Suppose the fictional country of Yellowstone produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for millet, 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.

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.…

+1 >> CENGAGE MINDTAP Homework: Chapter 02 3. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose France produces two types of goods: agricultural goods and capital good. The following graph shows its current production possibilities frontier (PPF) for corn, an agricultural good, and airplanes, a capital good. On the following graph, adjust the production possibilities frontier (PPF) to show the effects of an improvement in soil quality because of new fertilization techniques. Hint: 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.

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.

This question is a file-upload question. Work your answer in a piece of paper, take a picture with your phone and upload the file. Using the table below answer the following: Points Soda Pizza A 10 В 1 6 3 a) Draw a PPF map (put soda in the vertical axis and pizza in the horizontal axis), showing all the points on the PPF. b) What is the opportunity cost of an extra pizza when you are on segment AB? What about when you are at segment CD? (i.e., how many sodas you have to give up in order to get an extra pizza? SHOW YOUR WORK!) c) What is your PPF's shape? Is it a straight line or does it have a bowed outward shape? Justify! d) Suppose that there is a new technology that affects ONLY the production of soda. Illustrate this effect on your PPF map.
Consider the graph. Suppose the economy is currently at a point E on the production possibilities curve producing a units of services and b units of goods. After technological development raises the maximum amount of goods that can be produced by the economy, the economy moves to point E', producing a' and b' units of services and goods respectively. Which of the following situation is possible? Select all that apply. a. At E', a' = a and b' > b b. At E', a' > a and b' = b c. At E', a' > a and b' > b d. At E', a' < a and b' > b e. At E', a' < a and b' < b
A company that produces brass hardware for doors has the ability to produce up to 6,500 hinges per week but then is unable to produce doorknobs. Or it can produce up to 650 doorknobs per week but then is unable to produce any hinges. In the graph below, use the straight-line tool to draw the company's production possibilities frontier, where the quantities are per week (do not use the point tool to plot endpoints). Then use the point tool to plot a point to indicate the company's maximum output where it is producing exactly three times as many hinges as doorknobs.
