Answer: Option (A) and (B) are correct.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

In our case, the opportunity cost of purchasing Aldens is the savings that is foregone and classic, snazzy look that comes with wearing wingtips.

Suppose that a delivery company currently uses one employee per vehicle to deliver packages. Each driver delivers 60 packages pe
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a. What is the MRP per driver per day?

  • the marginal revenue product per driver = 60 packages x $20 = $1,200 per day

b. Now suppose that a union forces the company to place a supervisor in each vehicle at a cost of $300 per supervisor per day. The presence of the supervisor causes the number of packages delivered per vehicle per day to rise to 60  packages per day What is the MRP per supervisor per day? By how much per vehicle per day do firm profits fall after supervisors are introduced?

  • if the drivers were already delivering 60 packages per day without the supervisor, then the addition of the supervisor doesn't change anything. So the MRP of the supervisor is $0. That means that the company's profits will decrease by $300 per day due to the supervisors.

c. How many packages per day would each vehicle have to deliver in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?

  • $300 / 20 = 15 packages per day
  • in order to maintain the profit per vehicle, each team of delivery man + supervisor should be able to deliver 75 packages per day.

d. Suppose that the number of packages delivered per day cannot be increased but that the price per deliver might potentially be raised. What price would the firm have to charge for each delivery in order to maintain the firm's profit per  vehicle after supervisors are introduced?

  • $300 / 60 = $5
  • the price of each package delivered should increase by $5 to $25 per package.

Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor to produce rye and 3 million hours to produce jeans, while Dolorium
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Bellisima's opportunity cost:  

Production of rye per million hours of labor = 24 / 12 = 2 pairs of jeans

Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 12 / 24 = 0.5 bushels of rye

Dolorium's opportunity cost:  

Production of rye per million hours of labor = 32 / 8 = 4 pairs of jeans

Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 8 / 32 = 0.25 bushels of rye

Dolorium has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.

If both countries specialize:

Bellisima will produce 48 million bushels of rye.

Dolorium will produce 128 million pairs of jeans.

Total production of rye has increased by 12 million bushels.

Total production of jeans has increased by 24 million pairs.
