Question

4 Consider an economy that produces two goods: X and Y. The following graph depicts a scenario where the economy starts on the green production
possibilities frontier (PPF 1). The economy's PPF then shifts from the initial PPF to the second PPF in blue (PPF 2)
Refer to the following graph to answer the question.
X
PPF 2
PPF
1
True or False: The graph depicts a shift of the PPF that might occur in the event of a war.
O True
O False

Suppose Swaziland is considered to be a small country. In 2022, the South African producers increased their export of cars by 100 per cent. To protect the Swaziland domestic car industry, the Swaziland government imposed an import tariff of 10% per vehicle imported.Use the partial equilibrium analysis to illustrate the effects of the protective import tariff on the Swaziland Economy.

2.) Suppose that Bob and Jimmy both have 10 hours of time that they can use to do one of two things: make pasta or make hamburgers. Bob can make 15 hamburgers in one hour and 3 plates of pasta in one hour. Jimmy can make 8 hamburgers in one hour and 2 plates of pasta in one hour. a.) Graph Bob and Jimmy’s PPFs using hamburgers as your x variable. Solve for both PPFs in y = mx + b form. b.) Who has absolute advantage in the production of hamburgers? Who has absolute advantage in the production of pasta?

Point A on the lighter PPF curve represents the combination of the two goods Rubberland currently produces. When a new method of rubber processing is discovered, the PPF shifts to the right, the darker PPF curve. Assume that Rubberland does not make more rubber hoses than they originally made at point A but still maximize their productive capabilities. How many more rubber hand balls do they now produce per day than before? O 59 O 30 O 20 Q 39 Quantity of rubber hnd halls
Suppose you won $15 on a lotto ticket at the local 7-Eleven and decided to spend all the winnings on candy bars and bags of peanuts. Candy bars cost $0.75 each while bags of peanuts cost $1.50 each. a. Construct a table showing the alternative combinations of the two products that are available. b. Plot the data in your table as a budget line in a graph. What is the slope of the budget line? What is the opportunity cost of one more candy bar? Of one more bag of peanuts? Do these opportunity costs rise, fall, or remain constant as additional units are purchased? c. Does the budget line tell you which of the available combinations of candy bars and bags of peanuts to buy? d. Suppose that you had won $30 on your ticket, not $15. Show the $30 budget line in your diagram. Has the number of available combinations increased or decreased?
(From last year’s final exam) Using an Edgeworth box, draw the following scenario. Amanda and Genevieve are in a 2-person closed economy where they only consume 2 goods: cheese and oranges. Amanda initially has 10 circles of cheese and 2 oranges and Genevieve initially has 12 oranges and 1 circle of cheese. Genevieve is tired of oranges and would like more cheese. Likewise, Amanda has eaten too much cheese in the past and would prefer more oranges. Assume that they engage in a series of trades and in the end settle on the following deal: Amanda gives Genevieve 4 circles of cheese in exchange for 6 oranges. Make sure to indicate on your graph: i. all of the axes, ii. indifference curves at the initial endowment (assume usual, well-behaved, convex indifference curves), iii. and indifference curves at the final bundle that emerged as an equilibrium through trade.
Paul, Noel, and Sandi work in a bakery where they make pies and cakes. In one day, Paul can make 5 pies or 5 cakes or any combination of these two goods that lie on the same line containing these two production points. Noel can make 30 pies or 10 cakes or any combination of these two goods that lie on the same line containing these two production points. Sandi can make 12 pies or 6 cakes or any combination of these two goods that lie on the same line containing these two production points. Assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) of each person is a straight line. What are the opportunity costs of producing 1 pie in terms of the number of cakes for Paul, Noel, and Sandi? a. The opportunity cost of producing 1 pie for Paul is 1 cake; for Noel is one third of a cake; for Sandi is one half of a cake. b. The opportunity cost of producing 1 pie for Paul is 1 cake; for Noel is three cakes; for Sandi is one half of a cake. c. The opportunity cost of…

Assume the economy can produce either sports utility vehicles (SUVS) or minivans. The graph below depicts the current production possibilities frontier (PPF). Suppose several new factories are built. Move the end points of the PPF below to show how the PPF changes. Assume that the factory construction affects the economy's ability to produce both minivans and SUVs. Quantity of minivans Quantity of SUVs PPF This is an example of: economic stagnation. economic recession economic contraction. economic growth.
or each of the following separate parts, you are required to draw one or two graphs. Make sure that you label both axes correctly. (a) Consider the demand for gasoline. Suppose more substitutes for gasoline are available. Draw a graph to show how the price of elasticity of demand for gasoline changes. (b) Country A produces two goods: chicken wings and pizzas. If unemployment rate increases, draw how the PPF of country A will change. Assume that opportunity costs are increasing. (c) Consider the market for new houses. Suppose the prices of the materials for building houses increase. Draw a graph to show how the equilibrium of market for new houses changes.
Differentiate between an exogenous variable and an endogenous variable in an economic model? Why isn’t it useful to construct an economic model that contains only exogenous variables (and no endogenous variables)?
