- Q2arrow_forwardWhat is the technological difference between straight line and strictly concave production curves? Show and explain.arrow_forwardIs this a good example of an opportunity cost? “To begin, I began selling prints of my pictures in 2019 throughout 2020. It's now closed. USPS and UPS were the options I had during this period to ship out orders. At the moment I didn’t have enough knowledge about USPS, so I chose to ship my prints via UPS rather than USPS. My orders weren’t delivered on time and upon arrival, the prints were damaged, and I spent a large amount of money shipping these orders out. The opportunity cost is the cost of USPS shipping.”arrow_forward
- Using your own words, describe the law of increasing opportunity costs. Be sure to explain why this phenomenon occurs and how it helps to contribute to the shape of the production possibilities frontier.arrow_forwarda) Derive the goods market demand curve in terms of the output (Y) and the exogenousvariables:c0,c1,b0,b1,g0,g1andT. Show your work for full credit. b)Draw the Goods Market Equilibrium. Be sure to label all curves, label the equilibrium point, and label the slope of each curve. c)Solve for the equilibrium output (Y) in terms of the exogenous variables:c0,c1,b0,b1,g0,g1andT. Show your work for full credit. d)Supposeg1increases, but stillc1+b1+g1<1. Using a graph of the goods market, show how we would represent an increase in the value ofg1on equilibrium output y. Be sure to label all axes, curves, and equilibrium points. e)Suppose instead,c1+b1+g1= 0. Is the equilibrium in the goods market still possible? If so, what is the equilibrium output?

- Countries trade to achieve economies of scale in production. Show in diagram(s) how nations (e.g. China and USA) can benefit from their specialisation in the production of goods and services with internal economies of scale (only a limited range of goods and services (e.g. China specialising in compact cars while USA specialising in large continental cars).arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between economies of scale and intra-industry trade? Group of answer choices Intra-industry trade brings competition and diverse products to markets where economies of scale would otherwise promote fewer firms and fewer product options Intra-industry trade reduces competition and product variety in markets where economies of scale would otherwise promote competition and diverse products. As average total cost increases, intra-industry trade increases As average total cost decreases, intra-industry trade decreases.arrow_forwardIs this a good example of opportunity cost? “In 2019, I started my small business by selling prints of my photographs. Now it’s temporarily closed. During this time I had the option of shipping my prints through USPS or UPS. I decided to ship my prints through USPS instead of UPS since it was a bit expensive at the time. My prints that were shipped out from USPS arrived in time and came in good condition. The opportunity cost is the cost of UPS shipping and being able to ship out international orders. “arrow_forward
- Under what circumstances in the Philippines can we operate outside the production possibilities curve? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardIn your "toast" production function, you used your labor and a toaster as capital. Keeping capital constant, i.e., with only one toaster if you keep adding the labor, i.e., bring your friends to help you with making toasts, which of the following might happen? Group of answer choices Marginal returns to labor will be a constant. Marginal returns to labor will keep decreasing and, after a point, it will become negative. Marginal returns to labor will keep increasing. Marginal returns to labor will keep increasing and then be a constant.arrow_forwardThe chart is already done.
