- Consider the following dialogue between two economics students, Janet and Larry, after a recent economics lecture. JANET: Hi Larry. Today the professor said that money is helpful because systems of exchange work better when everyone agrees to use a single common item to buy and sell things. But I don’t see how money is useful. As long as I specialize in something I have a comparative advantage in, like making cookies, I should be able to trade my cookies for whatever I need! I wouldn't need money! LARRY: Okay, I see where you are confused. Let’s run through it one more time. Suppose there is no money and you continue your job making cookies. With no money, you will actually have to be paid in cookies. Now, you still need water to survive, right? Well, in order to get water, you'll need to pay the water company your _______ (options: cookies, water, cash) in exchange for the water company's _________ (options: cash, cookies, water). JANET: Yes. So what’s wrong with that?…arrow_forwardConsider a simple exchange economy with two people: Bob and Jake. Bob and Jake both have 10 hours of time available.

Jake can make 3 pancakes in an hour and 2 hamburgers in an hour. Use this information to answer the following question: Who has absolute advantage in the production of hamburgers and who has absolute advantage in the production of pancakes?arrow_forwardAccording to the article of Jan 18, 2016 "several Canadians are nominated for Oscars" draw a production possibilities frontier with movies on the x-axis and other goods and services on the y-axis to illustrate increasing opportunity cost.arrow_forward
