Ziva is an organic lettuce farmer, but she also spends part of her day as a professional organizing consultant. As a consultant,

Ziva helps people organize their houses. Due to the popularity of her home-organization services, Farmer Ziva has more clients requesting her services than she has time to help if she maintains her farming business. Farmer Ziva charges $25 an hour for her home-organization services. One spring day, Ziva spends 10 hours in her fields planting $130 worth of seeds on her farm. She expects that the seeds she planted will yield $300 worth of lettuce. Refer to Scenario 13-3. Ziva's economic profit from farming equals a. −$130. b. $170. c. $130. d. −$80.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

-$80 (d.)

Explanation:

in order to calculate this, we have to determine the total income earned from farming, and the total income that could have been earned if Ziva had done her consultancy service, and calculate the difference. This is shown as follows:

farming business

cost of seeds = $130

income from seeds = $300

Net income from farming = 300 - 130 = $170

Home-organizing service

charge per hour = $25

time spent on field that would have been used for consultancy = 10 hours

total amount that would have been earned for consultancy = 25 × 10 = $250

Difference between income earned for farming and the income that would have been earned for home-organizing serving = 170 - 250 = -$80

Note that the negative sign is there because Ziva indulged in the activity with the lesser income so she effectively made an economic loss instead of  a profit (she made a negative profit).

Answer: Both of them

Explanation:

Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.

As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.

Assume India can produce either 15 bottles of milk or 50 cartons of eggs using all of its available resources, and Indonesia can
diamong [38]

Answer:

50 cartons of eggs

Explanation:

The comparative advantage is a principle in which a country specializes in the production a good in which it has a lower opportunity cost than others.

                 Bottles of milk     cartons of eggs

India                  15                              50

Indonesia          25                             35

In this situation, the opportunity cost for India of producing 1 bottle of milk is producing 3.33 cartons of eggs. The opportunity cost for Indonesia of producing 1 bottle of milk is producing 1.4 cartons of eggs. This means that Indonesia has a lower opportunity cost and a comparative advantage in producing bottles of milk.

In the other part, the opportunity cost for India of producing 1 carton of eggs is producing 0.3 bottles of milk and the opportunity cost for Indonesia of producing 1 carton of eggs is producing 0.71 bottles of milk. This means that India has a lower opportunity cost and a comparative advantage in producing cartons of eggs.

According to this, India would specialize in producing eggs as it has a comparative advantage and the country will produce 50 cartons of eggs.
