6. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose Argentina produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities curve (PPC) for barley, an agricultural good, and airplanes, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities curve (PPC) on the graph to show the effects of a time-saving innovation in the manufacturing of airplanes. 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.

The US and France each have 100 hours of labor to allocate between producing cheese and bread. With 1 labor hour, the US can produce either 100 loaves of bread, or 1 wheel of cheese. With 1 labor hour, France can produce either 400 loaves of bread, or 2 wheels of cheese. Suppose the countries jointly decide to produce a combined amount of 45000 loaves of bread. What is the maximum amount of cheese they can jointly produce? 50 wheels O wheels 100 wheels 25 wheels Moving to another question will save this response. Question 5 of 25

Hi! I am currently stuck on this question: Suppose there is an improvement in medical technology that enables more healthcare to be provided with the same amount of resources. How would this affect the production possibilities curve and, in particular, how would it affect the opportunity cost of education? I am confused as to why education increases. I know that the medical technology would increase the PPF because of the improvement, but wouldnt that decrease the opportunity cost of education because there is more technology? Thanks!
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?

2. Consider a simple exchange economy with two people: Bob and Jake. Bob and Jake both have ten hours of time available. They can use their time to do one of two things: make pancakes or make hamburgers. Bob can make two hamburgers in an hour or one pancake in an hour. Jake can make three pancakes in an hour or four hamburgers in an hour. a.) Draw Bob and Jake’s PPFs with hamburgers on the x-axis. Give equations for both PPFs in y=mx+b form. b.) Can Bob and Jake both benefit from trade if the terms of trade are three pancakes per hamburger? Why or why not?
Figure 2 shows the PPF for an economy that produces Butter and Guns. What is the maximum amount of butter that the economy can produce if it is producing 4,800 guns? A) 10,000 B) 20,000 C) 30,000 D) 40,000
Figure 2 shows the PPF for an economy that produces Butter and Guns. Suppose the economy is currently producing 30,000 units of butter and 3,600 guns. What is the economy's opportunity cost of producing 10,000 additional units of butter? A) 600 Guns B) 1,000 Guns C) 1,400 Guns D) 1,700 Guns
