Title: The HELP with HOMEWORK thread
Post by: SER on February 22, 2003, 08:52:01 PM
We\'ve had some members asking for help with homework in the past, and they\'ve had alot of help, especially Adan if I remember correctly. Anyway, please help me with this. PRETTY PLEASE? :D

Choose a local natural resource with which you are familiar, e.g., an acre of farmland or a nearby lake.

a. List three alternative uses for your chosen raw material.

b. Choose one of the three uses. What is the opprtunity cost of this use? (What do you give up for it?)  Should you include the cost of clean-up (if this is appropriate) following use?

c.  Is the resource renewable or not?  If not, should this be factored into your calculations?

d.  Describe how your community has chosen to use the resource so far, if at all.  Who and what have deteremined that choice?




You must be thinking I\'m dumb or something, I\'m just lazy. :p If you can\'t help, just gimmie some ideas on a natural resource, cause I have no friggin clue. :crap:

Well, just didn\'t want to look so dumb. I don\'t know any natural resource besides trees, and my teacher said not to use trees. :shrugs:

How about water? is there a lake or resovoir near your area?

a. Drinking, Cleaning (washing yourself, washing your clothes, etc), and Farming (watering farmland, plants, etc)

b. Oppurtunity cost = None. If you have to put an oppurtunity cost then give some bs oppurtunity cost. For example if you choose to use it for cleaning then the oppurtunity cost would be taking away valued water from other uses such as farming and drinking or even damaging the natural habitat of animals like fish, birds, other aquatic lifeforms.

c. Yes this resource is renewable. It gets replenished by rainfall it can also be recycled and cleaned so it can be reused.

d. This question is just based on how your community uses it.

Hoped this helped. :)
