- Homework (Ch 02) Gilberto is a skilled toy maker who is able to produce both trains and drums. He has 8 hours a day to produce toys. The following table shows the daily output resulting from various possible combinations of his time. Hours Producing Produced Choice (Trains) (Drums) (Trains) (Drums) 13 D 15 E 16 On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Gilberto's initial production possibilities frontier (PPF). 30 25 Initial PPF 20 New PPF 15 10 TRAINS Suppose Gilberto is currently using combination D, producing one train per day. His opportunity cost ofproducing a second train per day is SNRUG8. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose the United States produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for alfalfa, an agricultural good, and industrial copiers, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a breakout of avian flu that sickens millions of workers. 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. 540 450 PPF 380 270 180 90 PPF 100 200 300 400 500 600 ALFALFA (Millions of bushels) INDUSTRIAL COPIERS (Thousands)The graph to the right depicts an economy, Home, that produces both flowers and soybeans. Flowers are the labor intensive good and soybeans are the land intensive good. Home presently exports flowers. The graph also indicates Home's optimal point of production, X. Suppose that Home has acquired more land in which it can now produce 12 units of soybeans if all land were devoted toward its production. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw the new production possibilities frontier that indicates this biased growth of land in Home. Properly label this curve. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. The growth biased toward land causes OA. export-biased growth. O B. a decrease in the relative price of flowers. OC. a rightward shift of the relative supply curve. O D. import-biased growth. 16- 15- 14- 13- 12- 11- 10- 9- 7- 6- 5- Growth of a Factor Soybean output VV TT 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Flower output €
- Beth can read 30 pages of astronomy in an hour. She can also read 20 pages of sociology in an hour. She spends 6 hours per day studying. **Use the blue line (circle symbol) to draw Beth's production possibilities frontier (PPF) for reading astronomy and sociology. Diagram has Astronomy Pages on the left from 0-200 in increments of 20's On the bottom of the Diagram it lists Sociology Pages numbered the same fom 0-200 in increments of 20. Beth's opportunity cost of reading 60 pages of sociology is ___________ pages of astronomy.Suppose the fictional country of Biscayne produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for sorghum, 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. ELECTRIC SCOOTERS (Thousands) 180 150 120 90 30 0 30 60 90 PPF 120 SORGHUM (Millions of bushels) 150 180 бо PPF ?Q. 4 The goal of this assignment is to think about the Productions Possibilities Frontier model and use it to describe a trade-off that you personally have experienced. You will have to identify two simultaneously produced economic outputs (goods, services, benefits, etc.) and the relationship between them. You will need to draw a graph and give information about the graph you made. Each point on the graph is a unique production point representing an amount of health care and military (H and M). We know that the set of production points possible is limited, given our limited resources in society. We can't have infinite amounts of H and M, so naturally, our representation of a productive economy must have a boundary where we have reached our productive capacity.
