odule Two Quiz4. Production Possibility FrontierAn economy consists of three workers: Rajiv, Yakov, and Charles. Each works 10 hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns andwashing cars. In an hour, Rajiv can either mow 1 lawn or wash 2 cars; Yakov can either mow 1 lawn or wash 1 car; and Charles can either mow 2lawns or wash 1 car.For each of the scenarios listed in the following table, determine how many lawns will be mowed and how many cars will be washed per day and enterthese values into the corresponding row.ScenarioLawns MowedCars WashedAll three spend all their time mowing lawns.

Assume the town of Sherwood consists of 2 types of workers: artists and engineers. The table below depicts the number of bookshelves and backpacks each type of worker can produce in an hour. Bookshelves Backpacks Artists 2 5 Engineers 3 3 a. For each type of worker, calculate their opportunity cost of producing a bookshelf (in terms of backpacks): Artist: backpacks Engineer: backpacks b. Suppose there are 100 of each type of worker in Sherwood (so 200 workers total), and each worker can work 8 hours a day. The graph below plots the daily combined production possibilities frontier (PPF) for this economy. What is the x-intercept of this PPF? What is the y-intercept of this PPF? What are the coordinates of point A? ( bookshelves, backpacks) What is the slope of segment 1? c. Suppose Sherwood has an opportunity to trade some of the bookshelves they produce with a neighboring town in return for backpacks, and the other town offers a price of 0.5…
MULTIPLE CHOICE (identify the one best answer and provide explanations): Consider an economy inwhich each worker has one machine and one unit of natural resources. Assume these inputs are fixed,and so is the worker’s human capital. But there has been an improvement in technology. We can surelyconclude that productivity has increased if:a. the amount of goods and services produced from each hour of the worker’s time increases.b. the amount of goods and services produced by the worker increases relative to a worker inanother country.c. if the amount of goods and services produced by the worker in a given year increases.d. all of the above.e. none of the above

An economy consists of three workers: Gilberto, Lorenzo, and Sam. Each works 10 hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns and washing cars. In an hour, Gilberto can either mow 2 lawns or wash 1 car; Lorenzo can either mow 1 lawn or wash 1 car; and Sam can either mow 1 lawn or wash 2 cars.

Based on the given scenario, answer all the questions. Consider a world composed of two countries, U.S as Home and Malaysia as Foreign. U.S and Malaysia both are producing two goods for machines and pants. Assume that Malaysia is capital abundant and machines are capital intensive. a) What is(are) the factor of production that used in the production? b) With a help of a diagram, explain how the change in the relative price of goods alter the distribution of income [Hints, normally use relative price of goods for capital abundant or labor intensive]. c) With a help of a diagram, explain how levels of output change when the economy’s resources change [Hints, normally use relative price of goods for capital abundant or labor intensive].
Davis Florist has two employees, Anita and Jerome, and two tasks that need to be completed, floral arrangements and floral delivery. It takes Anita 30 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and 40 minutes to make a delivery. It takes Jerome 10 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and 30 minutes to make a delivery. Each worker works six hours per day. a. Draw each worker's production possibility curve. (Hint: Calculate the extreme cases only, a.k.a. if the worker only produced deliveries with the six hours, or they only produced arrangements in six hours.) b. Who has the absolute advantage in making floral arrangements? c. Who has the absolute advantage in making deliveries? d. Draw the comparative advantage table. Calculate the opportunity cost of each task for each student. e. Who has the comparative advantage in floral arrangements? f. Who has the comparative advantage in deliveries? g.
