3. Consider two alternatives for Stromboli in 2019. In case (a), its inhabitants eat 60 million pizzas and build 6,000 pizza ovens. In case (b), the population eats 15 million pizzas but builds 18,000 ovens. Which case will lead to a more generous production possibilities frontier for Stromboli for next year in 2020?
The economy consists of two people–Ragnar and Lagertha. Each has 10 hours in a day to allocate between producing swords or fishing. In one hour Lagertha can produce 10 fish or 2 swords. In one hour, Ragnar can produce 9 fish or 4 swords. Suppose they produce jointly and assume efficient production. If the economy is producing 110 fish, how many swords is it producing? Enter a number only.
