Answer:

The answer is: A) Mary Jane has a comparative advantage in law so she should specialize in law and hire a carpenter to make her cabinets.

Explanation:

Mary Jane has a comparative advantage by working as a lawyer over working as a carpenter. As a lawyer she can earn $150 an hour.

Considering that Mary Jane is 3 times as fast as a good carpenter, her work as a carpenter could be valued as the combined work of three carpenters. But even three carpenters earn less than a lawyer; $60 an hour ($20 an hour per carpenter times 3 carpenters).

So Mary Jane definitely should work as a lawyer and hire a carpenter or even three carpenters to build her cabinets.

Further this cannot be considered as wage or perk as this is not regular in nature and will not occur permanently.

Marginal utility will be calculated for movies by: 14/(4*4) which would mean 0.875 utils per dollar per movie. Whereas, for apps, it would be: 8/(3*4) which would mean utils per dollar per app to be 0.667. Hence, movies tend to carry higher utility.
