**Understanding Ireland's Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF)**Suppose Ireland produces only two goods: barley and cars. The following graph illustrates Ireland's current Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF), showcasing six output combinations represented by black points (plus symbols) labeled A to F.**Graph Analysis:**The graph has two axes:- The y-axis represents **Cars (in millions)**.- The x-axis represents **Barley (in millions of bushels)**.**Points on the Graph:**- **Point A**: Located at approximately 90 million bushels of barley and 30 million cars.- **Point B**: Located at approximately 50 million bushels of barley and 70 million cars.- **Point C**: Located at approximately 10 million bushels of barley and 10 million cars.- **Point D**: Located at approximately 10 million bushels of barley and 30 million cars.- **Point E**: Located on the PPF curve at approximately 46 million bushels of barley and 36 million cars.- **Point F**: Located on the PPF curve at approximately 60 million bushels of barley and 10 million cars.**PPF Curve:**- The PPF curve shows the maximum possible output combinations of barley and cars that Ireland can achieve, given the resources and technology available. Points E and F lie on this curve, indicating efficient production points where resources are fully utilized.- Points lying inside the curve, such as D and C, indicate underutilization of resources (inefficiency).- Points lying outside the curve, such as B and A, represent unattainable combinations with the current resources and technology.**Interpretation:**The concept of the PPF illustrates the trade-offs between the production of two goods. Moving along the PPF involves shifting resources between the production of barley and cars, highlighting opportunity costs. For example, producing more barley involves sacrificing some car production and vice versa.Understanding the PPF helps in understanding the efficient allocation of resources, the opportunity cost of production choices, and the potential for economic growth and increased production capabilities through advancements in technology or resource availability. ### Efficiency and Attainability of Output CombinationsComplete the following table by indicating whether the output combination each point represents is inefficient, efficient, attainable, or unattainable.(**Note:** Check all that apply.)| **Point** | **Inefficient** | **Efficient** | **Attainable** | **Unattainable** ||:--------:|:---------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:|:----------------:|| A | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ || B | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ || C | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ || D | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ || E | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ || F | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ | ☐ |#### Instructions: - Check the boxes corresponding to the categories (inefficient, efficient, attainable, unattainable) for each point (A, B, C, D, E, F). - A point can be categorized under multiple categories if applicable.

10. Problems and Applications Q4 Suppose that there are 10 million workers in Canada and that each of these workers can produce either 2 cars or 30 bushels of wheat in a year. The opportunity cost of producing a car in Canada is 15 is 1/15 cars. Use the blue line (circle symbol) to draw Canada's production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the consumption bundle Canada can achieve without trade if it chooses to consume 10 million cars. (?)

Suppose that in the country of England, two goods can be produced on available agricultural land: wine and wool. Suppose that the opportunity costs of production are constant, so that the PPF is a straight line. Further, when all resources are devoted to wine production, England can produce 200 (thousand) barrels. When all resources are devoted to wool production, England can produce 400 (thousand) bushels of wool. What are the opportunity costs in England of producing a barrel of wine?
