Suppose an economy produces two goods: food and machines. this economy always operates on its productions possibilities frontier. last year it produced 50 units of food and 30 machines. This year and experience a Technological advance and it’s machine making industry. As a result of this year the society wants to produce 55 units of food and 30 machines which of the following statements is true? A) The technological advance reduced the amount of resources needed to produce 30 machines. These resources could be used to produce more food. B) because the technological advance occurred in the machine making industry increases and output can only occur in the machine industry. C) in order to increase food production in these circumstances without reducing machine production the economy must reduce inefficiencies. I need help with understanding this.
Assume that Andy and Henry, without trading with each other, will produce and consume the following number of steel bars and ketchup bottles. The Gains from Trade Without trade Person Good Production Consumption Gains from Trade Andy Steel bars 60 60 +35 Btl. Ketchup 60 60 +15 Henry Steel bars 20 20 +5 Btl. Ketchup 20 20 +5 Now, Assume that both Andy and Henry decide to specialize, and then Andy trades 25 steel bars to Henry for 75 Btls. ketchup. This outcome is shown in the table below. Compared to the result without trade, what are the gains from trade that Andy experiences when he and Henry specialize and trade? The Gains from Trade With specialization Person Good Production Consumption Gains from Trade Andy Steel bars 120 95 (keep) +35 Btl. ketchup 0 75 (from Henry) +15 Henry Steel bars 0 25 (from Andy) +5 Btl. ketchup 100 25 (keep) +5

Construct a graph showing DOODAG’S production possibilities curve. b. Pick a point on the graph (label it B) that shows a combination of doods and dags that Doodags cannot now produce a combination of both goods and explain your answer clearly. c. Pick another point on the graph (label it C) that shows a combination of doods and dags consistent with some idle resources and explain your answer clearly. d. Pick another point on the graph (label it D) that doodag cannot produce based on the Nation’s current fixed resources.
