When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFS) for Freedonia and Desonia. Both countries produce grain and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 6 million pounds of grain and 3 million pounds of tea, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

Ronald is an Economics students who likes to spend his leisure time of sixty hours a month doingone of two activities: watching movies at Dendy Cinemas Newtown (x), and indoor-climbing(y). A trip to the movies takes 3 hours, and each visit to the climbing gym lasts 5 hours.Further, suppose that Ronald has a fixed monthly monetary budget to spend on leisure activities. He currently exhausts this entire budget by watching two movies and visiting the climbinggym fifteen times. With this monthly budget, he would also have been able to afford exactlyseven movies and six visits to the climbing gym.Assume that both goods are perfectly divisible.(b) Show, using algebra, that Ronald’s two budget lines intersect at the bundle (x, y) =(5.5, 8.7).
5. Opportunity cost and production possibilities Raphael is a skilled toy maker who is able to produce both trucks and kites. He has 8 hours a day to produce toys. The following table shows the daily output resulting from various possible combinations of his time. Choice Hours Producing Produced (Trucks) (Kites) (Trucks) (Kites) A 8 0 4 0 B 6 2 3 10 C 4 4 2 16 D 2 6 1 19 E 0 8 0 20 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Raphael's initial production possibilities frontier (PPF). ( attached image) Suppose Raphael is currently using combination D, producing one truck per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second truck per day is( 1, 3, 16, 19 kites) 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 ( 1,6,10, or 16 kites) per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as…
Adjust the production possibilities frontier (PPF) to show the economy's new production possibilities after the deterioration of infrastructure. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Hi. Please help me with the 3 questions attached.
Fill in the blanks: Suppose that Jake and Jill have the ability to pick either apples or strawberries. The following table shows how much they can pick in one hour. Quantity Picked in One Hour Pounds of Apples Pounds of Strawberries Jake 8 4 Jill 10 10 If Jake and Jill each has 10 hours available and each person divides the time equally between picking apples and strawberries, then together they can pick pounds of apples and pounds of strawberries. Now if Jake spends all 10 hours picking apples and Jill spends all 10 hours picking strawberries, then together they can pick pounds of apples and pounds of strawberries.
