Supposeg1increases, but stillc1+b1+g1<1. Using a graph of the goods market, show how we would represent an increase in the value ofg1on equilibrium output y. Be sure to label all axes, curves, and equilibrium points. Suppose instead,c1+b1+g1= 0. Is the equilibrium in the goods market still possible? If so, what is the equilibrium output? You must explain your answer to receive full credit.
The table below presents production schedule of apples and bananas in the country of mistania - assume that these are the only two goods that Mistania produces. Each row represents a specific set of apples and bananas that Mistania could produce. Suppose Mistania was currently at Senario C, producing 10 bananas and 80 apples. According to the data in this table, if Mistania wanted to produc 1 more banana, how many fewer apples will it need to produce? Scenario Bananas Apples A 0 100 B 5 90 C 10 80 D 15 70 E 20 60
As the manager at a local florist, you supervise two employees, Anita and Jerome. There are two tasks that need to be completed: floral arrangements and flower delivery. It takes Anita 30 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and it takes her 40 minutes to make one delivery. It takes Jerome 10 minutes to finish one floral arrangement and it takes him 30 minutes to make one delivery. a. Who has a comparative advantage in floral arrangements? What about deliveries? b. Suppose, initially, Jerome and Anita each spent 4 hours each day doing floral arrangements and 2 hours each day doing deliveries. If you changed their tasks so that each individual did nothing but the task for which they had a comparative advantage, how many more floral arrangements would your store make, and how many more deliveries?

Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of fruit? of timber?c. Sketch the PPF’s for both countries.d. Assuming no trading between the two, if both countries wanted to have equalnumbers of feet of timber and baskets of fruit, how would they allocate workers tothe two sectors?e. Show that specialization and trade can move both countries beyond their PPF’s.
Suppose that Spain and Greece both produce wine and olive oil. The following table shows combinations of the goods that each country can produce in a week (in thousands of liters). Spain Greece Wine Olive Oil Wine Olive Oil 0 16 0 30 1 12 1 24 2 8 2 18 3 4 3 12 4 0 4 6 -- -- 5 0 a. Who has a comparative advantage in producing wine? Who has a comparative advantage in producing olive oil? Explain b. Suppose that Spain is currently producing 1000 liters of wine and 12000 liters of olive oil per week and Greece is currently producing 3000 liters of wine and 12000 liters of olive oil per week. Demonstrate that Spain and Greece can both be better off if they specialise in producing only one good and then engage in trade.
