Which of the following statements are true regarding this Production Possibilities Curve? Select all that apply: Quantity of bicycles produced 8 PPF Quantity of cars produced Point A represents possible numbers of cars and bicycles that can be sold The movement along the curve from Point A to Point B shows the opportunity cost of producing more bicycles. If a society experiences a substantial increase in unemployment, the PPF shifts inward If an improved process of manufacturing cars is introduced, the entire PPF will shift outward. All of the statements are true All of the statements are false

Amanda and Raj are both students working part-time at an insurance company. Amanda can work only 5 hours a day. Her manager informs her that she needs to review 250 documents and process 250 insurance claims in the next 10 days. Amanda can either review 30 documents in 1 hour or process 5 insurance claims. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw a production possibilities curve for Amanda that represents a day of work. Label your curve 'Amanda.' Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. The slope of the curve is. (Round your response to two decimal places.) Her opportunity cost of reviewing one document is claim(s). (Round your response to two decimal places.)

Which of the following would most likely shift the production possibilities curve inward? Otechnological progress an increase in the production of capital goods an increase in the number of hours factories are in use a decrease in the average number of hours worked per week
Hi! I am currently stuck on this question: Suppose there is an improvement in medical technology that enables more healthcare to be provided with the same amount of resources. How would this affect the production possibilities curve and, in particular, how would it affect the opportunity cost of education? I am confused as to why education increases. I know that the medical technology would increase the PPF because of the improvement, but wouldnt that decrease the opportunity cost of education because there is more technology? Thanks!
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.
What does a point inside the production possibilities frontier (PPF) represent? A. An efficient allocation of resources B. An underutilization of resources C. A technologically advanced production point D. An unattainable production level given current resources
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.

When technology of production improves what happens to the production possibilities frontier? does not affect the PPF. shifts the PPF inward, toward the origin. shifts the PPF outward, away from the origin. rotates the PPF outward, making it less steep.
Suppose a small economy produces only two goods: apples and oranges. The production possibilities frontier (PPF) for this economy is given by the following equation: PPF: 5A + 3O = 60, where A represents the quantity of apples produced and O represents the quantity of oranges produced. Calculate the opportunity cost of producing one additional apple.
Which situation would most likely cause a nation's production possibilities curve to shift inward? The construction of more capital goods An increase in discrimination based on race An increase in the number of skilled immigrant workers The destruction from bombing and warfare in a losing military conflict
Help! The question is to Explain how the following situation would affect a nation's production possibilities curve. A category 5 hurricane destroys over 40% of the nation's productivity. The two questions are What happens to PPF and an explanation. The options for both are in the drop down.
Consider the production possibilities frontier (PPF) that shows the trade-off between the production of cotton and the production of soybeans depicted in the figure to the right. Use the three-point curved line drawing tool to show the effect that improved fertilizers would have on the initial production possibilities frontier by drawing a new production possibilities frontier. Properly label this curve. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. FRAN
