It is clear that productive inefficiency is a waste since resources are used in a way that produces less goods and services than a nation is capable of. Why is allocative inefficiency also wasteful?
What is an example of a problem in the world today, not mentioned in the chapter, that has an economic dimension?
Explain why societies cannot make a choice above their production possibilities frontier and should not make a choice below it.
Residents of the town of Smithfield like to consume hams, but each ham requires 10 people to produce it and takes a month. If the town has a total of 100 people, what is the maximum amount ham the residents can consume in a month?
The Marope Economy has the capacity to produce the goods and services that are outlined in Table 1 below. You are required to:a. Draw a Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) and list all efficient points of production.b. Marope Economy wishes to produce 520 billion units of consumer goods. Plot this output onthe Frontier and state whether this is an efficient point or not.Table 1 – Production Possibilities Output (billions of units per year) Consumer goods Consumer servicesPart BA B480 420 0 120C D240 0 240 300 Use graphs to demonstrate how the following factors will change the PPF.a. A decrease in migrationb. An increase in natural resourcesc. Changes in technology
Hubert and Manuel are considering contributing toward the creation of a water fountain. Each can choose whether to contribute $300 to the water fountain or to keep that $300 for a cell phone. Since a water fountain is a public good, both Hubert and Manuel will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.70 of benefit. For example, if both Hubert and Manuel choose to contribute, then a total of $600 would be contributed to the water fountain. So, Hubert and Manuel would each receive $420 of benefit from the water fountain, and their combined benefit would be $840. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a cell phone is a private good, if Hubert chooses to spend $300 on a cell phone, Hubert would get $300 of benefit from the cell phone and Manuel wouldn't receive any benefit from Hubert's choice. If Hubert still spends $300 on a cell phone and Manuel chooses to…
Vistakon makes Acuvue TruEye and Acuvue Moist contact lenses. The following is Vistakon’s production possibilities frontier (PPF) for the two kinds of contact lenses. Use the graph to answer the questions below. If Vistakon is currently producing 2.5 billion Acuvue TruEye and 1.5 billion Acuvue Moist contact lenses per year, is it using its available resources efficiently or not? Why or why not? What is Vistakon’s opportunity cost of increasing Acuvue TruEye production from 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion lenses per year (in terms of Acuvue Moist contact lenses)? What will happen to the given Vistakon’s PPF if new technology facilitates production of Acuvue TruEye contact lenses? Show graphically (upload graphs below). What will happen to the given Vistakon’s PPF if materials for producing both kinds of contact lenses become more easily available and cheaper? Show graphically (upload graphs below).

Paolo and Van are considering contributing toward the creation of a water fountain. Each can choose whether to contribute $400 to the water fountain or to keep that $400 for a weekend getaway. Since a water fountain is a public good, both Paolo and Van will benefit from any contributions made by the other person. Specifically, every dollar that either one of them contributes will bring each of them $0.80 of benefit. For example, if both Paolo and Van choose to contribute, then a total of $800 would be contributed to the water fountain. So, Paolo and Van would each receive $640 of benefit from the water fountain, and their combined benefit would be $1,280. This is shown in the upper left cell of the first table. Since a weekend getaway is a private good, if Paolo chooses to spend $400 on a weekend getaway, Paolo would get $400 of benefit from the weekend getaway and Van wouldn't receive any benefit from Paolo's choice. If Paolo still spends $400 on a weekend getaway and Van chooses to…
