- 4. a. Suppose that you are on a deserted island and can produce either 32 tons of coconuts OR 16 tons of pineapples. Draw the PPF representing this situation. Assume that coconuts are on the x-axis. Also assume that the PPF is linear. Clearly label your graph. b. For each of the following combinations say whether they are attainable (feasible) or unattainable (infeasible), based on the above information. If they are feasible, say whether they are efficient or inefficient. Also, label the three points on the graph above. (i) 8 tons of coconuts and 12 tons of pineapples: (ii) 16 tons of coconuts and 3 tons of pineapples:13. Suppose that an economist tells you that “People in Oman do not save enough out of their incomes”. This is an example of a ______________________ statement. a. A normative b. A positive c. A demand d. A negativeSupposed that there is widespread inefficiency in agricultural production in a region, due to low uptake of new information and new farming practices. Now suppose that agricultural extension services provided by the government lead to higher efficiency in production. a) Is this likely to improve overall wellbeing among farmers in the region? Does the answer to this question depend on whether the low efficiency prior to the government intervention is due to low allocative efficiency, low technical efficiency, or both? b) Does your answer to (a) depend on whether raising efficiency is costless for the farmers or not? Illustrate your answer graphically.
- 3. Suppose the Canada can produce cattle or corn with a given amount of resources. Below is a graphdepicting the production possibility frontier for Canada and the marginal benefit and cost of a bushel ofcorn. Discuss the relationship between the marginal cost and marginal benefit of corn and the production ofboth corn and cattle.(a) Discuss the overallocation of resources, underallocation of resources, and optimal allocation of resources. (b) When operating at the optimal level of corn production, what is the optimal level of cattle production? Whyis this the optimal amount (why not more or less cattle)?E2 Describe the difference between the "endogenous" and the "exogenous" variables of an economic model. Which type of variable is, by construction, independent of all of the other variables in a model? In the supply/demand model of a competitive market which variables are endogenous and which are exogenous (give at least 3 of each type)?Assume an increase in the price from the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE as established in # 1 above, SHOW GEOMETRICALLY (using a graph) the effect of such an increase in Price ABOVE THE EQUILIBRIUM point. What “economic problem” is created in the market. Measure geometrically the magnitude or distance of such “economic problem”. In the face of such an economic problem, where private sector buyers and suppliers could not do anything more (and considering the PERISHABILITY OF THE VEGETABLE PRODUCT), which economic actor should come to intervene properly? Discuss what should that intervener do amidst such economic problem faced by the microeconomic actors -- the buyers and the sellers.
- (Figure 15.10) At point G, the marginal cost of a pancake is 50 cents and the marginal cost of a bowl of cereal is also fifty cents. At this point, consumers are willing to trade 2 bowls of cereal for an additional pancake. Which of the following statements is (are) TRUE? Select one: A. The economy is achieving output efficiency because the MRT equals 1. B. The economy is not achieving output efficiency because the MRS is less than the MRT. C. The economy is not allocating its inputs efficiently. D. The economy is not achieving output efficiency because the MRS is greater than the MRT. the correct answer is B, please explain why?Brighton and Hove Albion generated ticket sales of £15,000,000 from its home matches in the 2018/19season. Assume the University of Sussex expanded its undergraduate intake by 1,500 students inthe corresponding academic year, with each student paying £9,200 per year. On the basis of thesetwo revenue streams, which of these two organizations is likely to generate more additional economic activity in the local Brighton economy? Explain your answer and outline clearly any assumptions you make in undertaking your analysis.Assume an economy produces only two goods ( shoes and computers ) with a fixed amount of productive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum. Production in this economy is subjected to the laws of diminishing marginal returns and resources are assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers and vice versa is 1. On the basis of the forgoing assumptions , drawthe economy's production possibility frontier on hindsight of the relevant assumption and why the points outside the frontier unattainable?.
- 2.) Suppose that Bob and Jimmy both have 10 hours of time that they can use to do one of two things: make pasta or make hamburgers. Bob can make 15 hamburgers in one hour and 3 plates of pasta in one hour. Jimmy can make 8 hamburgers in one hour and 2 plates of pasta in one hour. a.) Graph Bob and Jimmy’s PPFs using hamburgers as your x variable. Solve for both PPFs in y = mx + b form. b.) Who has absolute advantage in the production of hamburgers? Who has absolute advantage in the production of pasta?Using the appropriate diagram(s), explain briefly why the third general equilibrium efficiency condition (i.e. MRSxy = MRPTxy, where x and y are any two products), that connects consumption and production, must hold.Assume an economy producing only two goods (shoes and computers) with a fixed amount ofproductive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum.Production in this economy is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns and resourcesare assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers andvice versa is 1. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, answer the following questions:i. Draw the economy’s production possibility frontier on hindsight of the relevantassumption.ii. Why are points outside the frontier unattainable? iii. Identify three ways by which the economy can attain the level of production outside thePPF. iv. What happens to the PPF when technological change overwhelmingly favours theproduction of computers? v. What happens to the PPF when the economy discovers an improved technology forproducing shoes? vi. Assume now that the sacrifice ratio is greater than 1, show what will happen to the…
