Explain why societies cannot make a choice above their production possibilities frontier and should not make a choice below it.
Ehh and Mol can produce bread and butter. Suppose That Ehh can produce 40 breads per minute, while Mol can produce 30. Alternatively, Ehh can produce 10 butters per minute, while Mol can produce 5. Assume that Ehh and Mol specialize only one of the goods. Based only this information. For Ehh and Mol t consume the greatest amount of bread and butter, Ehh should specialize in producing ________because he has an ________advantage in /their production.
1.a Explain the economic link between scarcity, choice and opportunity cost. 1.b Suppose there are two countries (South Africa and Chile) producing two products(Capital goods and consumer goods) with production possibilities per person inSouth Africa lower than in Chile. Use the PPF to substantiate how the future growthof the two countries will change if South Africa devoted a lot of its resources toproducing capital goods today.
Consider two individuals, Fred and Barney. In one hour, Fred can produceeither 15 gallons of beer, or 3 gallons of wine. In one hour, Barney can produce2 gallons of beer or 4 gallons of wine. Assume both goods can be produced incontinuous quantities. Assume that each person wants to consume 3 gallons of wine, then as muchbeer as they can. Determine what each person will end up consumingi) when they cannot trade.ii) when they can trade at a price of 1gallon wine = 2 gallons beer.Use this to explain why trade benefits both consumers.
. Diego and Darnell are roommates. They spend mostof their time studying (of course), but they leavesome time for their favorite activities: making pizzaand brewing root beer. Diego takes 4 hours to brewa gallon of root beer and 2 hours to make a pizza.Darnell takes 6 hours to brew a gallon of root beerand 4 hours to make a pizza.a. What is each roommate’s opportunity cost ofmaking a pizza? Who has the absolute advantagein making pizza? Who has the comparativeadvantage in making pizza?b. If Diego and Darnell trade foods with each other,who will trade away pizza in exchange for rootbeer?c. The price of pizza can be expressed in terms ofgallons of root beer. What is the highest price atwhich pizza can be traded that would make bothroommates better off? What is the lowest price?Explain.
please only do: if you can teach explain each What does it mean?there is no quantity of wine that he can convert to grapes. Thus, for example, if he purchases 4 units of grapes and 3 units of wine, he could consume any bundle (4-s, 3+ s) why the s ? What does mean? with s € [0,4] how to know what to look at: If p₁ < p2 or p1 ≥ p2, why these? Please how to solve: x(p, w) = (2w/3p1, w/3p1) (2w/3p1, w/3p2)
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.
Consider an economy with two people, Li and Carlo, and two commodities, clothing and food. Currently, Li and Carlo would both be willing to give up 0.5 articles of clothing for one piece of food. Further, the workers in town can, in a given day, produce either 10 pieces of clothing or 50 pieces of food. Is the allocation of resources in this economy Pareto efficient? If not, should there be more clothing or more food? (Let the MRS=MUfood/MUclothing=the value of food in terms of clothing=how much clothing we would trade for 1 more food)
23. Consider an economy producing two goods: cars and milk. The following table gives several points on this economy's production possibility frontier. Cars Milk (gallons/ year) 0 6000 100 4000 200 2000 300 0 a. Graph this economy's production possibility frontier. b. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 gallon of milk? c. The synthetic production of Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH) allows dairy farmers to get twice as much milk from each cow. In terms of this production possibility frontier, this means that this economy can now produce twice as much milk at each level of car output. What is the opportunity cost of producing 1 gallon of milk?

5. Vera is an impoverished graduate student who has only $100 a month to spend on food. She has read in a government publication that she can assure an adequate diet by eating only peanut butter and carrots in the Öxed ratio of 2 pounds of peanut butter to 1 pound of carrots, so she decides to limit her diet to that regime. a) If peanut butter costs $4 per pound and carrots cost $2 per pound, how much can she eat during the month? b) Suppose peanut butter costs rise to $5 because of peanut subsidied introduced by a politically sensitive government. By how much will Vera have to reduce her food purchases? c) How much in food stamp aid would the government have to give Vera to compensate for the e§ects of peanut subsidy? d) Explain why Veraís preferences are of a very special type here. How would you graph them?
