Suppose a nation has a total of 12 units of labor, which can be used to produce either guns orbutter. One gun takes 6 units of labor to produce and 1 butter takes 2 units of labor toproduce.Evaluate the allocation of resources of this country based on the following points.• Reason for the scarcity that exists in this economy. Use the data as evidence of yourreasoning.• Maximum quantity of guns that can be produced.• Maximum quantity of butter than can be produced.• Diagram which represents the nation’s production possibility curve.• Opportunity cost of guns in this nation• Reason why the nation can’t produce both 3 guns and 4 butters.• Reason why the nation shouldn’t produce both 1 gun and 2 butters.

Wichita — Farmers in Kansas, the biggest US producerof wheat, are abandoning their crops damaged by severedrought and cold.Some are spraying wheat fields with crop-killingchemicals and claiming insurance payouts in the beliefthat it is not worth harvesting the little grain that thereis, Reuters found on a three-day tour of the state. Othergrowers let cattle graze on the dismal-looking fields.Abandoning fields will reduce the crop of the world’sfifth-largest wheat exporter, with stocks expected to fallto a 16-year low. Large-scale abandonment deals aneconomic blow to farm towns and force wheat buyersto adjust procurement plans by buying the staple grainelsewhere.Nationally, winter-wheat farmers plan to abandon 33%of the acres they planted, the highest percentage sinceWorld War 1, the US department of agriculture said ina May 12 report.Kansas farmers are expected to abandon about 19% ofthe area planted last autumn, up from 10% in 2022 and4% in 2021, according to the report.

Questions you must answer, you may write a standard paper, or you can answer the following questions in bullet point form. You must write it in an easy-to-read form regardless of how you choose to do it.
What is trophy hunting? Is trophy hunting the main reason animals are being killed off?
Why is there demand for exotic animal parts? How does this impact animal deaths?
