In the specific model with two consumption goods and labour (mobile) and land and capital (specific factors), in Home compared to autarky the market equilibrium with free trade of goods O the profit of the land owners increases. O the price for capital cannot be lower. O the economy does not achieve a Pareto improvement. O capital owners are better off if the price for good produced using capital is higher. O consumption is higher. O labour is less productive O a good that is improted has lower price.

- Class Activity •Choice land has 250 workers and produces only two goods, X and Y. Labouris the only factor of production, but some workers are better suited to producing X than Y (and vice versa). The Table below shows the maximum levels of output of each good possible from various levels of labout input a)Draw the production possibilities boundary on a scale diagram, with the production of X on the horizontal axis and the production of Y on the vertical axis. b)If the economy is producing 20 units of X and 800 units of Y, what is the opportunity cost of producing an extra 10 units of Xwhy is the market for recycled aluminium good and the market for plastic bad in the US? Depict this with a firm input choice model. I understand that recycled plastic decreases in qualiy everytime it is recycled while aluminium does not and can be recylced without the decrease in quality, but I dont know how to depict this graphicallyShort Answer Assume there are two goods: airplanes (a) and bananas (b). The labor-to-capital ratios are 4 and 8, respectively. The labor-to-capital ratio in the wholeeconomy is 5. What is the fraction of capital (over the total amount of capital in the economy) used in the production of airplanes? Assume there is one good in the economy. The good is produced using a standard Cobb-Douglas production function. Give an intuition for why output price does not affect the capital-to-labor ratio?
- which one of the following is true about the production possibilities frontier (ppf) o a. the information is perfect o b. large number of buyers and sellers o c. free entry and exit o d. government interference in economic activitiesSuppose two economies Home (H) and Foreign (F) produce two goods, bread and wine, with only one production factor: labour. Production technology, expressed as marginal product of labour (MPL), is given in the following table: Technologies expressed as MPL Bread Wine Home 1/6 1/12 Foreign 1/4 1/2 Suppose that Home has 2400 units of labour and Foreign has 1800 units of labour. a. ) Derive the Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) and the Consumption Possibility Frontier (CPF) for Home and Foreign, with bread on the horizontal axis and wine on the vertical axis. What is the autarky equilibrium price of bred relative to wine in each country? b.) What country has the absolute advantage in producing each good? What country has the comparative advantage in producing each good? Briefly explain the difference between these two concepts. Suppose both countries are now free to trade. The world relative price of bread is 1. c. What is the pattern of specialisation and trade?…Production possibility frontiers are thought to be concave from the origin (bowed out) because: A. of the different intensities with which commodities and services are used in producing capital, land, and labor. B. land, labor, and capital are used in fixed proportions in producing all commodities and services. C. of the different intensities of people's labor efforts. D. all productive resources are equally suited for producing all goods. E. productive resources differ in their suitability for producing different goods.
- According to Marx, which of the following is true? O capitalism causes one social class to conflict with the other. O economic evolution is the result of a superstructure determined by the Proletariat. rolestial O the state becomes a means through which the political class confiscate the wealth of the social class. O the forces of production will eventually block the relations of productions.Suppose a society is producing capital and consumer goods. Draw productionpossibilities frontier for capital and consumer goods. Show the points that are not possible for aneconomy to achieve. Also show a point that is feasible but inefficient.If it is not possible to increase the output of one good without decreasing the output of the other, when there are only two goods, thenthis situation would describe a point on a production possibilities frontier for the producer.the outcome can be described as efficient.there is no unemployment of resources.All of these outcomes are correct.
- "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…xercise 5: Production and income distributionConsider and economy with the following production technology: ,Y = 9K1/3L2/3 wherethe aggregate capital stock is K=100, and aggregate labor is L=100. The price of output is1.a) Write down the maximization problem of the firm.b) Compute the equilibrium wage and capital return.c) Compute total payments to labor and capital. Show Euler’s Theorem holds, i.e. showthat total payments to capital and labor equal the value of output.d) What share of output goes to labor and capital?e) Suppose there is an increase in L, what would be impact on wages and capital returns?Explain.cost data:Assembly: Total cost of production = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = 100Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = 200Earnings of Capital = 100R&D: Total cost of production = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = 175Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = 125Earnings of Capital = 100A) In which factor is assembly intensive? In which factor is R&D intensive? Suppose that due to the opening of trade, the price of assembly falls by −20%, the price of R&Dremains unchanged, 0%, and capital’s share earnings remains constant. What has happened to the relative wage of high-skilled/low-skilled labor? Does this match the predictions of the offshoring model?
