Tradeoffs and Opportunity Costs Discussion.

The economic way of thinking requires administrators to incorporate eight principles. One of the principles relates to “tradeoffs” and another principle relates to “opportunity costs” for scarce resources. Describe how public administrators must make trade-offs by assessing opportunity costs relating to scarce resources.Let’s have a scenario to explain the terms of trade off and opportunity cost. A couple of months ago there was a dam overflow in California. The dam overflow or its consequences such as brunet lawns, or the siltation that should be cleaned occasionally may be considered the byproduct or undesirable condition. On other hand, the ability to produce the chosen goods and services (hydroelectric power generation) would correspond to the desired condition. The outcome resulted from the two uneven conditions can be equivalent to the trade off. In the strict sense of the word, therefore, the opportunity cost is the amount of human and material resources sacrificed to build the dam itself. Please include such an illustration in your posts.

ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
