Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1DQ
To determine
The market system and command economy that cope with economic scarcity.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The market system is a system, which allows private ownership of the capital and its resources. The owners of the resources and the capital decide the economic scarcity questions such as what to produce, how to produce and to whom to produce. The economic activity in the market system works on the basis of market prices, which are decided by the interaction of the
The command economy is a system in which, there is only public ownership. The resources are owned and operated by the public authority and basically government. There is no profit motive in the economy. The decisions such as what to produce and how to produce etc are taken on the basis of priorities that are given by the government authorized planning commission. The decision for allocating capital, labor and other such decisions are taken based on the priorities of the board.

His opportunity cost of producing a second truck per day is per day. Now, suppose Raphael is currently using combination C, producing two trucks per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third truck per day is per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Raphael increases his production of trucks, his opportunity cost of producing one more truck Suppose Raphael buys a new tool that allows him to produce twice as many trucks per hour as before but doesn't affect his ability to produce puzzles. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot his new PPC on the previous graph. Because he can now make more trucks per hour, Raphael's opportunity cost of producing puzzles is it was previously.
