If he only concentrates on hisacademics then he will produce 12 "study units" and produceno "debate units". If he only concentrates on debate then hewill produce 12 "debate units" and produce no "study units".Lets assume that William is a one-person economy.38.56.4.3101112Problem 1Graphically show William's production possibilities frontier. Debate should be on the vertical axis.Label four polints on the graph: (A) a point inside the PPF: (B) a point on the PPF where debate ismore valued than studying: (C) a point on the PPF where studying is more valued than debate; (D) apoint outside the PPF. Problem 2Explain the effects of an economy at point AExplain the effects of an economy at point BExplain the effects of an economy at point CExplain the effects of an economy at point at point D (assume that nothing in our economy changes)Problem 3What is the opportunity cost of studying?What is the opportunity cost debating?Why is the PPF slope downward rather than upward?Does our PPF experience the law of increasing opportunity cost? How do we know? Under whatconditions can we have a linear PPF rather than a "bowed-out" PPF? Sketch a PPF that experiencesIncreasing opportunity cost and a PPF that experiences constant opportunity cost.

Problem 1: Production Possibilities Frontier Consider an economy that produces bicycles and autos. The production possibilities schedule shown below denotes the points on the production possibilities frontier. Points Amount Bicycles Amount Autos A 10 B 8 D E 5 8 12 14 15 a) Draw the production possibilities frontier in a clearly labelled graph. You can assume the points on the frontier are connected by straight lines. Please put bicycles on the x-axis and autos on the y-axis. b) Is point E more efficient in production than point C? Explain. c) Based on this production possibility frontier, can the economy currently produce 8 bicycles and 10 autos? If not, explain what would need to happen to allow the economy to produce 8 bicycles and 10 autos. d) True/False/Uncertain (and explain): Point B more efficient in allocation than point A. e) Does this production frontier have increasing opportunity costs? Explain, and also explain why it is common for production frontiers to have increasing…

4. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose the fictional country of Olympia produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for rye, an agricultural good, and microprocessors, 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 microprocessors. 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. ?

On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Nick's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Rosa's PPF. Nick and Rosa are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. Corn Rye Nick 12 3 Rosa 15 5 (ROSA OR NICK) has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, and (ROSA OR NICK) has an absolute advantage in the production of rye. Nick's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is__________bushels of corn, whereas Rosa's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is_________ bushels of corn. Because Nick has a(HIGHER OR LOWER) opportunity cost of producing rye than Rosa, (NICK OR ROSA) has a comparative advantage in the…

Assume you are pursuing a bachelor’s degree and you have 40 hours to divide between work and school in a week. You choose the amount of time you spend on each based on the classes you take and the hours you request at work. The degree will take you 3 years to complete if you dedicate 40 hours a week and do not take summers off. Obviously, if you devote no time to school, you never get your degree. Use the chart below to draw the Production Possibilities Frontier with work time on the Y axis and school time on the X axis.
