Suppose life expectancy in years (L) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (H) and nutrition expenditures (N) in hundreds of dollars per year. The production function is Upper L equals cH Superscript 0.40 Baseline Upper N Superscript 0.60L=cH0.40N0.60. Beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (Hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (Nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. The marginal product of health expenditures when H goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when H goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
