Once again, consider Vil and Malleus, who initially do not trade.They can produce wine, meat, or some combination of the twousing only 50 hours of labor each per week. Vil can produce500 units of wine if he produces no meat; he can produce 2000units of meat if he produces no wine. Malleus can produce 400units of wine if he produces no meat; he can produce 1200units of meat if he produces no wine.Their opportunity costs are constant, so their PPFs are straightdownward-sloping lines.In autarky, Vil used half (50%) of his time to produce meat andthe rest on wine, while Malleus spent 7/10 (70%) of his time onmeat production and the rest of his time on wine production.However, now the two have decided to trade with each other.They decide that each producer will fully specialize in the goodwhere he has comparative advantage. Later, they will work outthe details on how much meat will trade for wine and vice versa. One last time, consider the case of Vil and Malleus from theprevious questions.When Malleus starts to trade with Vil, his PPFshifts leftwardand he can now efficientlyconsume at points inside (under) or on the PPF

Suppose there are two individuals, Casey and Rick, who live in a very simplified world where only two goods are produced and consumed; rice and beans. The production opportunity cost for Casey is 4.00kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Rick has a production opportunity cost of 2.00 kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Casey eventually realizes that, through trade, both individuals can be better off. Rick is willing to trade. What price can be settled between these two parties such that both individuals can enjoy more rice and beans?
Elif can produce 6 pies or 30cakes in 1 hour. Ahmet can produce 10 pies or 20 cakes in 1 hour. On the PPF lines, show what Elif produces and what Ahmet produces when they specialize. When they specialize and trade, what are the total gains from trade? If Elif and Ahmet share the total gains equally, which quantities of pies and cakes do they trade?
20 New PPC 15 10 3 4 7. TRUCKS PER DAY Suppose Raphael is currently using combination D, producing one truck per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second truck per day is per day. Now, suppose Raphael is currently using combination C, producing two trucks per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third truck per day is per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Raphael increases his production of trucks, his opportunity cost of producing one more truck Suppose Raphael buys a new tool that allows him to produce twice as many trucks per hour as before but doesn't affect his ability to produce puzzles. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his new PPC on the previous graph. Because he can now make more trucks per hour, Raphael's opportunity cost of producing puzzles is it was previously.

Q/ Country X and Country Y are neighbours. Both Country X and Country Y can produce two goods: food and clothing. In one week, Country X can produce 4,400 clothing units or 2,200 food units, or a mix of the two. In one week, Country Y can produce 5,000 clothing units or 2,000 food units, or a mix of the two.For both Country X and Country Y, their individual trade-offs between clothing units and food units are constant, regardless of how they allocate their time. Currently, Country X produces 2,400 clothing units and 1,000 food units per week while Country Y produces 2,500 clothing units and 1,000 food units per week. c. Which country has a comparative advantage in food production? Which country has acomparative advantage in clothing production? Illustrate your answer using the PPC and showall the calculations. d. Should Country X and Country Y specialize and trade with one another? Why?
Elif can produce 6 pies or 30 cakes in 1 hour. Ahmet can produce 10 pies or 20 cakes in 1hour.a) Draw the PPF lines for Elif and Ahmet.b) If each spends 30 minutes of each hour for producing pies and 30 minutes for producing cakes, how many pies and cakes does each produce?c) What is the opportunity cost of producing pies for Elif? What is the opportunity cost of producing pies for Ahmet?d) What is the opportunity cost of producing cakes for Elif? What is the opportunity cost of producing cakes for Ahmet?e) Who has a comparative advantage in producing pies and who has a comparative advantage in producing cakes?f) On the PPF lines, show what Elif produces and what Ahmet produces when they specialize.g) Suppose that they set the exchange price as 1 Pie = 3 Cakes. If they specialize and trade, show an exchange situation that is beneficial for both (compared to the situation you found at part (b))?h) What is the minimum and maximum exchange price they could have determined for an exchange…
What is the opportunity cost in this example? “ To begin, I began selling prints of my pictures in 2019 throughout 2020. It's now closed. USPS and UPS were the options I had during this period to ship out orders. Smaller or lighter packages were more expensive to ship with UPS, but USPS provided a low-cost alternative. UPS ships more than 220 internationally, whereas; USPS is strict about shipping to specific international destinations. I have chosen USPS over UPS; by doing this, orders were delivered on time and without damage by the United States Postal Service.”
Once again, 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. has the comparative advantage in cake production; has the comparative advantage in beer production.

Vega and Sentra are two countries that both produce chicken and vegetables. In Vega each worker in a one-hour period can produce either 9.05 pounds of chicken or 5.76 pounds of vegetables. In Sentra each worker in a one-hour period can produce either 25.49 pounds of chicken or 8.17 pounds of vegetables. Suppose both countries have constant opportunity cost of production and decide to specialize and exchange. The country that specializes in vegetables is willing to sell 19 pounds of vegetables for at least pounds of chicken. Enter a numerical value, rounded to two decimal places.
Help please Level 2: Opportunity Cost, Comparative Advantage, and Specialization You have decided to specialize in gathering firewood while Friday has specialized in fishing. Your time allocation sliders are set to allocate all of your time to gathering firewood. Now, use the additional sliders to state how many logs you will trade to Friday and how many fish you want in return. You must select a trade that make both you and Friday better off than you were before specialization and trading. In other words, you must both receive more than 2000 calories of fish and 32 logs of firewood. Both you and Friday’s consumption point is displayed on the PPF graphs as you adjust the trade. There is a bar for me to slide over for fish and firewood for the number of hours (12 ohours total to be be used between both)
] Alex and Mitch are two farmers who grow vegetables on common land. Each farmer gets a benefit from the seeds that he plants, but the overall size and quality of the individual vegetables decreases as the number of seeds planted increases (since each vegetable has less room to grow and gets a smaller share of nutrients from the soil). If SA represents the total number of seeds planted by Alex and SM is the total number planted by Mitch, then the total benefit to Alex will be as follows: SA (90-SA-SM), or 90SA SA2-SASM. The marginal benefit to Alex from planting additional seeds is, therefore, equal to 90 - 2SA - SM- Assuming the marginal cost of planting is zero, the best-response function that gives the optimal number of seeds Alex should plant, as a function of the number of seeds Mitch chooses to plant, is represented by • Use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Alex's best-response function (BRF) on the following graph, with the total number of seeds he plants on the vertical…
Would the opportunity cost be a benefit to UPS shipping or a benefit to UPS international shipping for this example? “To begin, I began selling prints of my pictures in 2019 throughout 2020.
