Q1. Your friend Sam has been asked to do appetizers for a university reception. She has an unlimited amount of ingredients and 6 hours in which to prepare them. Sam can make 200 mini-sandwiches or 160 servings of melon slices topped with smoked salmon and a dab of sauce per hour. a. Sam's opportunity cost of making one mini-sandwich is (circle to the right one) 0.8 melon appetizer 1.25 melon appetizers. b. Sam's opportunity cost of making one melon appetizer is (circle to the right one) 0.8 mini-sandwich 1.25 mini-sandwiches. c. Suppose the reception has been postponed, and Sam has an extra 4 hours to prepare. The opportunity cost of making one mini-sandwich is now (circle to the right one) 1.25 melon appetizers 0.8 melon appetizer. d. Suppose the reception has been postponed, and Sam has an extra 4 hours to prepare. The opportunity cost of making one melon appetizer is now (circle to the right one) 0.8 mini-sandwich 1.25 mini-sandwiches. e. Suppose Sam's friend Chris helps by preparing the melon slices, increasing Sam's productivity to 200 mini-sandwiches or 200 melon appetizers per hour. The opportunity cost of making one mini-sandwich is now (circle to the right one) 1.25 melon appetizers 1 melon appetizer. f. Suppose Sam's friend Chris helps by preparing the melon slices, increasing Sam's productivity to 200 mini-sandwiches or 200 melon appetizers per hour. The opportunity cost of making one melon appetizer is now (circle to the right one) 1.25 mini-sandwiches 1 mini-sandwich. Q2 Suppose three volunteers are preparing cookies and cupcakes for a bake sale. Diana can make 17 cookies or 28 cupcakes per hour; Andy can make 15 cookies or 27 cupcakes per hour; and Sam can make 0 cookies or 22 cupcakes per hour. a. Who has an absolute advantage at making cookies? (circle to the right one) Andy Diana Sam. b. Who has an absolute advantage at making cupcakes? (circle to the right one) Andy Diana Sam. Q3. Maya and Max are neighbors. Both grow lettuce and tomatoes in their gardens. Maya can grow 45 heads of lettuce or 9 kilograms of tomatoes this summer. Max can grow 42 heads of lettuce or 6 kilos of tomatoes this summer. If Maya and Max specialize and trade, the price of 1 kilo of tomatoes (in terms of lettuce) would be between (circle to the right one) 5 and 7 5 and 6 4 and 8 4 and 7 heads of lettuce.
