1.3.5 Practice: Analyzing a Production Possibilities Curve Practice Economics Points Possible: 20 Name: Emilio Castillo Date: Nov 10 Section 1: Creating a Production Possibilities Curve Complete items 1 through 5. Work through the pages of this activity if you need to review production possibilities curves. Feel free to jump back to the previous activities in the lesson if you need to review major concepts. 1. Imagine products you might create in a given amount of time: poems, baked goods, online videos, movie reviews, video game mods, scarves, drawings, or anything else you can picture yourself making as part of a small, one-person business. Choose and describe two such products. They will be product 1 and product 2. (1 point) Product one is a graphic T-shirt Product two are graphic sweatpants 2. What are the inputs — the scarce resources — required to create your two products? (1 point)
I would need to find a manufacturer to do all the graphic designs for me 3. Come up with a set work period, such as one day or one week. State how many of product 1 you can make in that period if you create the product type exclusively. Then state how many of product 2 you can make in the same period if you work on that type of product exclusively. (1 point) It all depends on the manufacturer. So if I ask for the manufacturer to make 100 of the graphic t-shirts and 100 of the graphic sweatpants in a week all I would have to do is to send them the graphics I want on the shirts and sweatpants and send them the money 4. Fill out the table. Under the first column, list your two products. Then refer to question 3 to fill out columns A and E. Under column A, write down how many of product 2 you can create if you make zero of product 1. Under column E, write down how many of product 1 you can create if you make zero of product 2. Then, in columns B through D, do your best to split the difference. Under column B, for example, if you make slightly fewer of product 1, how many of product 2 can you create in the same period? Estimate if needed. (2 points) A B C D E
Product 1: graphic t-shirt 100 100 Product 2: graphic sweatpants 0 5. Now create your production possibilities curve, based on the information in the table you just filled out. Use the chart shown as a model, but note that your numbers and your curve will be different. Depending on the numbers you wrote in your table, your "curve" may even look more like a slant. (2 points)
