Christine and Paul are deciding how to split their time between writing music and lyrics for their new album. Their PPFs for 72 h of work are shown. Christine and Paul have to write music for 8 songs and lyrics for 12 songs (4 songs already have music). When they are done, they can go to a private island and relax from all their hard work. It is possible that they will use more than 72 h.Once they start writing lyrics and music, assuming their hired help packs for them and their plane is waiting outside their door, in how many hours can they board the plane to their relaxing island getaway?

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Each of them is going to work for 96 hours or 4 days.

  • Paul will write the music for 8 songs.
  • Christine will write the lyrics for 12 songs.

Explanation:

PPFs (72 hours)                    Music (M)               Lyrics (L)

Christine                                       8                             9

Paul                                              6                              4  

Christine can write the music the one song in 9 hours and the lyrics in 8 hours.

Paul can write the music the one song in 12 hours and the lyrics in 18 hours.

Paul's opportunity cost of music per lyrics = 12/18 = 2/3, and the opportunity cost of lyrics per music = 6/4 = 3/2

Christine's opportunity cost of lyrics per music = 8/9, and the opportunity cost of music per lyrics = 9/8

Paul should specialize in writing music because his opportunity cost is lower, it will take him 12 x 8 = 96 hours to write down the music for 8 songs.

Christine should be in charge of writing lyrics (lower opportunity cost), it will take her 8 x 12 = 96 hours.

Each of them is going to work for 96 hours or 4 days.

  • Paul will write the music for 8 songs.
  • Christine will write the lyrics for 12 songs.

5. Monopoly outcome versus competition outcome Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply curves (S = MC) in the market for hot dogs.

Answers

The graph shows that as quantity of hot dogs and the price of hot dogs increases, the supply of hot dogs will increase while the demand from customers will decrease. The point on the graph that will show the market price and quantity resulting from competition is where the supply and demand lines will meet (at 60 hot dogs and $3.5 per hot dog). The area that represents consumer surplus will be anywhere on the graph where the demand from the consumers is higher than the supply of the hot dogs. Conversely, the area that represents producer surplus will be anywhere on the graph where the supply of the hot dogs is greater than the demand from the consumers.

The export supply curve is the portion of the domestic supply curve below the no-trade equilibrium price. True or false

Answers

That statement is False

Even though is true that export supply is a portion of the domestic supply, but the moment there's an export of products,  the curve will curve above the no-trade equilibrium price ( which only stated the equilibrium price when there's no international trade) 

An editor would like to see every sentence containing the word “cat” that appears in a PowerPoint presentation. Which options should the editor use to see every sentence with “cat”?a. Match case
b. Find whole words only
c. Replace with
d. Find and Replace what

Answers

Answer:

b. Find whole words only

Explanation:

All Office Package software, to which Power Point belongs, has a feature so you can find a word. In the case of Power Point, you need to click on the "home page" tab and then click on "find" (this button has a binocular symbol). Then you need to check "Find whole words only" and type the word you are looking for (cat). This mechanism prevents the software from finding other words that have "cat" in its composition, such as "catch up". This way the software will find only the word "cat".
