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.

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.

SMARTPHONES (Millions) 40 20 0 PPF 0 40 60 CORN (Millions of bushels) Which of the following is true regarding this economic model? O In order to construct such a model, an economist would need real life data regarding countries that produce only two goods. O The fact that there are only two goods produced in this theoretical economy, when, in reality, economies produce many more types of goods, means this model is generally useless. O This PPF is not an economic model. O The fact that there are only two goods produced in this theoretical economy is a simplifying assumption that still allows economists to demonstrate key economic concepts. 20 80 100

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.
If an economy begins to use its resources more efficiently, it will move farther away from its PPF Select one: a.False b.True
