Alice and Bob each produce haircuts and landscaping services. Alice can provide 4 haircuts in one hour. Bob can provide 2 haircuts in one hour. It takes Alice 2 hours to landscape an acre of property. It takes Bob 1 hour to landscape an acre of property. Assume Alice and Bob both work a standard 8 hour day. If Alice and Bob were to combine forces and open their business "Heads and Hedges" together, how should Alice and Bob allocate their time to maximize the gains from trade with one another? (check all that apply) Alice should only spend her time cutting hair. Bob should only spend his time cutting hair. Bob should only spend his time landscaping. Alice should only spend her time landscaping.
Van and Amy are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of corn and rye each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing corn or rye or to produce corn on some of the land and rye on the rest. ______ has an absolute advantage in the production of corn, andVan has an absolute advantage in the production of rye. _____ opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is ______ bushels of corn, whereas Amy's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of rye is_____ bushels of corn. Because Van has a______ opportunity cost of producing rye than Amy____ has a comparative advantage in the production of rye, and_____ has a comparative advantage in the production of corn.
A country's production possibilities frontier will be a straight line if Group of answer choices the economy is producing efficiently. increasing the production of one good by x units entails no opportunity cost in terms of the other good. increasing the production of one good by x units entails a constant opportunity cost in terms of the other good. the economy is engaged in trade with at least one other economy.
What does a Production Possibility Frontier for Product X versus Y represent? A) The total combined production of Product X + Product Y for a given set of factors of production B) The trade-off in the level of total production at various output mixes for Product X and Product Y C) The most efficient product production mix for a given set of factors of production D) All of the above
Suppose that there are two products: clothing and soda. Both Brazil and the United States produce each product. Brazil can produce 100,000 units of clothing per year and 50,000 cans of soda. The United States can produce 65,000 units of clothing per year and 250,000 cans of soda. Assume that costs remain constant. For this example, assume that the production possibility frontier (PPF) is a straight line for each country because no other data points are available or provided. Include a PPF graph for each country in your paper. Complete the following: What would be the production possibility frontiers for Brazil and the United States? Without trade, the United States produces AND CONSUMES 32,500 units of clothing and 125,000 cans of soda. Without trade, Brazil produces AND CONSUMES 50,000 units of clothing and 25,000 cans of soda. Denote these points on each COUNTRY’s production possibility frontier. Suppose that there are two products: clothing and soda. Both…
Two men, Robinson Crusoe and Friday, have been marooned separately on the same deserted island. There are two activities each man can undertake to obtain food: fishing and gathering coconuts. Robinson Crusoe can catch 40 fish per hour or gather 10 coconuts per hour. Friday can catch 10 fish per hour or gather 8 coconuts per hour. Answer the following questions: A. Who is more efficient in each activity? Could either or both of them benefit from meeting and deciding to form a trading relationship? Explain intuitively. B. Robinson and Friday have not yet met. Robinson is working 2 hours a day and producing (and consuming) 48 fish and 8 coconuts (note: the fish are very small). Friday is also working 2 hours a day, but he is producing and consuming 15 fish and 4 coconuts. Now assume that Robinson and Friday meet and develop a trading relationship. Come up with a production and trading scheme such that they can each work the same amount per day as before, but each is better off…
Matt and Lin are two producers and consumers for lamps and beds. Each of them works 40 hours in a week. Hours required for Matt to produce one unit of lamps or beds are 1 hours or 10 hours, respectively. Hours required for Lin to produce one unit of lamps or beds are 2 hours or 8 hours, respectively. Assuming their PPFs are straight lines. Calculate the correct options that complete the following statements on Matt's PPF. A) If Matt produces only lamps, they can produce ? unit(s) of lamps. If Matt produces only beds, they can produce ? unit(s) of beds B) Calculate the correct options that complete the following statements on Lin's PPF. If Lin produces only lamps, they can produce unit(s) of lamps. If Lin produces only beds, they can produce unit(s) of beds. C) What is the marginal opportunity cost of producing an extra unit of lamps for Matt? An extra unit of lamps costs unit(s) of beds. D) What is the marginal opportunity cost of producing an extra unit of lamps for Lin?…
Moving from an autarkic situation to engagement in international trade, a. excess demand in the country with absolute advantage should equal excess supply in the country without absolute advantage. b. excess supply in the country with absolute advantage should exceed excess demand in the country without absolute advantage. c. excess demand in the country with absolute advantage should exceed excess supply in the country without absolute advantage. d. excess supply in the country with absolute advantage should equal excess demand in the country without absolute advantage.
Consider two outcomes in a pure exchange economy: Outcomes 1 and 2. Outcome 1 is Pareto efficient. Outcome 2 is not Pareto efficient. With reference to the following statement “Moving from Outcome 2 to Outcome 1 is a Pareto improvement” which of the following is true? A) This must be the case as Outcome 2 is not Pareto efficient and Outcome 1 is. B) This may be the case if both Outcomes are equilibria. C) This cannot be if the endowment means that both Outcomes are affordable. D) This is only the case if no-one is made worse off moving from Outcome 2 to 1.
Consider two outcomes in a pure exchange economy: Outcomes 1 and 2. Outcome 1 is Pareto efficient. Outcome 2 is not Pareto efficient. If outcome 2 (not pareto efficient) moves to outcome 1 (pareto efficient), is it true that moving from outcome 2 ( outcome 2 is not pareto efficient) to outcome 1 (outcome 1 is pareto efficient) is a pareto improvement?
