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…

Two neighboring island nations, Seychelles and Mauritius, produce iPad's, coffee, or a combination of both. Suppose that they each have 4 million labor hours available per week for production. The following table gives the amount of each product that can be produced using one hour of labor: Country Mauritius Seychelles Mauritius' opportunity cost of produing 1 iPad is iPads (per hour of labor) 12 of coffee. Therefore, 8 Initially, suppose Mauritius uses 1 million hours per week to produce iPads and 3 million hours per week to produce coffee, while Seycheles uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce iPads and 1 million hours per week to produce coffee. Consequently, Mauritius produces 12 million iPads and 72 million pounds of coffee, and Seychelles produces 24 million iPads and 32 million pounds of coffee. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade with them. So, if Mauritius and Seychelles don't trade with each other, they can only consume what they can produce using…
