Suppose that a country in the Classical model has the following production-possibilities frontier (PPF): 1000 computers (A) 120; computers autos If, in autarky, the country is producing 700 computers and is located at point M on the PPF, the country would be producing autos. If the country is now opened to trade at a terms of trade of 1 auto: 2 computers (or 1 computer: 0.5 auto), it would export. B C 120; autos 280; autos M (D) 280; computers 400

Keep the Highest / 1 4. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose Spain produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for alfalfa, an agricultural good, and locomotives, 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. 420 350 PPF 280 210 140 70 PPF 40 80 120 160 200 240 ALFALFA (Millions of bushels) LOCOMOTIVES (Tho us ands).

Suppose the economy initially produces 9,000 pieces of clothing and 500 million barrels of oil, which is represented by point A. The opportunity cost of producing an additional 3,000 pieces of clothing (that is, moving production to point B) is __________ (options: 60 million, 80 million, 100 million, 120 million, 150 million) barrels of oil. Suppose, instead, that the economy currently produces 420 million barrels of oil and 12,000 pieces of clothing, which is represented by point B. Now the opportunity cost of producing an additional 3,000 pieces of clothing (that is, moving to point C) is ________ (options: 60 million, 80 million, 100 million, 120 million, 150 million) barrels of oil. Comparing your answers in the two previous paragraphs, you can see that the opportunity cost of 3,000 additional pieces of clothing at point B is ________ (opptions: greater than, equal to, less than) the opportunity cost of 3,000 additional pieces of clothing at point A. This reflects the ______…

Q6 The production possibilities curve below applies to an economy, Prospera that produces only ice-cream sodas and industrial robots. What is the opportunity cost of industrial robots in terms of ice cream sodas when Prospera moves from point a to b and b to c? What is the opportunity cost of ice cream sodas in terms of industrial robots when Prospera moves from point e to d and d to c? How a technological improvement in the assembly of industrial robots would affect the production possibilities curve? If industrial robots can be viewed as a capital good, then describe how this economy’s decision to produce more industrial robots will affect its future production possibilities curve? Can Prospera produce 6 industrial robots and 40 ice-cream sodas Why? How would you describe production in Prospera, If 4 industrial robots and 20 ice-cream sodas are produced?
In a world where the only goods are cell phones and cereal: Jennereelam can produce: 80m kilos of cereal, and 200k cell phones, while Jonathannadu can produce: 30m kilos of cereal, and 15k cell phones. Even though Jennereelam is a bigger economy and can produce more of each product than Jonathannadu, this guy named Ricardo insists that they will both benefit if they trade. What is Ricardo's argument called, and why does he make the claim?
