Q.3. Figure below shows the production possibilities frontier for a music processing plant that can produce both compact disks and cassettes. What is the opportunity cost of moving from point B to C? Compact Disks (CDs) per Hour 180 120 60 T I 50 B 80 100 Cassettes per Hour
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…
Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Denall. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce almonds, shorts, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of almonds or shorts that can be produced by one hour of labor. Almonds Country (Pounds per hour of labor) Sequoia Denall Suppose that initially Denall uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 3 million hours per week to produce shorts, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 1 million hours per week to produce shorts. As a result, Sequola produces 12 million pounds of almonds and 16 million pairs of shorts, and Denall produces 6 million pounds of almonds and 36 million pairs of shorts. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of almonds and shorts it produces.…
Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Everglades and Denali. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per day that can be used to produce shorts, almonds, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of shorts or almonds that can be produced by one hour of labor. Country Shorts Almonds (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) Everglades 4 16 Denali 6 12 Suppose that initially Denali uses 1 million hours of labor per day to produce shorts and 3 million hours per day to produce almonds, while Everglades uses 3 million hours of labor per day to produce shorts and 1 million hours per day to produce almonds. As a result, Everglades produces 12 million pairs of shorts and 16 million pounds of almonds, and Denali produces 6 million pairs of shorts and 36 million pounds of almonds. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two…
Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Corn Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Felicidad 5 20 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Felicidad produces 15 million bushels of corn 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…
Macmillan Learning The accompanying graph shows the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Rubberland. Rubberland only makes two products, rubber band balls and rubber hoses. The PPF shows the quantities of rubber band balls and rubber hoses Rubberland can produce in one day. Point A represents the combination of the two goods Rubberland currently produces. When a new method of rubber processing is discovered, the productivity of all Rubberland's inputs increases. Shift the PPF to show this change. Assume that Rubberland does not make more rubber band balls than it originally made at point A but still maximizes its output. Move point A to the new combination of the two goods. How many more rubber hoses does Rubberland now produce per day than before? Quantity of rubber band balls 200 180 160 140 120 100 Rubberland's Production Possibilities A 80 60 40 642 20 PPF 0 0 10 30 20 40 50 60 70 Quantity of rubber hoses 80 90 100 80 20 more hoses per day

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 €
Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Congaree and Yosemite. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce almonds, shorts, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of almonds or shorts that can be produced by one hour of labor.
Assume there are only two goods in the world: pizza and electric fans. Draw a production possibility frontier (PPF) illustrating the trade-off between the two (specific numbers are not needed – we are only looking for the basic shape of the PPF). On the same graph, draw new frontiers showing 1) what happens if a major plague reduced worldwide population significantly, and 2) if a machine is invented which doubles the number of fans that can be made in a day (but is irrelevant in the production of pizza).
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.

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.
