile, the students, who are 200 in total, are price sensitive. They go to the bar with the lowest price –or, if both bars charge the same price, then they split evenly.

- Scarcity and choice are important in economics because there would be no economy if there was no scarcity (limitation in resources) and no choice as to how these resources would be used. Scarcity and choice are the founding blocks of the story of economics. Scarcity in economics refers to limited resources against unlimited wants. Choice is the alternative between them. Economics deals with the study of human behavior and how humans allocate their limited resources (scarcity) with their unlimited wants. Since we have limited resources, we usually have to choose one option (choice) and forgo the other. This phenomenon is called "opportunity cost" . Our wants change when we consume more of one particular option, Its value diminishes and we start preferring some other option. This is called 'utility' or 'diminishing utility' as a progressive term. Example: If you are in school and you only have $10 for lunch money (scarcity), you can either buy a…arrow_forwardWhen Paul Samuelson switched from physics to economics, Robert Solow is said to have remarked that the average IQ in both disciplines went up. A bystander responded that Solow's claim must be wrong because it implies that the average IQ for academia as a whole (which is a weighted average of the average IQ levels for each discipline) must also have gone up as a result of the switch, which is clearly impossible. Was the bystander right? A) Yes. If the average in both disciplines goes up then the population average must also rise. B) No. There is not enough information about the average IQ for the population. C) Yes. The weights may change so that the population average also increases. D) No. If those in physics had IQs above average and those in economics has IQs below average, then the population average need not have changed.arrow_forwardCould you explain in economic concepts the situation in the image why there is scarcity in the situation?arrow_forward
