The graph to the right depicts an economy, Home, that produces both flowers and soybeans. Flowers are the labor intensive good and soybeans are the land intensive good. Home presently exports flowers. The graph also indicates Home's optimal point of production, X. Suppose that Home has acquired more land in which it can now produce 12 units of soybeans if all land were devoted toward its production. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw the new production possibilities frontier that indicates this biased growth of land in Home. Properly label this curve. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. The growth biased toward land causes OA. export-biased growth. O B. a decrease in the relative price of flowers. OC. a rightward shift of the relative supply curve. O D. import-biased growth. 16- 15- 14- 13- 12- 11- 10- 9- 7- 6- 5- Growth of a Factor Soybean output VV TT 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Flower output €

1) Suppose the U.S. government wants to stop importing foreign cars. They believe by not importing cars from other countries they will have absolute advantage in manufacturing cars, and this will help the U.S. economy. Explain what is wrong with this idea. Use a graph to illustrate your point.
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?

Hi can you please help with following questions I am not sure how to solve them please assist with question A You are the sole survivor of a shipwreck on a desert island. You do not expect to be rescued.You can either use your time to grow food to consume immediately, or to build new tools andbuildings (capital) which will increase your supply of food in future years. a) Sketch your initial production function (total output of food + capital in terms of yourlabour input), and show how to turn this into a feasible set. Show your optimal choiceof how you spend your time, assuming you initially consume everything you produce.
PC/PW < aLC/aLW What the reasoning/meaning behind the idea on how the economy will specialize in the production of cheese if the relative price of cheeses exceeds its opportunity cost?
Eleanor and her little brother Josh are responsible for two chores on their family's farm, gathering eggs and collecting milk. Eleanor can gather 18 dozen eggs or collect 6 gallons of milk per week. Josh can gather 2 dozen eggs or collect 2 gallons of milk per week. a. The family wants 2 gallons of milk per week and as many eggs as the siblings can gather. Currently, they collect one gallon of milk each and as many eggs as they can. How many dozens of eggs does the family have per week? (Click to select) ✓ dozen eggs. b. If the siblings were to specialized, which should collect the milk? (Click to select) c. If the siblings were to specialize, how many dozens of eggs would the family have per week? (Click to select) dozen eggs.
Assume that Max and Min can switch between producing mittens and producing hats at a constant rate. Labor Hours Needed to Quantity Produced in 36 Make 1 Hours Mitten Hat Mitten Hat Мах 2 18 6 Min 2 4 18 9 Refer to Table 3-6. Which of the following points is on Max's production possibilities frontier, based on a 36-hour production period? (18 mittens, 0 hats) (15 mittens, 8 hats) (16 mittens, 10 hats) (0 mittens, 12 hats)
Table 19.15 shows how the average costs of production for semiconductors (the "chips" in computer memories) change as the quantity of semiconductors built at that factory increases. a. Based on these data, sketch a curve with quantity produced on the horizontal axis and average cost of production on the vertical axis. How does the curve illustrate economies of scale? b. If the equilibrium quantity of semiconductors demanded is 90,000, can this economy take full advantage of economies of scale? What about if quantity demanded is 70,000 semiconductors? 50,000 semiconductors? 30,000 semiconductors? c. Explain how international trade could make it possible for even a small economy to take full advantage of economies of scale, while also benefiting from competition and the variety offered by several producers. Quantity of Semiconductors 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 100,000 Table 19.15 Average Total Cost $8 each $5 each $3 each $2 each $2 each
