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…
Ron can either workout or make sushi rolls. It takes him 40 minutes to finish 1 workout and 20 minutes to make 1 sushi roll. If he has 120 minutes to do these two activities, what is the equation of the production possibility frontier (PPF) that describes the tradeoff between these two activities? (Assume workouts are on the x axis and sushi rolls are on the y axis) A y=6-2x B y=3-0.5x C y=3-2x D y=6-0.5x

Suppose two countries, France and Germany, use only capital and labor for production. Factor endowments of the nations are presented in the table below. Capital | Labor France 2200 800 Germany 880 220 a. Which country is labor-abundant? Which country is capital-abundant? b. Assume that both countries produce two goods, cars and wine. If cars are capital-intensive and wines are labor-intensive, which country should specialize in the production of cars? Which country should specialize in the production of wines? Explain why?
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?
Suppose the United States produces only two goods: alfalfa and computers. The following graph shows the United States’s current production possibilities frontier, along with six output combinations represented by black points (plus symbols) labeled A to F. Complete the following table by indicating whether each point represents output combinations that are inefficient, efficient, attainable, or unattainable. Check all that apply.

A nation’s residents can allocate their scarce resources either to producing consumption goods or to producing human capital – that is providing themselves with training and education. The table below displays the production possibilities for this nation: Production Combination Units of Consumption Goods Units of Human Capital A 0 100 B 10 97 C 20 90 D 30 75 E 40 55 F 50 30 G 60 0 Suppose that the nation’s residents currently produce combination “A”. What is the opportunity cost of increasing production of consumption goods by 10 units? By 60 units? Does the law of increasing additional cost hold true for this nation? Why or why not?
