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

The accompanying graph contains the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Rubberland. Rubberland only makes two products, rubber band balls and rubber hoses, and on a given day can produce according to the PPF in the graph. Point A on the PPF represents the combination of the two goods Rubberland currently produces. When a new method of rubber processing is discovered, the productivity of all Rubberland's inputs increases. Please shift the PPF to show this change. Assume that Rubberland does not make more rubber band balls than they originally made at point A but still maximize their productive capabilities. Move point A to their new production point. How many more rubber hoses do they now produce per day than before?

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.)
