Why is a production possibilities frontier typically drawn as a curve, rather than a straight line?
Match each diagram in Figure 1 with its description here.Assume that the economy is producing or attempting toproduce at point A and that most members of society likemeat and not fish. Some descriptions apply to more than one diagram, and some diagrams have more than onedescription.a. Inefficient production of meat and fishb. Productive efficiencyc. An inefficient mix of outputd. Technological advances in the productionof meat and fishe. The law of increasing opportunity costf. An impossible combination of meat and fish

The president of LeTall University, President John, spends $30 per week on pizzas (qz)and beers (qb). At LeTall Pizza, his go-to pizza joint, pizza costs $3 per slice and beeralso costs $3 per can. Assume fractions of the goods are allowed.(a) Draw President John’s budget line (qb on the horizontal and qz on the vertical axis).(b) President John receives a coupon from LeTall Pizza. The coupon, which will expirein a week, allows him to buy a can of beer at a discounted price of $1 per can. Itis, however, only good for a dozen cans of beer. Draw President John’s budget lineunder the coupon. Label any critical points on the budget line.(c) In another week, LeTall Pizza offers a special deal for pizza. For every half dozenslices of pizza bought during the week, one can get two additional slices for free.Draw President John’s budget line under the special deal. Label any critical pointson the budget line.

person 1 can allocate her 8 hour day between the production of two goods: A and B. Each hour devoted to good B yeilds 2units . whereas each hour devoted to good A produces 4 units. state whether 9 units of good B and 12 units of good A are unattainable, efficient, or inefficient.(state all that applies) select one or more attainable inefficient efficient unattainable
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.
Assume now that the sacrifice ratio is greater than 1, show what will happen to the shape of the production possibility frontier. vii. Mention three (3) conditions under which the sacrifice ratio between the goods will be zero.

Below is the production possibilities table for consumer goods (maize) and capital goods (tractors):Type of productionProduction possibilities A B C D Emaize 30 27 21 12 0Tractors 0 2 4 6 8i. Show these data graphically. ii. If the economy is at point C, what is the cost of one more unit of maize? iii. Suppose improvement occurs in the technology of producing tractors but not in the technology of producing maize. Draw the new production possibilities curve. iv. Now assume that a technological advance occurs in producing maize but not in producing tractors. Draw the new production possibilities curve. v. Now draw a production possibilities curve that reflects technological improvement in the production of both goods.
