Exercise 1.5 Louis and Carrie Anne are students who have set up a summer business in their neighbourhood. They cut lawns and clean cars. Couis is particularly efficient at cutting the grass - he requires one hour to cut a typical lawn, while Carrie Anne needs one and one half hours. In contrast, Carrie Anne can wash a car in a half hour, while Couis requires three quarters of an hour. (a) If they decide to specialize in the tasks, who should cut the grass ang who should wash cars? (6) If they each work a twelve hour day, how many lawns can they cut and how many cars can they wash if they each specialize in performing the task where they are most efficient? (c) Illustrate the PPF for each individual where lawns are on the horizontal axis and car washes
