The data are the units of output per hour of work.Steel TelevisionsJapan 6 3Korea 8 2A Japanese worker can produce 6 units of steel or 3 televisions per hour. A Korean workercan produce 8 units of steel or 2 televisions per hour. Plot the production possibilities frontierfor each country, assuming each country has only one worker and the worker works only onehour. To plot the frontier, plot the end points and connect them with a line. For example, Japancan produce 6 units of steel with its worker or 3 televisions. It can also allocate 1/2 hour to the production of each and get 3 units of steel and 1 1/2 televisions. a) What is the range of prices at which each country would be willing to exchange?The table below presents production schedule of apples and bananas in the country of mistania - assume that these are the only two goods that Mistania produces.
