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.
Two alternative programs to save 50 more lives per year entail providing more cardiac intensive care facilities and redesigning dangerous highway interchanges. The price of a new cardiac intensive care unit is $500,000, and the price of redesigning and renovating a highway interchange is $1 million. One combination of the two programs that can save 500 lives is five cardiac units and three highway exit renovations. a.) Is the mix involving five cardiac units and three highway exit renovations cost-effective? b.) Assuming that the marginal products of both programs decline, what needs to be done to achieve the cost-effective mix of programs?

The U.S. government estimated4 that Air Force One costs the taxpayers $179,750 per hour. Air Force One is a custom-built Boeing 747 for the president’s use while in office. (There are technically a few planes that are used as Air Force One; whichever one the president is on is called “Air Force One.”) While the president is in office, the president is required by law to use Air Force One for all air travel. The 747 used for Air Force One has 4,000 square feet of space inside on three levels. In addition to having a large office and a conference room, the plane also houses a medical suite and a doctor. The doctor is permanently assigned to Air Force One. The plane has two food preparation galleys that can feed 100 people at a time.
