The table provides data on how long it takes Maia and Juanita to mow the lawn and weed the flower beds. Table: Maia and Juanita Maia Juanita Hours it takes to: Mow the lawn 3 4 Weed the flower beds 1 2 Who has a comparative advantage in weeding the flower beds? Maia because she can weed the beds more quickly. Juanita because she takes the time to weed the beds carefully. Maia because she has a lower opportunity cost. Juanita because she has a lower opportunity cost.
2. Comparative and absolute advantage David and Morgan are farmers. Each one owns an 18-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of zucchini and watermelon each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing zucchini or watermelon or to produce zucchini on some of the land and watermelon on the rest. David Morgan WATERMELON (Pounds) 180 162 On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot David's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Morgan's PPF. 144 126 108 90 72 54 36 1.8 0 Zucchini (Pounds per acre) 28 0 zucchini. 18 90 180 Watermelon (Pounds per acre) 7 6 270 360 450 540 630 720 810 900 ZUCCHINI (Pounds) David's opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of watermelon is pound of watermelon is David's PPF Morgan's PPF has an absolute advantage in the production of zucchini, and has an absolute advantage in the production of watermelon. pounds of…

2. Suppose that Happy Land produces only two goods-food and suntan oil. Its production possibilities are: Food (pounds per month) 300 200 100 0 Active Land also produces only food and suntan oil, and its production possibilities are: Food (pounds per month) 150 100 50 0 Draw the two PPFs Suntan oil (gallons per month) 0 50 100 150 Suntan oil (gallons per month) 0 100 2000 300 a. What are the opportunity costs of food and suntan oil in Happy Land? b. Why are the opportunity costs the same at each output level? c. What are the opportunity costs of food and suntan oil in Active Land? d. If each nation specialized where they have a comparative advantage; and then traded, find the acceptable ranges for trade. 1 pound of food would have to trade between which values of suntan oil? 1 pound of suntan oil would have to trade between which values of food? e. If each nation produces where they have a comparative advantage, and the terms of trade are 50 pounds of food for 75 gallons of suntan oil,…
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?

7. Two people make up a small economy producing oats and/or shirts. The table below shows the maximum each individual can produce in one day for each good (and any linear combination). Sam Lindsay Oats 300 150 Shirts 100 75 a) Who has the comparative advantage in producing Oats? In producing shirts? b) In terms of shirts, what is the cost of producing one unit of oats for Sam? For Lindsay? c) If the total number of shirts produced is 100, then how many units of oats will be produced if production takes place according to comparative advantage?
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?

Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Everglades 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 Everglades Yosemite Chinos Pistachios (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) 4 6 16 12 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 Everglades uses 3 million hours of labor per day to produce chinos and 1 million-hours per day to produce pistachios. As a result, Everglades produces 12 million pairs of chinos and 16 million pounds of pistachios, and Yosemite produces 6 million pairs of chinos and 36 million pounds of pistachios. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two…
