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…
