An individual's daily outcomes can be represented by a combination of free time and grain produced. Assume a day consists of 24 hours. If one possible outcome for the individual is 13.5 hours of free time and 24 bushels of grain, what is their average productivity, measured in bushels of grain per hour of work?

Evaluating Production Efficiency

Consider an individual who has 24 hours available in a day. Currently, they work 10.5 hours to produce 24 bushels of grain. A new technology becomes available that allows them to produce the same 24 bushels of grain in only 9 hours of work. If the individual adopts this new technology and maintains their production at 24 bushels, this new situation represents an unambiguous improvement in their well-being.

Evaluating a Change in Work-Leisure Allocation

An agricultural worker has a 24-hour day. They currently work 10.5 hours to produce 24 bushels of grain, leaving them with 13.5 hours of free time. They are considering a new work arrangement where they would work for 11.5 hours to produce 25.5 bushels of grain. Which statement best analyzes the change from the initial situation to the new arrangement?

Evaluating a Marginal Decision

An economic model describes the daily production possibilities for three different individuals, each with 24 hours available per day. Match each average productivity level (measured in bushels of grain per hour of work) with the individual who achieves it.
