A production possibilities curve (PPC) represents the maximum amount of two goods or services produced by manufacturers in an economy. Draw a correctly labeled PPC for U.S. production of consumer and capital goods. 2. Policymakers enact an investment tax credit for firms that finance technological research and development. Assuming producers of both consumer and capital goods are affected, illustrate on your PPC the long-term effects of this tax credit. 3. Using a correctly labeled graph of the long-run aggregate supply curve, show how the natural rate of output would respond to the tax credit in the long run. Explain.
1. Describe and illustrate what a Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) for a two good economy looks like, which if it used all its resources, can produce either 300 units of national security or 140 units of health care, or some combination of the two. 2. Explain what the opportunity cost is and calculate it for this example (assume constant opportunity cost).
Given a production possibilities curve for investment goods and consumption goods, which of the following statements is true? Select one: a. A production point outside the current curve may be attained if the opportunity cost of producing an extra unit of the good measured on the horizontal axis remains constant. b. Acquiring a new technology would push the PPF inwards towards the origin. c. A production point outside the current curve can be efficiently produced with the current level of resources and technology, if the marginal cost of producing one more unit of consumption goods equals the marginal benefit. d. A production point below the PPF suggests that more of both goods can be produced with current resources and technology. e. Shifting resources to make more consumption goods is likely to enable attainment of a production point outside the current curve.

1a. What is a Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF)? Consider an economy with only two goods: guns and butter. Show the tradeoff between the production of guns and the production of butter by drawing a (bowed outward) PPF (use gun production on the horizontal axis and butter production on the vertical axis). b. In what ways does the PPF reflect: i. scarcity and choice; and ii. increasing opportunity cost? c. How would the PPF be affected by a technological improvement in the production of guns?

The graph to the right depicts an economy, Home, which produces flowers and soybeans. Its production possibilities frontier is shown as TT. One of Home's isovalue lines is also shown as VV. Ps = $2 ... the price of a unit of soybeans Q = 5 ... the number of units of soybeans currently being produced at point X P $2... the price of a unit of flowers = Q₁ = 5... the number of units of flowers currently being produced at point X. What is the significance of Home operating at point X on the graph to the right? A. It maximizes Home's value of output. B. It minimizes Home's total cost of production. OC.

5 Three Goods Consider a pure exchange economy with three goods: x1, x2 and x3. Consumer A’s utility function is U A = min {x1, x2}. He starts with one unit of x1 and none of the other goods. Consumer B’s utility function is U B = min {x2, x3}. He starts with one unit of x2 and none of the other goods. Consumer C’s utility function is U C = min {x1, x3}. He starts with one unit of x3 and none of the other goods. Find the general equilibrium prices and allocation
