Jess can purchase any entree (beef, chicken or shrimp) for $20. Assuming it is the only entree she eats, she values the beef at $35. Assuming it is the only entree she eats, she values the chicken at $28. (If she has already eaten an entree, she has no value for a second entree.) What is the cost of purchasing (and eating) the shrimp entree?
A: $35. If Jess does not order the shrimp, she will order the beef, pay $20, and receive $35 in value. By purchasing and eating the shrimp, she still pays $20, but gives up the $35 in enjoyment value

John and Laura can only produce beer and chips. John has a comparative advantage in neither beer nor chips. We therefore know that:
(a) Laura has an absolute advantage in the production of beer and chips
(b) John and Laura have the same opportunity cost for beer and chips
(c) Laura has a comparative advantage in the production of both beer and chips
(d) John must have lower opportunity costs of production in both goods
(e) none of the above.
B. You have a comparative advantage in your lower opportunity cost. Remember, if you have a lower opportunity cost in chips (i.e., comparative advantage in chips) you have a higher opportunity cost for beer (i.e., comparative disadvantage in beer). This is because the opportunity cost for chips is the reciprocal of the opportunity cost for beer and vice versa. No comparative advantage → same opportunity cost for both.

The Coffee Club Assume units (quantities) need not be constrained to integers. Per-period marginal benefit in dollars, as a function of quantity, is given by MB(Q) = 45−5Q. In order to purchase any quantity, you must pay a per-period membership fee, and then you pay $15 for each unit you purchase in that period. Assume the membership fee is $120. Do you purchase a membership? If so, how many units of coffee do you optimally purchase?
You do not purchase membership because the benefit ($90) is smaller than the cost ($120).

Assume that each of two countries (Gazzalestan and Boblandia) can produce food and medicine. Assume each faces a constant opportunity cost of producing food, but this constant opportunity cost differs across countries. True, False or Uncertain? If Boblandia has a comparative advantage in in food production, Gazzalestan specializes in medicine production.
Uncertain. Assume we start with both countries producing medicine. If we want some food, we start with Boblandia producing food. As long as Boblandia can produce all the food needed (given its cost in terms of medicine), then Gazzalestan specializes in medicine. If we continue to demand more food at the cost of less medicine, once Boblandia has completely specialized, then Gazzalestan must take resources away from medicine and move into food (i.e., no longer specialize).
