The graph below shows a production possibilities frontier for shoes and candy bars in Z-land. Using the straight-line tool, add a PPF for Y-land. If Y-land uses all its resources to produce shoes, it can make 100 pairs. If it uses all its resources to make candy bars, it can make 400. Assume that the PPF is linear.

- 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.
