Carmen and Dennis live on a desolate island. They spend their days fishing or climbing trees to collect coconuts. The following table shows how much of each activity Carmen and Dennis can produce for each hour of work. They each can work up to 12 hours a day. Fish per hour Coconuts per hour Carmen 40 8 Dennis 28 7 On a piece of paper, draw Carmen's PPF with fish on the horizontal (x) axis and coconuts on the vertical (y) axis. Carment's PPF extends from Question Blank 1 of 9 to Question Blank 2 of 9. (Hint: your answer should be in the form of a point (x,y).) Question Blank 3 of 9 has an absolute advantage in the production of fish, and Question Blank 4 of 9 has an absolute advantage in the production of coconuts. Carmen's opportunity cost of producing 1 coconut is Question Blank 5 of 9 fish, while Dennis' opportunity cost of producing 1 coconut is Question Blank 6 of 9 fish. Because Carmen has a Question Blank 7 of 9 opportunity cost of producing…

Mexico Tacos (in tons) 108 72 36 0 Hamburgers (in tons) 0 8 16 24 Tacos (in tons) 60 40 20 Which country has a comparative advantage in producing tacos? The United States Suppose the United States is currently producing 80 tons of hamburgers and 36 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 16 tons of hamburgers and 20 tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of additional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer) and a total of additional ton(s) of tacos can be produced.
K Tory and Patty produce skis and snowboards. The tables show their production possibilities. Each week, Tony produces 4 snowboards and 8 skis and Patty produces 15 snowboards and 30 skis.

Suppose that France and Germany both produce wine and cheese. The table below shows combinations of the goods that each country can produce in a day. France Germany Wine (Bottles) Cheese (Pounds) 16 Wine (Bottles) Cheese (Pounds) 12 8. 4. 25 20 15 2 3 3 4 10 4 Who has the comparative advantage in producing wine and who has the comparative advantage in producing cheese? O A. France has a comparative advantage producing wine and Germany has a comparative advantage producing cheese. O B. France has a comparative advantage producing wine and cheese. OC. Germany has a comparative advantage producing wine and cheese. -OD. Neither has a comparative advantage producing wine or cheese. OE. France has a comparative advantage producing cheese and Germany has a comparative advantage producing wine. Suppose that France is currently producing 1 bottle of wine and 12 pounds of cheese and Germany is currently producing 3 bottles of wine and 10 pounds of cheese. Then, assume instead that France and…
Problem 1: Production Possibilities Frontier Consider an economy that produces bicycles and autos. The production possibilities schedule shown below denotes the points on the production possibilities frontier. Points Amount Bicycles Amount Autos A 10 B 8 D E 5 8 12 14 15 a) Draw the production possibilities frontier in a clearly labelled graph. You can assume the points on the frontier are connected by straight lines. Please put bicycles on the x-axis and autos on the y-axis. b) Is point E more efficient in production than point C? Explain. c) Based on this production possibility frontier, can the economy currently produce 8 bicycles and 10 autos? If not, explain what would need to happen to allow the economy to produce 8 bicycles and 10 autos. d) True/False/Uncertain (and explain): Point B more efficient in allocation than point A. e) Does this production frontier have increasing opportunity costs? Explain, and also explain why it is common for production frontiers to have increasing…
