Anation with fixed quantities of resources is able to produce any of the following combinations of carpet and carpet looms Production Possibility Frontier Yards of carpet (Millions) Carpet looms (Thousands) 43 75 60 20 45 35 30 45 15 50 50 24- These figures assume that a certain number of previously produced looms are available in the current period for producing carpet. 1.) Using the multipoint curve drawing tool, plot the six points that make up the PPF given in the table above (with carpet on the vertical axis). Properly label your curve. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. 45 Carpet (millions) 15 30 60 75 (spuesnou) suoo| jade)
The following diagram is the feasible set of a student, showing the combinations of her final grade and the hours of free time per day. 100 90 A 80 70 60 40 30 Feasible set 20 10 13 14 19 20 24 Hours of free time per day A E F Free time 13 14 19 20 Grade 84 81 57 50 Opportunity cost 7 Based on this information, we can say that: Points A and C are on the feasible frontier, while at B she can get a higher а. grade for the same hours of free time compared to C. Therefore the student will choose B. b. At D, the student is able to attain a higher grade but has less free time compared to C. Whether she would choose C or D then depends on her preferences. c. The marginal rate of transformation at F is 7, meaning that the student can "transform" one hour of free time into 7 extra points on her grade. d. At E, the student can attain the grade of 84 for 14 hours of free time. Therefore for one extra hour of studying, she can increase her grade by 2.5 points. Final exam mark
Assume an economy producing only two goods (shoes and computers) with a fixed amount of productive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum.Production in this economy is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns and resourcesare assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers andvice versa is 1. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, answer the following questions: Why are points outside the frontier unattainable?
Suppose Clancy is currently using combination D, producing one boat per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second boat per day is______ per day. Now, suppose Clancy is currently using combination C, producing two boats per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third boat per day is _______ per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Clancy increases his production of boats, his opportunity cost of producing one more boat ___________ . Suppose Clancy buys a new tool that enables him to produce twice as many boats per hour as before, but it doesn't affect his ability to produce kites. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his new PPF on the previous graph. Because he can now make more boats per hour, Clancy's opportunity cost of producing kites is higher than or lower than it was previously.

(Ch 03) Homework Consider two neighboring island countries called Dolorium and Bellissima. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Corn Jeans Country (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Dolorium 5 20 Bellissima 8 16 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Dolorium uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Dolorium produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans, and Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of corn and…
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?
Alice and Bob each produce haircuts and landscaping services. Alice can provide 4 haircuts in one hour. Bob can provide 2 haircuts in one hour. It takes Alice 2 hours to landscape an acre of property. It takes Bob 1 hour to landscape an acre of property. Assume Alice and Bob both work a standard 8 hour day. Which of the following must be true? check all that apply Bob has a lower opportunity cost in producing landscaping services Alice has a lower opportunity cost of producing haircuts if they spent the same number of hours cutting hair, Alice would be able to produce more than Bob if they spent the same number of hours landscaping, Bob would be able to landscape more property than Alice
Production possibilities for two producers and merchants, Eric and Stan, are shown in the table below. Suppose both Eric and Stan are initially independent producers. Eric is producing 160 loaves of bread and 20 logs of wood. Stan is producing 120 logs of wood and 30 loaves of bread. Eric's Production Possibilities (monthly) Bread (loaves) Wood (logs) Stan's Production Possibilities (monthly) Bread (loaves) Wood (logs) 200 0 150 0 160 20 120 30 120 40 90 60 80 60 60 90 40 0 80 100 30 0 120 150 Eric and Stan are considering an arrangement of specialization and trade. If they specialize according to comparative advantage and agree on a trade of 30 loaves of bread for 20 logs of wood, then OA. Eric will have the same number of loaves of bread, but he will have more logs of wood. OB. Stan will have the same number of logs of wood, but he will have more loaves of bread. OC. Stan will produce 150 logs of wood, keep 130, and trade 20 to Eric in exchange for 30 loaves of bread. OD. Eric will…
Ahmed the Nigerian guy can produce any of the following combinations of clay pots (P) and jute bags (J): (a) 100 P and 0 J; (b) 50 P and 25 J; (c) 0 P and 50 J. Adib the Bangladeshi guy on the other hand can produce the following combinations of clay pots and jute bags: (a) 50 P and 0 J; (b) 25 P and 40 J; (c) 0 P and 80 J. Who has the comparative advantage in the production of clay pots? Of jute? Explain and show the calculations clearly.
Consider the following scenario to understand the relationship between marginal and average values. Suppose Sam is a professional basketball player, and his game log for free throws can be summarized in the following table. Fill in the columns with Sam's free-throw percentage for each game and his overall free-throw average after each game. Game Result Total Game Free-Throw Percentage Average Free-Throw Percentage Game 1 8/10 80 12/20 14/28 16/32 22/40 2 3 4 5 8/10 4/10 2/8 2/4 6/8 80 On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot Sam's free-throw percentage for each game individually, and use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his overall average free-throw percentage after each game. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.
Suppose Kevin is currently using combination D, producing one train per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second train per day is_____per day. Now, suppose Kevin is currently using combination C, producing two trains per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third train per day is_____per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Kevin increases his production of trains, his opportunity cost of producing one more train_____. Suppose Kevin buys a new tool that enables him to produce twice as many trains per hour as before, but it doesn't affect his ability to produce kites. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his new PPF on the previous graph. Because he can now make more trains per hour, Kevin's opportunity cost of producing kites is_______it was previously.
