During the Second World War, Germany’s factories were decimated. It also suffered many human casualties, both soldiers and civilians. How did the war affect Germany’s production possibilities curve?
Construct a Production Possibilities Curve in Excel based on the following Production possibilities Schedule:
Missiles Milk (millions of gallons)
0 4010 34 20 2730 1940 1050 0
What is the "shape" or the "slope" of the frontier or curve?
Calculate the opportunity cost of producing the "first" batch of 10 missiles.
Calculate the opportunity cost of producing the "last" batch of 10 missiles.
What would it mean if the economy was operating at the frontier?
What would happen to the frontier if the production technology improves?
The opportunity cost of moving from point H to point G in the above picture is (specify amount and good, ie: 5009 guns)
