Two neighboring island nations, Seychelles and Mauritius, produce iPad's, coffee, or a combination of both. Suppose that they each have 4 million labor hours available per week for production. The following table gives the amount of each product that can be produced using one hour of labor: Country Mauritius Seychelles Mauritius' opportunity cost of produing 1 iPad is iPads (per hour of labor) 12 of coffee. Therefore, 8 Initially, suppose Mauritius uses 1 million hours per week to produce iPads and 3 million hours per week to produce coffee, while Seycheles uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce iPads and 1 million hours per week to produce coffee. Consequently, Mauritius produces 12 million iPads and 72 million pounds of coffee, and Seychelles produces 24 million iPads and 32 million pounds of coffee. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade with them. So, if Mauritius and Seychelles don't trade with each other, they can only consume what they can produce using…
Bob and Cho are farmers. Each one owns a 20-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre.

need help with macroeconomic question 23. A Malthusian and a modern economist walk into a bar and converse as follows: MALTHUSIAN: I bet you $1,000 that I can make the average patron in this bar wealthier with a simple trick.MODERN ECONOMIST: I agree to your bet, and bet you $2,000 that I can do a better job.Thus, the Malthusian proceeds to murder half of the patrons, cleanly disposing of their bodies. The modern economist, on the other hand, replaces the bartender with a robot. How can we explain this ridiculous situation?(A) The Malthusian believes that killing people raises per-capita wealth, while the economist believes that technological improvements raise per-capita wealth.(B) The Malthusian believes that the agricultural commodities used in beer are scarce, and should be preserved; the modern economist believes that technological im- provements raise per-capita wealth.(C) There is no underlying logic to their actions.(D) The Malthusian and modern economists are both soyjacks…

Suppose the fictional country of Biscayne produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for sorghum, an agricultural good, and electric scooters, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a time-saving innovation in the manufacturing of electric scooters. 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.

Q. 4 The goal of this assignment is to think about the Productions Possibilities Frontier model and use it to describe a trade-off that you personally have experienced. You will have to identify two simultaneously produced economic outputs (goods, services, benefits, etc.) and the relationship between them. You will need to draw a graph and give information about the graph you made. Each point on the graph is a unique production point representing an amount of health care and military (H and M). We know that the set of production points possible is limited, given our limited resources in society. We can't have infinite amounts of H and M, so naturally, our representation of a productive economy must have a boundary where we have reached our productive capacity.
