    Instead of 'marginal cost' (which usually has another meaning), I suggest 'marginal opportunity cost'.

  • @BlancCerfLe
    @BlancCerfLe 8 лет назад +6

    I was curious as to what the marginal utility was at E, without assuming linearity.
    For those of you who are also curious here's how I worked it out:
    I noticed that the the sequence of berries had a constant second derivative of -20 i.e. the amount that the production of berries decreased by for each rabbit produced was increasing each time by 20. This is characteristic of a quadratic function and can be proved using integration.
    I then worked out the coefficients of the quadratic by substituting in the known points in the video. This gives B=f(R)=-10R^2-10R+300, differentiating this gives the marginal utility: f'(R)=-20R-10. So at point E the marginal utility is f'(1)=-30, in terms of berries this gives 1/30.

    The resources are finite, hence we need to make the best choices. The principle of opportunity cost helps us in making the correct choices.
    For instance everyone has 24 hours in a day. How do we use the next 1 hour of our time.
    Extending this principle beyond money , each individual chooses that which provides the greatest value to the individual.
    One person may value serving others, another making money, a third family time. This understanding of opportunity cost helps us in allocating maximum resources for what we value.
    Thanks.

  • @bradendredge6809
    @bradendredge6809 3 года назад +1

    The opportunity cost differs depending on from what scenario to what scenario. From F to D is 60 berries. From E to C is 100. In both, you catch 2 more rabbits.

    • @bradendredge6809
      @bradendredge6809 3 года назад

      You may have to gather data for each hour of the day gathering only berries, and gathering only rabbits, to see what hours of the day are best for gathering each.

    • @bradendredge6809
      @bradendredge6809 3 года назад

      Another way of saying “the opportunity cost of 20 berries is 1 rabbit” is to say “as you gain 20 berries than you would in another scenario, you lose the rabbit you would have gained in that other scenario.”

    • @bradendredge6809
      @bradendredge6809 3 года назад

      It’s interesting that it’s worded as a “loss,” or a “cost,” when you really don’t get it to begin with. It’s a lost opportunity, yes-“you lost the opportunity to get another thing”-but it’s rather a gain fore-gone.

    Vicki Bee This is just an example to understand opportunity cost. In reality you will not really have zero berries or rabbits because you give up berries or rabbits, due to the presence of trade. For example when you give up all berries and use the time to hunt rabbits you can use the extra rabbits you get to trade for berries. You should know the world better before you made any negative comments.

    Average salary of Bachelor degree: ~ 30,000 USD
    Minimum wage per annum: ~16,000
    We are starting at 18 years of age. If one invest normally, in 8-10 years his contribution times two. It take at least four years after high school, to earned a bachelor degree. Those four years of education, he have no income.
