5. Refer to the following production possibilities table for con.
sumer goods (automobiles) and capital goods (forklifts): LO1.6
a. Show these data graphically. Upon what specific assump-
tions is this production possibilities curve based?
b. If the economy is at point C, what is the cost of one more
automobile? Of one more forklift? Which characteristic of
the production possibilities curve reflects the law of increas-
ing opportunity costs: its shape or its length?
c. If the economy characterized by this production possibilities
table and curve is producing 3 automobiles and 20 forklifts,
what could you conclude about its use of its available
resources?
d. Is production at a point outside the production possibilities
curve currently possible? Could a future advance in technol-
ogy allow production beyond the current production possi-
bilities curve? Could international trade allow a country to
consume beyond its current production possibilities curve?!…

For them, bringing in a harvest involves $30 per acre for seed, $80 per acre for fertilizer, and $70 per acre for equipment rentals and labor. With these inputs, the land will yield 40 bushels of wheat per acre. If the price at which wheat can be sold is $5 per bushel and if farmers want to earn a normal profit of $10 per acre, what is the most that any farmer would pay to rent your 10 acres? What if the price of wheat rose to $6 per bushel?arrow_forward18.

- Assume that your company produces two goods: laptops and tablets. Assume aslo that your company has limited resources( including time) to devote to producing these items. Now assume that the laptop team does something to improve the efficiency of making laptops, while the tabley holds to old methods. Given the change you can a) only increase your production of laptops b) only increase your production of tablets c) increase production of both items d) not increase your production in either tablets or laptops.arrow_forwardQuestion 4 of 18 > A farmer produces both beans and corn on her farm. If she must give up 16 bushels of corn to be able to get 6 bushels of beans, then her opportunity cost of 1 bushel of beans is 0.38 bushels of corn. O 16.00 bushels of corn. O 2.67 bushels of corn. O 2.99 bushels of corn.arrow_forwardVarious cultures have come up with their own methods to limit catch size and prevent fishery collapse. In old Hawaii, certain fishing grounds near shore could be used only by certain individuals. And among lobstermen in Maine, strict territorial rights are handed out so that only certain people can harvest lobsters in certain waters. Discuss specifically how these systems provide incentives for conservation. Then think about the enforcement of these property rights. Do you think similar systems could be successfully enforced for deep-sea fishing, far off shore?arrow_forward

She then develops two possible entreprenuiral business opportunities. In one, she will quit her job to start an organic soap company. In the other, she will try to develop an Internet-based competitor to the local cable company. For the soap-making opportunity, she anticipates annual revenue of $ 465, 000 and costs for the necessary land, labor, and capital of $ 395, 000 per year. For the Internet opportunity, she anticipates costs for land, labor, and capital of $ 3, 250,000 per year as compared to revenues of $ 3, 275,000 per year. What opportunity should she persue? a) She would persue the soap business b) She would persue the Internet business c). She would continue working for the cable TV company.arrow_forwardCan a firm have a production function that exhibits increasing returns to scale, constant returns to scale, and decreasing returns to scale as output increases? Discuss. O A. No. The functional form of the production technology dictates the type of returns to scale it exhibits. While a production function can exhibit both increasing returns and constant returns to scale at different levels of output, increasing returns and decreasing returns to scale are mutually exclusive. O B. Yes. At low levels of output, specialization leads to increasing returns to scale. Once specialization has been exhausted, proportional increases in all inputs lead to constant returns to scale. And finally, for large scale operations, logistical and bureaucratic problems can lead to decreasing returns to scale. O C. No. The functional form of the production technology dictates the type of returns to scales it exhibits, and there will only be one of the three types of returns to scale exhibited throughout the…arrow_forward
