Answer:
$28,000 and $12,000, respectively
Explanation:
Marginal cost = incremental cost from Plan C to Plan D
= total cost (plan D) - total cost (plan C)
= 72,000 - 44,000 = $28,000
Marginal benefit = incremental benefit from Plan C to Plan D
= total benefit (plan D) - total benefit (plan C)
= 64,000 - 52,000 = $12,000
Therefore marginal cost and benefits for Plan D = $28,000 and $12,000, respectively
Answer:
The correct answer is the option A: a person with a high opportunity cost of time.
Explanation:
To begin with, the opportunity cost of something is what the person sacrificies in order to be doing that thing. Therefore that when we talk about the opportunity cost of time it refers to what the person sacrificies in order to do something with that time. If the person has a high opportunity cost of time then the sacrificies that he made with that time will be higher than other person that has a low opportunity cost of time, meaning that the time spent by that person is less important than to the one that has a lot of time to spare.
Answer:
A. Movement on the PPC
B. Rightwards / Outwards shift of PPC
C. Less Concavity of PPC
Explanation:
Production Possibility Curve is combination of two goods that an economy can produce, given resources & technology (efficient utilisation).
- It is a downward sloping curve as more of one good can be produced by sacrifising other good, same resources & technology.
- It is concave curve because of increasing marginal opportunity cost, i.e increasing amounts of a good to be sacrifised to gain additional amount of other good, as resources are not equally efficient in production of both goods.
- Points on PPC reflect full utilisation, points under PPC reflect under utilisation, points above PPC are unattainable.
a) A disagreement between persons favouring more domestic welfare spending or national welfare spending : Is just an issue of reallocation of same resources, technology. So, PPC doesn't change & there can only be movement on the PPC (more of one good, less of other good)
b) An increase in population : leads to increase in human resource & hence the PPC shifts outwards / rightwards as the production potential of economy rise with more human resource.
c) Technological change that make resources less specialised : would reduce resources' efficiency gap in production of two goods. So, Marginal Opportunity cost reduces & hence the PPC becomes less concave.
