Huang Min Labor Hours Needed Quantity Produced to Make 1 in 36 Hours Parasol Plate 2 6 2 4 Parasol 18 18 Plate 6 9 Refer to Table 3-8. Which of the following points would be on Min's production possibilities frontier, based on a 36-hour production period? (3 parasols, 8 plates) (8 parasols, 5 plates) (11 parasols, 4 plates) More than one of the above would be on Min's production possibilities frontier.

6. Relationship between returns to scale, isoquants, production frontiers, and cost curves The following graph shows two isoquants that represent the firm's production technology. One of the isoquants shows all of the possible combinations of labor and capital that can produce 300 units of output (q = 300), but you must determine the other isoquant's quantity given the information that follows. CAPITAL 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 LABOR 60 70 80 ¹9, = 300 90 100 Suppose the firm's production process exhibits decreasing returns to scale. Based on the graph, the level of output represented by the second isoquant is q2 =
Assume that Pablo and Micah can switch between producing baseballs and producing bats at a constant rate. Labor Hours Needed Quantity Produced in 36 Hours to Make 1 bat bat baseball 1 baseball 36 Pablo 3 12 Micah 2 36 18 Refer to Table 3-8. At which of the following prices would both Pablo and Micah gain from trade with each other? O a 15 baseballs for 10 bats Ob. 15 baseballs for 6 bats Oc 15 baseballs for 3 bats Od Pablo and Micah could not both gain from trade with each other at any price.
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?
25. Assuming labor is the only resource and England has 60 man-hours (mhrs) and Portugal 180 mhrs of labor resource available for production, which country has the comparative advantage in wine? a) Portugal b) England c) Both d) Neither e) Cannot tell
3. We often work with production technologies that give rise to initially increasing marginal product of labor that eventually decreases. Are the following statements then True or False? Explain.The marginal product of labor is positive so long as the slope of the production frontier is positive.
Country Denali Congaree Suppose that initially Denali uses 1 million hours of labor per day to produce shorts and 3 million hours per day to produce almonds, while Congaree uses 3 million hours of labor per day to produce shorts and 1 million hours per day to produce almonds. As a result, Denali produces 6 million pairs of shorts and 36 million pounds of almonds, and Congaree produces 12 million pairs of shorts and 16 million pounds of almonds. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of shorts and almonds it produces. Shorts Almonds (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) 6 12 16 Denali's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of shorts is of almonds. Therefore, comparative advantage in the production of almonds. 4 Suppose that each country completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good.
