Q6 The production possibilities curve below applies to an economy, Prospera that produces only ice-cream sodas and industrial robots. What is the opportunity cost of industrial robots in terms of ice cream sodas when Prospera moves from point a to b and b to c? What is the opportunity cost of ice cream sodas in terms of industrial robots when Prospera moves from point e to d and d to c? How a technological improvement in the assembly of industrial robots would affect the production possibilities curve? If industrial robots can be viewed as a capital good, then describe how this economy’s decision to produce more industrial robots will affect its future production possibilities curve? Can Prospera produce 6 industrial robots and 40 ice-cream sodas Why? How would you describe production in Prospera, If 4 industrial robots and 20 ice-cream sodas are produced?

Suppose the fictional country of Everglades produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for millet, an agricultural good, and electric scooters, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a breakout of avian flu that sickens millions of workers. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.

Question 2 In answering the question, you should emphasize the line of reasoning that generated your results; it is not enough to list the results of your analysis. Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answer. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. Assume that the country of Fischerland produces only consumer goods and capital goods. CONSUMER GOODS CAPITAL GOODS a. The graph above shows the production possibilities curve for Fischerland. The production of which of the following exhibits increasing opportunity costs: consumer goods only, capital goods only, both goods, or neither good? b. Redraw the graph given above. Show a point that represents fully employed and efficiently used resources on the redrawn graph and label it A. c. Assume there is a recession in Fischerland. On your graph in part (b), label as C a point representing the recession. d. Identify a fiscal policy…
