On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Nick's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Rosa's PPF. Nick and Rosa are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. Corn Rye Nick 12 3 Rosa 15 5 (ROSA OR NICK) has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, and (ROSA OR NICK) has an absolute advantage in the production of rye. Nick's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is__________bushels of corn, whereas Rosa's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is_________ bushels of corn. Because Nick has a(HIGHER OR LOWER) opportunity cost of producing rye than Rosa, (NICK OR ROSA) has a comparative advantage in the…
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…

3. Evaluating opportunity costs Janet and Felix need to decide which one of them will take time off from work to complete the rather urgent task of changing the brakes on their car, Janet is pretty good at car repairs; she can change the brakes in 30 minutes. Felix is somewhat slow; it takes him 5 hours to change the brakes. Janet earns $160 per hour as a psychlatrist, while Felix earns $20 per hour as a cobbler. Keeping in mind that either Janet or Felx must take time off from work to change the brakes, who has the lowest opportunity cost of completing the task? O Janet and Felix face equal opportunity costs O Felix O Janet

The marginal benefit of an additional beach towel is $8. The marginal cost of producing an additional beach towel is $12. If producers are not minimizing the average costs of production, then we can conclude beach towel production is neither allocatively nor productively efficient. beach towel production is allocatively efficient but not productively efficient O beach towel production is both allocatively and productively efficient. O beach towel production is not allocatively efficient but is productively efficient.
