Suppose the fictional country of Everglades produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for millet, an agricultural good, and electric scooters, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a breakout of avian flu that sickens millions of workers. 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.

Production possibilities represent the various combinations of two goods that can be produced given (a) fixed resources and (b) fixed technology. All combinations on the production possibilities curve represent the full-utilization of resources. Any point inside the production possibilities curve indicates that resources are under-utilized and more output could be produced with the available resources. Any point outside the production possibilities curve indicates that the available resources can't support the production of the given output combination. At full-utilization of resources, the only way to increase the production of both goods is by shifting the production possibilities curve. Now consider my backyard garden. I have 100 square feet of allocated space for the vegetable garden which is my fixed resource. for simplicity, I am growing only two vegetables: tomatoes and eggplant. If I grow all tomatoes, I can get a total of 10lbs, and if I grow all eggplant 8lbs. By producing…
Suppose an economy produces two goods: food and machines. this economy always operates on its productions possibilities frontier. last year it produced 50 units of food and 30 machines. This year and experience a Technological advance and it’s machine making industry. As a result of this year the society wants to produce 55 units of food and 30 machines which of the following statements is true? A) The technological advance reduced the amount of resources needed to produce 30 machines. These resources could be used to produce more food. B) because the technological advance occurred in the machine making industry increases and output can only occur in the machine industry. C) in order to increase food production in these circumstances without reducing machine production the economy must reduce inefficiencies. I need help with understanding this.
Below is a table of production possibilities for a company that produces soft drink bottles and juice bottles (in thousands of units per week): Production alternatives production type A B C D E F Set of 8 soft drink bottles 0 4 10 15 19 22 12 juice box 58 56 48 32 16 0 Plot this data on a graph. What specific assumptions are represented by this production possibilities curve? If a firm is at point C, what is the opportunity cost of an additional set of soft drinks? From an extra juice box? If the company characterized in this table produced 7 sets of 8 bottles of soda and 40 cases of 12 juices, what could be concluded about the use of available resources? Is production currently possible at a point outside the production possibilities curve? Explain your answer.

3. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose the United States produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities curve (also known as the production possibilities curve) for corn, an agricultural good, and airplanes, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities curve (PPC) on the graph to show the effects of an improvement in soil quality because of new fertilization techniques. 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 vill 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. 420 350 PPC 280 210 140 70 + PPC 40 80 120 160 200 240 CORN (Millions of bushels) AIRPLANES (Thous ands)
Justin has 5 days in a work week; each day he can create either 2 Android apps or 1 Apple app. Pallas also has 5 days to work; each day she can produce either 2 Android apps or 3 Apple apps. Using the line drawing tool, draw the production possibilities curve (PPC) for Justin in the adjacent graph titled "Justin's PPC". Label your curve appropriately. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Using the line drawing tool, draw the production possibilities curve (PPC) for Pallas in the adjacent graph titled "Pallas's PPC". Label your curve appropriately. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Using the mulitpoint curve drawing tool,draw the single production possibilities curve (PPC) for both Justin and Pallas in the adjacent graph titled "Joint PPC". Label your curve appropriately. (Hit the "Esc" key after you have plotted your last point to exit the drawing tool) Carefully follow the…
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? Solve all this question......you will not solve all questions then I will give you down?? upvote..

4. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose the fictional country of Olympia produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for rye, an agricultural good, and microprocessors, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a time-saving innovation in the manufacturing of microprocessors. 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. ?
