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.

Econ 444-02 (Corporate Economics), Fall 2015Problem Set #2Due in class Thursday, September 24Problem 1. Alice and Barbra sell used CDs at music festivals. Each is decidingwhether or not to set up their booth at the last festival of the summer. The festivalis scheduled to take place in Alton, very near where Alice lives. It will cost her only$30 to travel the festival. Barbra is farther away, and it will cost her $100 to travelto Alton. Both Alice and Barbra would prefer to be only CD sellers at the festival,since they would avoid competition. If only one seller is at the festival, she will make$150 during the day (not counting travel costs). If both Barbra and Alice sell CDsat the festival, they will lower their prices and each make $50 during the day. BothAlice and Barbra receive $0 for not attending the festival.1. Draw the Normal Form of the game Alice and Bob are playing, be sure to labelthe game completely.2. Does either player have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it?3. List…
