Consider a plant company that produces plants in pots that are sold at garden stores (tomato plants and flowering plants, for example). The output is the number of plants in pots produced. Resources used are: a building, land, labor, potting soil, pots, seeds, computers, wheelbarrows, shovels, clippers, hand carts, watering cans and energy. (Including some numbers and a diagram along with your written explanation) 1. How does this change in productivity effect costs and why? (A diagram would be useful.)

Part C In which good does Firm A have a comparative advantage? In which good does Firm B have a comparative advantage? Part D In what good or goods does Firm A have an absolute advantage? In what good or goods does Firm B have an absolute advantage? Part E Suppose Firm A and Firm B divide their time equally between the production of both goods. What will be the total production of corn? units Now suppose both firms completely specialize in the product in which they have a comparative advantage and trade with one another.

Short Answer 12) Using the following table, which of the production choices (a, b, c, d, e) are technologically efficient? If the price of capital is the same as the price of labor, which choice is economically efficient? Finally, explain the relationship between technological efficiency, economic efficiency, isoquants, and isocost lines. Feel free to use a graph to help show what you are explaining if you'd like, but make sure to clearly label everything on your graph so I can see what you are describing in the graph.
