Suppose that Econistan produces two goods, marshmallows and toothpicks, under conditions of constant opportunity costs. Given its resources, the maximum number of marshmallows that it can make is 1000 pounds, and the opportunity cost of making one additional box of toothpicks is 4 pounds of marshmallows. a) (5 points) What is the maximum amount of toothpicks that Econistan can produce

Answer:

maximum number of toothpicks to be produced = 250

Explanation:

given data

maximum number of marshmallows = 1000 pounds

opportunity cost = 4 pounds

solution

we get here max no of toothpick that is express as

max no of toothpick = maximum number of marshmallows ÷ opportunity cost one toothpicks        .......................1

put here value

max no of toothpick = [tex]\frac{1000}{4}[/tex]

max no of toothpick = 250

maximum number of toothpicks to be produced = 250

Majestic Bank offers loans at various interest rates, depending on the nature of the loan.
Kevin wants to borrow $230,000 for a new home. He promises to pay back the loan in 10 years. Maria also wants to borrow $230,000 for a new home. She promises to pay back the loan in 15 years.

Three friends are trying to decide what to do on Saturday night. The options are to go to a party, go see a play, or hang out at their apartment. Abdul prefers to see a play over going to the party, which he prefers to hanging out. Gina prefers to hang out over seeing a play, which she prefers to going to the party. Shaquille would most like to go to the party, his second choice is to hang out, and the play is his least preferred option. In the spirit of democracy, they decide to vote on their options. In a three-way vote, they each vote for a different choice, leading to a tie and failing to solve their problem. They thus decide to consider the options in pairs.
(1 point) Shaquille suggests that they first vote on hanging out versus going to the play and then vote on the winner of that versus going to the party. Which option will be chosen?
Choose one:
A. Go to the play.
B. Go to the party.
C. Hang out.
