A nation with fixed quantities of resources is able toproduce any of the following combinations of carpet andcarpet looms:Yards of carpet(Millions)Carpet looms(Thousands)0 4512 4224 3636 2748 1560 0These figures assume that a certain number of previouslyproduced looms are available in the current period forproducing carpet.a. Using the data in the table, graph the ppf (with carpet onthe vertical axis).b. Does the principle of “increasing opportunity cost” holdin this nation? Explain briefly. (Hint: What happens tothe opportunity cost of carpet—measured in number oflooms—as carpet production increases?)c. If this country chooses to produce both carpet and looms,what will happen to the ppf over time? Why?Now suppose that a new technology is discovered thatallows an additional 50 percent of yards of carpet to beproduced by each existing loom.d. Illustrate (on your original graph) the effect of this newtechnology on the ppf.e. Suppose that before the new technology is introduced, thenation…
Two countries, Marland and Teckana, can produce either clothing or food using all their available resources at constant opportunity cost. The table below shows the daily production of clothing or food in Marland and Teckana. Clothing Food Marland 120 20 Teckana 80 20 (a) Which country has the absolute advantage in producing food? Explain. (b) Which country has the comparative advantage in producing food? Explain. (c) Assume the two countries specialize based on their comparative advantage. If the two countries engage in trade and one unit of food is exchanged for 5 units of clothing, will these terms of trade be mutually beneficial? Explain. (d) Suppose Teckana invented new equipment to only increase the production of clothing. (i) Draw a correctly labeled graph of Teckana’s initial production possibilities curve, with clothing on the horizontal axis and food on the vertical axis. Plot the numerical values above on the graph. (ii) Show the effect of the new…
Hi there. can you please assist on the following question below Multiple-choice questions: Select one correct answer for each of the following. Q.1.1 Consider the information contained in the table below. The table shows output rates in France and Holland for two goods (cheese and wine), when resources are fully and efficiently utilised. Country Cheese Wine Holland 450 150 France 400 100 Based on this information:(1) Holland should specialise in wine production and should export wine toFrance;(2) Holland has the absolute advantage in both cheese and wine production and consequently will not benefit by trading with France;(3) France should specialise in wine production and should export wine toHolland;(4) Holland should specialise in both cheese and wine production and should export both goods to France.Q.1.2 News about high levels of criminal activity in South Africa discourages American tourists from visiting South Africa.

Elliot and Jordy find themselves on a deserted island. The only two activities available are fishing and finding pineapples. In a full day, Elliot can catch 6 fish or find 12 pineapples or some linear combination of the two; in the same time, Jordy can catch 4 fish or find 10 pineapples or some linear combination of the two. Assume, initially, that there is no possibility of trade between Elliot and Jordy. If Elliot wishes to consume 4 fish per day, what is the maximum number of pineapples that he could consume each day in addition to the 4 fish? Briefly explain your reasoning. If Jordy wishes to consume 2 fish per day, what is the maximum number of pineapples that he could consume each day in addition to the 2 fish? Briefly explain your reasoning. Now assume that trade is possible between Elliot and Jordy. If they want to continue to consume the same number of fish indicated in part (1), how many additional pineapples would they be able to collectively consume each day relative to…
Van and Amy are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. ______ has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, andVan has an absolute advantage in the production of rye. _____ opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is ______ bushels of corn, whereas Amy's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is_____ bushels of corn. Because Van has a______ opportunity cost of producing rye than Amy____ has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and_____ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
In 2020, the International Monetary Fund prescribed a carbon tax as the best way for governments around the world to meet their carbon emissions targets. A carbon tax is an economywide tax levied per tonne of carbon emitted by firms as a by-product of their production. Such a tax will likely increase business costs in the short run, especially for those firms whose production processes emit significant amounts of carbon. In the longer term, however, it is hoped that the tax will provide incentives for firms to invest in alternative production techniques that emit less carbon. Using the AD-AS framework, explain how the imposition of such a tax might impact inflation, economic activity and employment in the short run and the long run. Can you please please please show it in a graph the AD-AS framework its very important. Please have a through look and answer it.

There is increasing scientific evidence that climate change caused by human actions has substantially impacted surface temperatures on Earth. However, what is unclear is the tools available to managers and policymakers to reduce carbon emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions come from a large number of sources such as power plants, and factories to automobiles all around the world. Therefore, the number of pollution sources that need to be controlled is enormous. Additionally, countries often balk at the enormous price of curtailing their emissions. To address some of these challenges, the European Union adopted a cap-and-trade system to reduce their emissions. As an economic advisor and consultant to the European Union, your opinion has been sought on the cap-and-trade system and whether it is beneficial in reducing carbon emissions. Using the tools of managerial economics, analyse the cap-and trade system and comment on the ability of this policy to reduce carbon emissions. Does a…

Obviously, given their limited resources and available technology, as they use more of their resources for cherry tomato production, there are fewer resources available for catching salmon.
