Answer: The rate at which he is willing to substitute one good for the other

Explanation: Indifference curve shows the combination of two goods that give the consumer the same level of satisfaction. the slope of this indifference curve shows how much the consumer is willing to substitute one good for the other in order to keep utility constant.

Slope= \frac{Change in x}{Change in y}

Slope of Indifference curve for soda and chips shows how much soda Timothy is willing to substitute to get 1 additional unit of chips.

Slope=\frac{Unit of soda foregone}{Units of chips gained}

So, the correct option is the rate at which he is willing to substitute one good for the other.

                                                                                         $750,000

Adjusted basis (535,000)

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:  b. ​Economies of Scope

Explanation:

Economies of Scope in effect points out that there are some goods that when produced in tandem with another, lead to a cost reduction which means that its savings is <em>based on variety</em>.

Goods that usually achieve Economies of Scope are goods that are compliments, produced by similar methods or use similar inputs for production.

Firm A merging with Firm B produced the 5 radios and batteries cheaper so the new company is experiencing Economies of Scope.

Look at Exercise 19.2. Compute the opportunity costs of producing sweaters and wine in both France and Tunisia. Who has the lowe
monitta

Answer:

Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.

The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.

Ex : Production Possibilities

                   Wine            Sweater    Trade off (Wine :Sweater)

France          10                   5              1:0.5  or 2:1

Tunisia          8                   24              1:3  or 0.33:1

  • France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia  [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
  • Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine <  2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia
