Match each diagram in Figure 1 with its description here. Assume that the economy is producing or attempting to produce at point A and that most members of society like meat and not fish. Some descriptions apply to more than one diagram, and some diagrams have more than one description.
Inefficient production of meat and fish
Productive efficiency
An inefficient mix of output
Technological advances in the production of meat and fish
The law of increasing opportunity cost
An impossible combination of meat and fish
Question 06: Refer to the production possibilities frontier to the right for an economy that produces just two goods: trucks and boats. Label each point as: efficient (resources completely utilized), inefficient (some resources under-employed, or not-possible (not enough resources to produce the quantities of trucks and boats at present)

A firm operates two plants, Plant A and B. Both plants can produce good x and good y. Each plant can produce up to 250 days in a year. For every day plant A can produce either 10 units of good x or 5 units of y. For every day plant B can produce either 5 units of good x or 4 units of y.
Case C: How can the firm produce 1250 units of x efficiently? (Or when the firm produces 1250 units of x efficiently, how many units of y does it produce?)

Your neighbor, Friday, is a fisherman, and he is willing to trade 2 fish for every 1 coconut that you are willing to give him. Another neighbor, Kwame, is also a fisherman, and he is willing to trade 3 fish for every 1 coconut. Problems: On a single figure, draw budget lines for trading with Friday and for trading with Kwame. (Put coconuts on the vertical axis.) Note: The budget line from trading with Friday (or Kwame) features a set of attainable combinations of coconuts and fish. What is the slope of the budget line from trading with Friday? What is the slope of the budget line from trading with Kwame?arrow_forwardAs depicted in -- -, it is necessary to give up some of one good to gain more of the other good. a) the production possibilities frontier graph b) the concept of marginality c) the concept of utility d) allocative efficiencyarrow_forward
