In Kessy’s old kitchen, he could bake 10 cookies or mix 15 glasses of lemonade in a day. Now he has a bigger oven and kitchen. Draw Kessy’s initial PPF assuming constant opportunity cost between cookies and lemonade. Label it PPF1. [For this question, let cookies be illustrated on the horizontal axis.] Given PPF1, what is the opportunity cost of producing more cookies? In other words, how much lemonade must Kessy sacrifice to produce, say, one more cookie? Draw Kessy’s new PPF (label it PPF2) after he receives the new appliances.
Consider two individuals- Lisa and Mitch. We have the following information about each person’s productivity: Task Lisa Mitch Ironing Clothes 4 hours 5 hours Washing Clothes 3 hours 6 hours a) Calculate Lisa’s opportunity cost of ironing clothes and washing clothes b) Calculate Mitch’s opportunity cost of ironing and washing clothes c) Who has the comparative advantage in ironing?
"Only answer c-d ones" (a) Calculate the opportunity cost of producing one additional unit of good x in terms of units of good y in Home and Foreign. The opportunity cost of producing one additional unit of good x in Home or foreign is the amount of good y that must be given up to produce it. At Home, one worker can produce 2 units of good x or 1 unit of good y. Thus, to produce one additional unit of good x, half a unit of good y must be given up. The opportunity cost in Home is 0.5 units of good y. In Foreign, one worker can produce 1 unit of good x or 2 units of good y. To produce one additional unit of good x, two units of good y must be given up. The opportunity cost in Foreign is 2 units of good y. (b) Derive the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Home and Foreign and plot it in a graph with good x in the horizontal axis and good y in the vertical axis. To derive the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Home and Foreign, we use the labor market clearing condition…
