2. Comparative and absolute advantage Elijah and Aneesha are farmers. Each one owns a 16-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of squash and maize each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing squash or maize or to produce squash on some of the land and maize on the rest. Elijah Aneesha MAIZE (Pounds) On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Elijah's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Aneesha's PPF. 160 144 128 112 96 80 64 48 32 16 0 Squash (Pounds per acre) 8 28 0 Maize (Pounds per acre) 8 7 80 160 240 320 400 480 560 640 720 800 SQUASH (Pounds) Elijah's PPF Elijah's opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of maize is maize is pounds of squash. Because Elijah has a comparative advantage in the production of maize, and Aneesha's PPF has an absolute advantage in the production of squash, and ? has an absolute advantage in the…

Which one is false? Explain why that is false. 1. The production possibilities curve is a simple device for summarizing the possible combinations of output that a society can produce if it employs its resources efficiently. 2. One person has a comparative advantage over another in the production of a good if she or he can produce more of that good than the other person. 3. The Cost-Benefit Principle says that a person should take an action if, and only if, the benefit of that action is at least as great as its cost. 4. Market equilibrium occurs when the quantity buyers demand at the market price is exactly the same as the quantity that sellers offer. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

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…

5. Opportunity cost and production possibilities Raphael is a skilled toy maker who is able to produce both trucks and kites. He has 8 hours a day to produce toys. The following table shows the daily output resulting from various possible combinations of his time. Choice Hours Producing Produced (Trucks) (Kites) (Trucks) (Kites) A 8 0 4 0 B 6 2 3 10 C 4 4 2 16 D 2 6 1 19 E 0 8 0 20 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Raphael's initial production possibilities frontier (PPF). ( attached image) Suppose Raphael is currently using combination D, producing one truck per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second truck per day is( 1, 3, 16, 19 kites) per day. Now, suppose Raphael is currently using combination C, producing two trucks per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third truck per day is ( 1,6,10, or 16 kites) per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as…
