Businesses must determine how to use scarce resources to operate productively. This is often a matter of weighing various factors and making a choice based on how each of these factors is
affected.
Read each of the situations below and in each case, consider the following factors:
Opportunity cost
Marginal cost
Marginal revenue/benefit
For each situation:
1. Describe the best course of action with respect to the factors above.
2. Analyze the decision from an economic viewpoint, including:
a. What were the marginal benefits?
b. What were the marginal costs (include not just dollar-costs, but also any opportunity
costs)?
C. How did you compare the marginal costs with the marginal benefits?
d. Were there any sunk costs involved? Did you include them in your analysis?
Case 1: A business that produces small appliances, such as blenders, toasters, and the like, is

economy, as opposed to if you owned it in the U. S.?
