- What is the per-unit opportunity cost of product Y as production moves from point D to point A?Suppose an economy uses two resouces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Capital is relatively more useful in producing cloth, and labor is relatively more useful in producing wheat. If the supply of capital falls by 10 persent and the supply of labor increases by 10 percent, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?Suppose the United States produces only two goods: alfalfa and computers. The following graph shows the United States’s current production possibilities frontier, along with six output combinations represented by black points (plus symbols) labeled A to F. Complete the following table by indicating whether each point represents output combinations that are inefficient, efficient, attainable, or unattainable. Check all that apply. (refer to screenshot for table and graph)
- Suppose Sansa and Arya divide their time between making daggers and shields. It takes Sansa 6 hours to make a dagger and 3 hours to make a shield, and it takes Arya 3 hours to make a dagger and 1 hour to make a shield. Sansa and Arya each work 30 hours a week. a. What is the maximum number of daggers each can make in a week? daggers per week Arya: daggers per week b. What is the opportunity cost to each of making a dagger? Sansa's opportunity cost of making a dagger: Arya's opportunity cost of making a dagger: c. Who has the comparative advantage in making daggers? Sansa: Neither Sansa O Arya shields Arya Neither Sansa shields d. Who has the absolute advantage in making daggers?What would it mean if the production possibilities Frontier (PPF) were bowed inward (convex),as opposed to bowed outward (concave)? Clearly explain your answer, using diagrams and examples.The opportunity cost on a Production Possibilities Frontier in moving from one point to another can be calculated by taking the Sacrifice, and dividing it by the Gain. Select one: True False
- Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Yosemite. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per day that can be used to produce chinos, pistachios, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of chinos or pistachios that can be produced by one hour of labor. Country Sequoia Yosemite Chinos Pistachios (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) 4 16 10 is 5 Suppose that initially Yosemite uses 1 million hours of labor per day to produce chinos and 3 million hours per day to produce pistachios, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per day to produce chinos and 1 million hours per day to produce pistachios. As a result, Sequoia produces 12 million pairs of chinos and 16 million pounds of pistachios, and Yosemite produces 5 million pairs of chinos and 30 million pounds of pistachios. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each…Consider an economy that has a labor endowment of L = 40 units. The production functions are x = 0.5L, and y = 4Ly, where x and y are consumption goods while L, and Ly represent the labor allocation. What is the equation for the PPF? 8x + y = 160 6x + 2y = 80 6x + y = 120 8x + 2y = 80Consider graph PPC2 above. Assume the initial PPC has intercepts at points F and E. What might cause the economy to produce at point G (without having the PPC shift in)? Supporting Materials Capital goods 800 550 F G B H 1,100 1,300 Consumer goods an earthquake that destroys many factories unemployment of labor it is not possible for the economy to be at point G a fall in demand for consumer goods
- Consider two neighboring island countries called Arcadia and Euphoria. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce rye, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of rye or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Arcadia Euphoria Rye (Bushels per hour of labor) 8 5 Jeans (Pairs per hour of labor) 16 20 Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Arcadia produces 8 million bushels of rye and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Euphoria produces 15 million bushels of rye and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of rye and jeans it produces. of jeans, and…Suppose that the economy in the Jatinagor area has a Production Possible Limit with the equation X² + 4Y² = 64. Calculate what the value of X is if Y = 0 and what is the value of Y if X = 0 What is the opportunty cost of X if Y is constant in the economy or does it depend on the levels of output produced? Explain!The table below shows the number of labor minutes it takes for each employee to produce one pizza and one salad. Compare all 3 employees to one another and determine which one of the following statements is true? Select one: a. Carter has a comparative advantage in making Salad b. Carter has an absolute advantage in both products c. Melanie has a comparative advantage in making Pizza d. Jackson has a comparative advantage in making Salad e. Melanie has a comparative advantage in making Salad f. Jackson has an absolute advantage in both products g. Carter has a comparative advantage in making Pizza
