(a)
Zoe works as wedding photographer and earns $22 per hour.
So, each hour Zoe spends on collecting fossils, she loses $22.
Thus,
The opportunity cost of 1 hour of fossil collection is $22.
Following is the required table -
Hours per day | Total fossils per day | Marginal product |
Lowest price Zoe would accept per hour (Opportunity cost of 1 hour/marginal product) |
1 | 6 | 6 | (22/6) = $3.67 |
2 | 11 | 5 | (22/5) = $4.40 |
3 | 15 | 4 | (22/4) = $5.50 |
4 | 18 | 3 | (22/3) = $7.33 |
5 | 20 | 2 | (22/2) = $11 |
(b)
The relationship between the lowest price and the number of fossils collected is referred to as the Supply curve.
