(Production Possibilities) Suppose an economy uses two resources (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Capital is relatively more useful in producing cloth, and labor is relatively more usefulin producing wheat. If the supply of capital falls by 10 percent and the supply of labor increases by 10 percent, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?arrow_forward

Consider an economy with only two goods: guns and butter. Show the tradeoff between the production of guns and the production of butter by drawing a (bowed outward) PPF (use gun production on the horizontal axis and butter production on the vertical axis). b. In what ways does the PPF reflect: i. scarcity and choice; and ii. increasing opportunity cost? c. How would the PPF be affected by a technological improvement in the production of guns?

- Question Evidence accumulates that the use of chemical fertilizers, which increases agricultural production greatly, damages water quality. A) Explain in words how you would draw a production possibility curve to depict this (which “good” should be placed on each axis) and why your curve would have a particular shape. B) In what ways does the production possibilities curve from part a) reflect scarcity, choice and opportunity cost? C) Discuss THREE possible impacts of an improved fertilizer on the production possibility frontier from part a.arrow_forward5. The price of trade Suppose that Ireland and Norway both produce boots and shoes. Ireland's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 4 pairs of boots while Norway's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 11 pairs of boots. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes and has a comparative advantage in the production of boots. Suppose that Ireland and Norway consider trading shoes and boots with each other. Ireland can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of boots for each pair of shoes it exports to Norway. Similarly, Norway can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of shoes for each pair of boots it exports to Ireland. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of boots) would allow both Norway and Ireland to gain…arrow_forwardTopic: What is the world going to be like if we continue to have bilateral economic war in the next 25 years? the tensions that lead to war still exist: religion, money, natural resource, and history all provide way too many “reasons” for countries to want war to achieve their perception of national goals.
