Refer to the production possibility frontiers for two friends Frodo and Sam who can both produce Ice creams and Jelly beans. Frodo's maximum production of Ice creams is 500 with no Jelly beans, or 2,000 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. Sam's maximum production of Ice creams is 600 with no Jelly beans, or 1,200 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. ICE CREAMS ICE CREAMS 600 500 1200 JELLY BEANS 2000 JELLY BEANS Frodo' PPF Sam's PPF Answer briefly these TWO questions in the box space provided below. Part A: Assuming efficient production without trade, derive the maximum amount of Jelly beans that can be produced by Sam along with 300 Ice creams. Describe your steps in detail. Part B: Assume that Frodo and Sam agree to specialize in production and trade between themselves. Frodo offers 1,000 Jelly beans to Sam in exchange for 300 lce creams. Would Sam agree to this trade?

This question is a file-upload question. Work your answer in a piece of paper, take a picture with your phone and upload the file. Using the table below answer the following: Points Soda Pizza A 10 В 1 6 3 a) Draw a PPF map (put soda in the vertical axis and pizza in the horizontal axis), showing all the points on the PPF. b) What is the opportunity cost of an extra pizza when you are on segment AB? What about when you are at segment CD? (i.e., how many sodas you have to give up in order to get an extra pizza? SHOW YOUR WORK!) c) What is your PPF's shape? Is it a straight line or does it have a bowed outward shape? Justify! d) Suppose that there is a new technology that affects ONLY the production of soda. Illustrate this effect on your PPF map.
