Refer to the accompanying figure. If this economy were currently operating at point D, then in order to make more movies: A Movies (number per year) B D Milk (gallons per year) the first productive resources to switch to making movies should be those with the lowest opportunity cost of making milk. no productive resources would need to switch from making milk to movies because each resource should continue to be used according to its comparative advantage. no productive resources would need to switch from making milk to movies because point D is already efficient. the first productive resources to switch to making movies should be those with the highest opportunity cost of making milk.
Use the following Production Possibilities Graph to explain the concepts of scarcity, choice, and opportunity cost and how they relate to decision making. Be sure to specify how the PPF graph inllustrates each concept and include numerical values.

Is The combination of 30 pounds of coffee beans and 12 pounds of nuts per day unattainable, attainable and efficient or attainable and inefficient Provided to plot Krisha and Tom's PPC. Plot three points total: one point if they both pick only coffee beans, a second point if they both completely specialize according to their respective comparative advantage, and a third if both gather only nuts.
Adjust the production possibilities frontier (PPF) to show the economy's new production possibilities after the deterioration of infrastructure. 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. QUANTITY OF CARS (Millions) 24 16 0 0 O 5 OO PPF 10 QUANTITY OF COMPUTERS (Millions) 15 Suppose society faces a broad tradeoff between allocating resources to the production of investment goods (computers) and consumption goods (cars) before the deterioration of infrastructure described above. PPF Which of the following events would be most likely to lead to the deterioration of infrastructure you just illustrated? Increasing production of investment goods and decreasing production of consumption goods Decreasing production of investment and consumption goods Increasing…
Suppose that the US economy produces agricultural products (A) and manufactured products (M). Explain and graphically illustrate the impact of each of the following events on the economy’s production possibilities curve (draw a new PPF for each, placing M on the vertical axis). a. Scientists develop a new fertilizer that will increase the productivity of land on which agricultural products are grown. b. The price of manufactured goods increases. c. Russian attacks on Ukraine devastate the Ukrainian wheat crop, increasing their demand for American wheat. d. The government increases taxes on manufactured goods.
Q3) Illustrate the Production Possibility Frontier by graph from the table below and explain what will happen to the following changes: If the community decided to move from point C to D If they decided to move from E to D. If they want to produce 400 units from consumer goods and 400 units from capital goods. If they want to produce 500 units from consumer goods and 150 units from capital goods. Table shows the production possibility for total barely and lentils in Oman Point on PPT Consumer goods per year Capital goods per year A 600 150 B 500 250 C 400 350 D 300 400 E 200 500

If, next year, the production possibilities curve passes through point W on which point on this year’s production possibility curve (PPC) is it not possible for the economy to be operating? A) 100,144 B) 175,0 C) 80,144 D) 0,210
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
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.
Draw the following graphs below depicting the following information: Graph 1: Trinbago's PPF Horizontal axis: Wine production Vertical axis: Motor vehicle production The PPF shows the trade-off between producing wine and motor vehicles in Trinbago. It slopes downward due to the opportunity cost of producing one good in terms of the other. Graph 2: Vincyland's PPF Horizontal axis: Wine production Vertical axis: Motor vehicle production The PPF shows the trade-off between producing wine and motor vehicles in Vincyland. It also slopes downward due to the opportunity cost. Graph 3: Comparative Advantage Horizontal axis: Wine production Vertical axis: Motor vehicle production The graph shows the production possibilities for Trinbago and Vincyland and illustrates their comparative advantage based on the slopes of their PPFs. Trinbago will have a comparative advantage in motor vehicle production, while Vincyland will have a comparative advantage in wine production. Graph 4: Trade…
