*for problem 36, unfortunately the alternatives do not appear. So as the question is worded, the distance AB represents savings per worker which is also equal to investment per worker.

Good luck.

Remember, the written problems are on a document on the I-drive.

final exam stuff

Ok, I finally got the four (4) final exam written problems placed out on the I-drive. (If you do not see it make sure you hit refresh or reload page.) Right now I have it in a Microsoft *.docx version. I do not have the ability to convert it to a pdf on my home computer. If you have issues, I apologize, but I won't be able to reload a pdf version until I get to the office on Monday.

The multiple choice problems have been out there for a while. There are quite a few but should give you a good idea of the types of questions you'll get on the final.

Reminder, your final projects are due by the time the econ department office closes on Friday Dec. 18. I will not be in the office that afternoon. Look first to see if there is a drop box outside my office as I have other classes with projects due. If there is no drop box you should slide it under my office door. I will pick them up Friday evening or Saturday morning for scoring.

IMPORTANT: The department office typically closes at 4:30. Sometimes, depending on availability of personnel, it can close early. Do NOT leave your paper outside the door or under the main office door. It will be declared too late. You've had plenty of extra time so please have it done by Thursday so all you need to do is drop it off on Friday.

I'll work on the answer key for the sample multiple choice problems this Sunday afternoon. I'll post it when it is ready (and that could still be Monday).

Good luck folks. You can do this.
