Economics affects nearly everything we do in some way. Someone else has produced most items we consume, or use, in our daily lives, from food to clothes to music to gas for our cars. Chances are, when we purchase these daily items, we don't question the price with the producer. But in the United States, the interactions between the consumers and producers determine quite a lot in terms of business and economics. Think about the items and services that you and your family buy or consume. What causes you to pay the prices that you do for these goods and services? What determines the price that's on the price tag? What goes into determining, or setting, that price? Consider all the possible elements that could influence the prices you pay.
Drawing a production possibilities frontier (PPF) Instructions: Consider an economy than only produces two goods - Blueberries and Batteries. Step 1: Draw a production possibilities frontier (PPF) for this economy. Label blueberries on the vertical axis and batteries on the horizontal axis. Label one point that is "efficient", one point that is "inefficient", and one point that is "unattainable". Step 2. Draw another PPF of the economy with the axes labeled. Grab another color pen/pencil/highlighter and show how the PPF would change if there was a technological change that increased the production of batteries only. (Hint: The intercept for blueberries will not change.) Clearly label the new PPF. Step 3. Draw another PPF of the economy with the axes labeled. Grab another color pen/pencil/highlighter and show how the PPF would change if there was a drought that destroyed some of the blueberry harvest. (Hint: The intercept for batteries will not change.) Clearly label the new…

What do you mean by the production possibilities of an economy
Suppose a nation has a total of 12 units of labor, which can be used to produce either guns or butter. One gun takes 6 units of labor to produce and 1 butter takes 2 units of labor to produce.  Explain why scarcity exists in this economy. Use the data as evidence of your reasoning.  What is the maximum quantity of guns that can be produced?  What is the maximum quantity of butter than can be produced?  Draw the nation’s production possibility curve.  What is the opportunity cost of guns in this nation?  Explain why the nation can’t produce both 3 guns and 4 butters.  Explain why the nation shouldn’t produce both 1 gun and 2 butters.
Why are production and competitiveness important in today's economies?

Suppose you spend five hours studying for your final exam. In the first hour, you manage to review five pages of notes. In the second hour, your understanding of the first five pages allows you to cover seven additional pages. In the third hour, you cover five additional pages. In the fourth hour, you cover only two pages. By the fifth hour, you are so tired that you start to confuse yourself with what you have learned. Which economic concept best illustrates what you have just experienced? a. Law of diminishing returns b. Production function c. Short run d. Economic efficiency
Suppose you are a farmer with 20 hectares of land on which you could grow either wheat or barley. You can allocate however much land you want to each crop. Draw a Production Possibilities Frontier depicting this situation. Explain what a Production Possibilities Frontier is and what the diagram represents, including what points on, below and above the PPF represent. Explain why the PPF that you have drawn has the shape that it does. Is it possible to use just the PPF to find the best allocation for the crops? Explain.
