Consider Babs and Donna, who can each produce cake, beer, or some combination of the two using only 40 hours of labor each. Babs can produce a maximum of 50 cakes if she produces no beer, and 100 units of beer if she produces no cake. Donna can produce a maximum of 100 cakes with no beer produced; if she makes no cake, she can produce 120 units of beer. Calculate donnas opportunity cost for a cake

Kiran and Amna live in IBA hostel. They own a small business in which they make brownies and pasta and sell them to people on campus. As shown in the table on the following page, Kiran can make 30 brownies per hour but only 6 bowls of pasta. Amna is a bit slower and can make only 24 brownies or 4 bowls of pasta in an hour Suppose that Kristen and Anna can sell all their brownies for PKR10 each and all their pasta bowls for PKR 50 each. If each of them worked 20 hours per week, how should they split their time between brownies and pasta? What is their maximum joint revenue?
Krisha can pick 4 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 2 pounds of nuts. Tom can pick 2 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 4 pounds of nuts. Each works 6 hours per day. Together, what is the maximum number of pounds of coffee beans the two can pick in a day? What is the maximum number of pounds of nuts the two can gather in a day? Maximum amount of coffee beans pounds per day Maximum amount of nuts pounds per day Now suppose Krisha and Tom were gathering the maximum number of pounds of nuts when they decided that they would like to begin picking 8 pounds of coffee beans per day. Who would pick the coffee beans? How many pounds of nuts would they still be able to gather? Would it be possible for Krisha and Tom in total to gather 26 pounds of nuts and pick 20 pounds of coffee beans each day? If so, how much of each good should each person pick? The combination of 30 pounds of coffee beans and 12 pounds of nuts per day is show Krisha and Tom's combined daily PPC.

Refer to the production possibility frontiers for two friends Frodo and Sam who can both produce Ice creams and Jelly beans. Frodo's maximum production of Ice creams is 500 with no Jelly beans, or 2,000 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. Sam's maximum production of Ice creams is 600 with no Jelly beans, or 1,200 Jelly beans with no Ice creams. ICE CREAMS ICE CREAMS 600 500 1200 JELLY BEANS 2000 JELLY BEANS Frodo' PPF Sam's PPF Answer briefly these TWO questions in the box space provided below. Part A: Assuming efficient production without trade, derive the maximum amount of Jelly beans that can be produced by Sam along with 300 Ice creams. Describe your steps in detail. Part B: Assume that Frodo and Sam agree to specialize in production and trade between themselves. Frodo offers 1,000 Jelly beans to Sam in exchange for 300 lce creams. Would Sam agree to this trade?

Q35 Statement for Q36-Q41 Kayla and Josel produce food and luxury goods. Kayla has 10 hours; it takes her 1 hour to produce 1 unit of food and 2 hours to produce 1 unit of luxury goods. Josel has 20 hours; for the first 8 hours of producing food, it takes him 2 hours to produce 1 unit of food. Then, beyond 8 hours, Josel is less productive and it takes him 4 hours to produce 1 additional unit of food. It takes Josel 2 hours to produce 1 unit of luxury goods no matter how many hours are allocated into the production of luxury goods. MAKE SURE YOU REFER TO THE ABOVE STATEMENT FOR QUESTIONS 36-41 Save Answer Q36 Suppose that Kayla and Josel trade only with each other, and agree to the following terms of trade: 2 units of food in exchange for 3 units of luxury goods.

A company that produces brass hardware for doors has the ability to produce up to 6,500 hinges per week but then is unable to produce doorknobs. Or it can produce up to 650 doorknobs per week but then is unable to produce any hinges. In the graph below, use the straight-line tool to draw the company's production possibilities frontier, where the quantities are per week (do not use the point tool to plot endpoints). Then use the point tool to plot a point to indicate the company's maximum output where it is producing exactly three times as many hinges as doorknobs.
