Consumption goods 7. The production possibilities A frontier (beside) shows the available tradeoffs between consumption goods and capital goods. Suppose two countries facethis identical production possibilities frontier. Capital goods Investment: This is indicated by a tradeoff between the production of consumergoods and capital goods. Investment results if society moves along the production possibilities curve, producing more capital goods and fewer consumption goods. Answer the following questions. a. Suppose Party Country chooses to produce at point A while Sleepy Country chooses to produce at Point B. Which country will experience more growth inthe future? Why? b. In this model, what is the opportunity of future growth?

3. Consider a world in which production of a good or service consists of a number of definitive tasks, which must all be performed correctly for the product to have positive value. Each task is filled by a single worker i whose skill level qirepresents the probability the worker performs her task correctly. Mathematically, if there are n tasks in the production of a good, and average production per worker with one unit of capital is 1 when all tasks are performed correctly, the production technology can be represented as: A) Give an example of an industry for which this might be a good model of production. What does this production function imply about the tradeoff between quality and quantity of labor in a given task? In this, how does it differ from a Cobb Douglas production function? B) Find the marginal product of increasing the skill of the ith worker. Suppose now there were two firms in the same industry that will bid for workers, and can pay them differentially according to…
QUESTION 1An individual lives for two periods and decides how much to consume in each period.- In the first period his consumption equals C1 and his income Y1 = 200- In the second period his consumption equals C2 and his income Y2 = 100He can save or borrow money in the first period to finance his consumption in the second period.The interest rate he gets in case he saves or has to pay in case he borrows money equals 7%.Determine the budget constraint of this individual. C2 = −0.935·C1 +314C2 =−1.07·C1 +314C2 =−0.8·C1 +314C2 =−1.08·C1 +314 QUESTION 2The total production of a good y is determined by the production function y = 3L2/3K1/3, where L is labour input and K capital input.The reward (factor prices) for labour and capital are, l = 27 en r = 2, respectively.The producer needs to produce 9000 units of good y.How much units of labour will he hire if he wants to miminize his total costs? 1587,4839,953000515,23 QUESTION 3A good is traded on a perfectly competitive…

Review the numbers for Canada and Venezuelafrom Table 33.12 which describes how many barrelsof oil and tons of lumber the workers can produce. Usethese numbers to answer the rest of this question.a. Draw a production possibilities frontier for eachcountry. Assume there are 100 workers in eachcountry. Canadians and Venezuelans desire bothoil and lumber. Canadians want at least 2,000tons of lumber. Mark a point on their productionpossibilities where they can get at least 3,000tons.b. Assume that the Canadians specializecompletely because they figured out they havea comparative advantage in lumber. They arewilling to give up 1,000 tons of lumber. Howmuch oil should they ask for in return for thislumber to be as well off as they were with notrade? How much should they ask for if theywant to gain from trading with Venezuela? Note:We can think of this “ask” as the relative price ortrade price of lumber.c. Is the Canadian “ask” you identified in (b) alsobeneficial for Venezuelans? Use the…
Differentiate positive statement from Normative statement and give 2 examples for the latter and former about our LGU response to the increasing number of Covid-19 positive cases.
Define the term scarcity in context of economics. Pls explain in detail.
Some people argue that we need “more proof ” or “betterscience” before we commit to changes in our energyeconomy. How much certainty do you think we needbefore we take action regarding climate change? Howmuch certainty do you need in your own life before youmake a major decision? Should nations and elected officialsfollow a different standard? Do you feel that theprecautionary principle (pp. 155, 220) is an appropriatestandard in the case of global climate change? Why orwhy not?
ASAP!! ANSWER PLEASE Suppose there are only two commodities that can produced in an economy, computers and cycles. If the producer decides to produce one more cycle then why does it cost more to produce the second cycle than to produce the first one, assuming that the cycles are identical?

xercise 5: Production and income distributionConsider and economy with the following production technology: ,Y = 9K1/3L2/3 wherethe aggregate capital stock is K=100, and aggregate labor is L=100. The price of output is1.a) Write down the maximization problem of the firm.b) Compute the equilibrium wage and capital return.c) Compute total payments to labor and capital. Show Euler’s Theorem holds, i.e. showthat total payments to capital and labor equal the value of output.d) What share of output goes to labor and capital?e) Suppose there is an increase in L, what would be impact on wages and capital returns?Explain.
Consider the possibility that government spending increases produc- tivity so that with lump sum taxes after an increase in government spending the original equilibrium level of consumption and leisure is still just affordable. (That is this point lies on the frontier of both the before and after PPFs. Be careful to make sure your drawing has this very unusual feature.) How will an increase in government spending affect consumption, hours worked, output and welfare?
