Answer: True

Explanation:

Marginal benefit is the maximum amount that a consumer will be willing to pay for an extra product. It should be known that as consumption rises, the marginal benefit starts reducing.

The marginal cost is the extra cost that a producer incurs when an extra unit of a product is made. Economic decisions made by economic agents are typically based on marginal as it'll be possible to know the impact of an extra decision made on a variable.

Therefore, it is better to evaluate economic decisions at the marginal, where the decision has to be made as long as its marginal benefit exceeds its marginal cost, if not equal to its marginal cost.

When marginal cost is greater than marginal benefit at the current activity level, the decision maker can increase net benefit b
Rainbow [258]

Answer: d. total cost will fall by more than total benefit will fall.

Explanation:

At this point where Marginal benefit is greater than marginal cost, it means that every additional unit produced gives a higher total cost than total benefit.

If activity levels were to be decreased therefore, total cost would fall more than total benefit would fall until a point is reached where total benefit and total cost would be falling at the same rate. This would be the optimal activity point because Marginal cost would be equal to Marginal benefit.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a. trade-offs 

c. marginal thinking 

Explanation:

Marginal thinking is when a decision maker evaluates the marginal benefits and marginal cost of a certain activity. Daniel is trying to evaluate if the extra calories (marginal cost) he would get from eating the 5th size of pizza (marginal benefit) is worth it.

Trade offs is also known as opportunity cost. It is what is sacrificed in order to carry out a certain activity. If Daniel eats the pizza, he's sacrificing a more healthy body for the extra slice of pizza.

Ulleksa [173]

Solution:

Given ,

1 Year interest rates in Europe = 4 %

1 Year interest rates in the U.S. = 2 %

You are translating $200,000 and spending $200,000 in French

Current spot rate of the euro = $1.20

a.   (2%-4%)/(1+4%)=(S - 1.20) / 1.20  

     S= $1.1769 one year Euro rate

b. ( $1 / 1.20 )( 1 + 4% )* 1.12 = $.9707 return of -2.93% (loss)

c. ( $1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%)* 1.31 = $1.1353 return of 13.53% (gain)

d . ($1 / 1.20) ( 1 + 4%) *S = $1 (1+2%) ;

        S=$1.1769          

A spot rate of over $1.17697 (this is the same in part A) would be effective.
