Production possibility curve shows ____________. a. All of these b. The output that can be produced by an economy. c. Level of output with minimum wastage of inputs d. Production of two products that are produced by an economy
4. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose the United Kingdom produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for barley, an agricultural good, and cars, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of an immigration law that results in fewer workers entering the country. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. ?

Suppose that the US economy produces agricultural products (A) and manufactured products (M). Explain and graphically illustrate the impact of each of the following events on the economy’s production possibilities curve (draw a new PPF for each, placing M on the vertical axis). a. Scientists develop a new fertilizer that will increase the productivity of land on which agricultural products are grown. b. The price of manufactured goods increases. c. Russian attacks on Ukraine devastate the Ukrainian wheat crop, increasing their demand for American wheat. d. The government increases taxes on manufactured goods.
What does a point inside the production possibilities frontier (PPF) represent? A. An efficient allocation of resources B. An underutilization of resources C. A technologically advanced production point D. An unattainable production level given current resources
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?
