Amanda and Raj are both students working part-time at an insurance company. Amanda can work only 5 hours a day. Her manager informs her that she needs to review 250 documents and process 250 insurance claims in the next 10 days. Amanda can either review 30 documents in 1 hour or process 5 insurance claims. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw a production possibilities curve for Amanda that represents a day of work. Label your curve 'Amanda.' Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. The slope of the curve is. (Round your response to two decimal places.) Her opportunity cost of reviewing one document is claim(s). (Round your response to two decimal places.)

This question is a file-upload question. Work your answer in a piece of paper, take a picture with your phone and upload the file. Using the table below answer the following: Points Soda Pizza A 10 В 1 6 3 a) Draw a PPF map (put soda in the vertical axis and pizza in the horizontal axis), showing all the points on the PPF. b) What is the opportunity cost of an extra pizza when you are on segment AB? What about when you are at segment CD? (i.e., how many sodas you have to give up in order to get an extra pizza? SHOW YOUR WORK!) c) What is your PPF's shape? Is it a straight line or does it have a bowed outward shape? Justify! d) Suppose that there is a new technology that affects ONLY the production of soda. Illustrate this effect on your PPF map.
Consider the graph. Suppose the economy is currently at a point E on the production possibilities curve producing a units of services and b units of goods. After technological development raises the maximum amount of goods that can be produced by the economy, the economy moves to point E', producing a' and b' units of services and goods respectively. Which of the following situation is possible? Select all that apply. a. At E', a' = a and b' > b b. At E', a' > a and b' = b c. At E', a' > a and b' > b d. At E', a' < a and b' > b e. At E', a' < a and b' < b
