The people of Leisure Island have 50 hours of labor a day that can be used to produce entertainment and good food. The table shows the maximum quantity of either entertainment or good food that Leisure Island can produce with different quantities of labor. >>> Answer to 1 decimal place below. When Leisure Island produces 40 units of entertainment and 200 units of food, the units of opportunity cost of producing an additional unit of entertainment is food. When production is 80 units of entertainment and 240 units of food a day, the opportunity cost of producing another unit of entertainment is units of food. When production is 120 units of entertainment and 200 units of food a day, the opportunity cost of producing another unit of entertainment is units of food.

The accompanying graph contains the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Rubberland. Rubberland only makes two products, rubber band balls and rubber hoses, and on a given day can produce according to the PPF in the graph. Point A on the PPF 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. Please shift the PPF to show this change. Assume that Rubberland does not make more rubber band balls than they originally made at point A but still maximize their productive capabilities. Move point A to their new production point. How many more rubber hoses do they now produce per day than before?

Suppose the fictional country of Everglades produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for millet, an agricultural good, and telephoto lenses, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a long drought that reduces the amount of water available for farmers to use for irrigation. 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.

If a country (say the UK) has 900 units of labour available, can produce two goods (cars and PCs) and the unit labour requirement in car production is 5 while in PCs production it is 2, the opportunity cost of cars in terms of PCs would be 2.5. Indicate whether the above statement is True or False, AND with a couple of sentences explain why.

On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Nick's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Rosa's PPF. Nick and Rosa are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. Corn Rye Nick 12 3 Rosa 15 5 (ROSA OR NICK) has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, and (ROSA OR NICK) has an absolute advantage in the production of rye. Nick's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is__________bushels of corn, whereas Rosa's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is_________ bushels of corn. Because Nick has a(HIGHER OR LOWER) opportunity cost of producing rye than Rosa, (NICK OR ROSA) has a comparative advantage in the…
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…
Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) - This graph shows the maximum combination of two goods that an economy can produce, given its resources and technology. It is used to illustrate the concept of opportunity cost and to explain the trade-offs that must be made when choosing how to allocate resources. Show this graph with an example please.

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.…
