You will knit for 8 hours today. In any particular hour, you can knit 1 hats or 0.5 scarves. If you are currently planning on knitting one scarf and spending the rest of your time knitting hats, what is the opportunity cost (in terms of hats you could have produced) of increasing your scarf production from 1 to 2?

Krisha can pick 4 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 2 pounds of nuts. Tom can pick 2 pounds of coffee beans in an hour or gather 4 pounds of nuts. Each works 6 hours per day. Together, what is the maximum number of pounds of coffee beans the two can pick in a day? What is the maximum number of pounds of nuts the two can gather in a day? Maximum amount of coffee beans pounds per day Maximum amount of nuts pounds per day Now suppose Krisha and Tom were gathering the maximum number of pounds of nuts when they decided that they would like to begin picking 8 pounds of coffee beans per day. Who would pick the coffee beans? How many pounds of nuts would they still be able to gather? Would it be possible for Krisha and Tom in total to gather 26 pounds of nuts and pick 20 pounds of coffee beans each day? If so, how much of each good should each person pick? The combination of 30 pounds of coffee beans and 12 pounds of nuts per day is show Krisha and Tom's combined daily PPC.
Two neighboring island nations, Seychelles and Mauritius, produce iPad's, coffee, or a combination of both. Suppose that they each have 4 million labor hours available per week for production. The following table gives the amount of each product that can be produced using one hour of labor: Country Mauritius Seychelles Mauritius' opportunity cost of produing 1 iPad is iPads (per hour of labor) 12 of coffee. Therefore, 8 Initially, suppose Mauritius uses 1 million hours per week to produce iPads and 3 million hours per week to produce coffee, while Seycheles uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce iPads and 1 million hours per week to produce coffee. Consequently, Mauritius produces 12 million iPads and 72 million pounds of coffee, and Seychelles produces 24 million iPads and 32 million pounds of coffee. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade with them. So, if Mauritius and Seychelles don't trade with each other, they can only consume what they can produce using…

Suppose the United States produces only two goods: alfalfa and computers. The following graph shows the United States’s current production possibilities frontier, along with six output combinations represented by black points (plus symbols) labeled A to F. Complete the following table by indicating whether each point represents output combinations that are inefficient, efficient, attainable, or unattainable. Check all that apply.

Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Yosemite. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per day that can be used to produce chinos, pistachios, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of chinos or pistachios that can be produced by one hour of labor. Country Sequoia Yosemite Chinos Pistachios (Pairs per hour of labor) (Pounds per hour of labor) 4 16 10 is 5 Suppose that initially Yosemite uses 1 million hours of labor per day to produce chinos and 3 million hours per day to produce pistachios, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per day to produce chinos and 1 million hours per day to produce pistachios. As a result, Sequoia produces 12 million pairs of chinos and 16 million pounds of pistachios, and Yosemite produces 5 million pairs of chinos and 30 million pounds of pistachios. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each…
A company that produces brass hardware for doors has the ability to produce up to 6,500 hinges per week but then is unable to produce doorknobs. Or it can produce up to 650 doorknobs per week but then is unable to produce any hinges. In the graph below, use the straight-line tool to draw the company's production possibilities frontier, where the quantities are per week (do not use the point tool to plot endpoints). Then use the point tool to plot a point to indicate the company's maximum output where it is producing exactly three times as many hinges as doorknobs.

Consider Babs and Donna, who can each produce cake, beer, or some combination of the two using only 40 hours of labor each. Babs can produce a maximum of 50 cakes if she produces no beer, and 100 units of beer if she produces no cake. Donna can produce a maximum of 100 cakes with no beer produced; if she makes no cake, she can produce 120 units of beer. Calculate donnas opportunity cost for a cake
