Assume a country produces haircuts and shirts with inputs of labour. The country has 100 hours of labour available. A haircut requires 30 minutes of labour, while a shirt requires 2 hours of labour. Solvve sub-parts as well. a. Construct country’s production- possibility frontier. b. Suppose there is an increase in the labour hours from 100 to 150 labour hours. Indicate on the PPF how it will impact the production, if at all and brief explain why?
Describe the ppf curve and explain bow it illustrates the principle of opportunity close, what are the factors which can cause an outward shift in the ppf curve? What are the implication a of a point lying outside the ppf curve?
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. 30 05 10 06 15 0.0 16 20 18 Guns Butter 20 16 16 12 14 4 • Guns (Protective Goods) vs Butter (Consumer Goods) (In billions of metric tons) 2 ° 2 Guns
please answer thankyou.
Elif can produce 6 pies or 30 cakes in 1 hour. Ahmet can produce 10 pies or 20 cakes in 1hour A) What is the opportunity cost of producing cakes for Elif? What is the opportunitycost of producing cakes for Ahmet?B) Who has a comparative advantage in producing pies and who has a comparativeadvantage in producing cakes?C) On the PPF lines, show what Elif produces and what Ahmet produces when theyspecialize.D) Suppose that they set the exchange price as 1 Pie = 3 Cakes. If they specialize andtrade, show an exchange situation that is beneficial for both (compared to thesituation you found at part (b))?F) What is the minimum and maximum exchange price they could have determined foran exchange that will be beneficial for both of them?
Suppose a flood changes the production capacity in a country. How would you represent this situation with a production possibilities frontier?Choose one: A. The economy moves from a point on the PPF to a point beyond the PPF. B. The economy moves from a point below the PPF to a point on the PPF. C. The entire PPF shifts in. D. The entire PPF shifts out.
a) Why is the PPF curve bowed outward. Is it due to increasing opportunity cost or decreasing opportunity cost or constant opportunity cost b) What happens to the PPF curve during a recession? Will it shift inward or outward or remains constant c) Suppose a technology is banned due to its adverse environmental impacts. Would the production possibilty curve shift inward or outward or remain constant due to this d) How will a policy encouraging more immigration would shift the production possibility forntier. It will shift inward or outward or remain constant
Draw another diagram putting on it the original production possibility frontier you drew for (a), labelling it AA. (i) Draw a new production possibility frontier on the diagram, labelling it PP, which shows the position after a devastating war has hit the economy. (ii) Draw another PPF labelling it QQ which shows an increase in productivity in the econory such that output from the same amount of resources increases by 50 per cent in the public sector but twice that amount in the private sector. already finished part A need help with part B thanks!
According to this PPF map, along the production possibilities frontier, the most efficient and the most inefficient point of production depicted is: A В F C D Bread All points on the production possibilities frontier are equally efficient; point G O point D; point F point B; point F O point E; point G Wine
Draw the production possibilities frontier on a scale diagram, with the production of X on the horizontal axis and the production of Y on the vertical axis Annual Production of Y Annual Production of X 0 20 45 60 70 75 1300 1200 900 6:00 350 0 b. If the economy is producing 45 units of X and 900 units of Y, what is the opportunity cost of producing an extra 15 units of X. Show on graph. C. If the economy is producing 20 units of X and 800 units of Y, what is the opportunity cost of producing an extra 10 units of X. Show on graph.
Assume an economy that produces two goods experiences technological improvements in the production of one of its categories of goods. Using the ONE correct diagram aattached, discuss in terms of the production possibility frontier the economic impact of the technological improvement for this economy. Include in your answer the meaning of the production possibility frontier.

Those mixes on, or to the right of the PPF curve only those mixes falling to the left of the PPF curve.
