Consider an economy that produces two goods , X and Y. Use a production box diagram to construct the production possibility frontier for these two goods. Also indicate the optimal consumption point and price ratio that will prevail. Suppose now that technical progress causes the X isoquants to shift towards the origin. How will this affect the production possibility frontier, the optimal consumption point and equilibrium price ratio for X and Y
Explain the economic reason for which consumption decisions are graphically represented as a straight line and production decisions are graphically represented as a curve.
Q/ Country X and Country Y are neighbours. Both Country X and Country Y can produce two goods: food and clothing. In one week, Country X can produce 4,400 clothing units or 2,200 food units, or a mix of the two. In one week, Country Y can produce 5,000 clothing units or 2,000 food units, or a mix of the two.For both Country X and Country Y, their individual trade-offs between clothing units and food units are constant, regardless of how they allocate their time. Currently, Country X produces 2,400 clothing units and 1,000 food units per week while Country Y produces 2,500 clothing units and 1,000 food units per week. c. Which country has a comparative advantage in food production? Which country has acomparative advantage in clothing production? Illustrate your answer using the PPC and showall the calculations. d. Should Country X and Country Y specialize and trade with one another? Why?

C. a movement from an inefficient point to another inefficient point. D. impossible, since the economy could never have been at point D in the first place.
Suppose that MASU managed to get Olivia Rodrigo to play a concert at Convocation Hall. Tickets cost $600. At the same time, Gheorghe Zamfir (The Master of the Pan Flute) is playing in Brunton Auditorium. Tickets cost $50. You've always wanted to see Zamfir, and consistently told your friends that you would pay up to $250 to see him in concert. What is your economic cost of going to the Olivia Rodrigo concert? Please provide your answer in monetary terms and show your reasoning.
