Question 1 Suppose a British Columbia has a total of 12 units of labour, which can be used to produce either computer or wheat. One computer takes 6 units of labour to produce and 100 kg wheat takes 2 units of labour to produce. (a) Explain why scarcity exists in this economy. Use the data as evidence of your reasoning. (b) What is the maximum quantity of computers that can be produced? (c) What is the maximum quantity of wheat than can be produced? (

Alex is a hard-working college sophomore. One Saturday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 50 practice problems for his economics course. He starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of his progress throughout the day. He notices that as he gets tired, it takes him longer to solve each problem. Time Total Problems Answered 8:00 AM 0 9:00 AM 20 10:00 AM 35 11:00 AM 45 Noon 50 Use the table to answer the following questions. The marginal, or additional, gain from Alex’s second hour of work, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, is problems. The marginal gain from Alex’s fourth hour of work, from 11:00 AM to noon, is problems.

Figure 1 The production possibility frontier ABCDE is a production possibility frontier. It shows the different combinations of goods which can be produced if all resources are fully and efficiently utilised. The economy can produce at any point on the line. It cannot produce at G because the PPF shows the maximum that can be produced. It can produce within the PPF,05 such as at F, but less will be produced than the maximum possible.
