2. A nation with fixed quantities of resources is able to produce any of the following combinations of carpet and carpet looms: Yards of Carpets (Millions) Carpet Looms u(Thousand}) 50 40 28 10 22 34 19 46 60 These figures assume that a certain number of previously produced looms are available in the current period for producing carpet. a. Using data in the table, graph the ppf (with carpet on the vertical axis) b. What happens to the opportunity cost of carpets measured in number of looms-as carpet production increases from 0 to 10 Million yards, from 10 to 22 Million yards, from 20 to 30 Million yards, and so on? c. If this country chooses to produce both carpets and looms, what will happen to the ppf over time? Why?

1. An economy has two sectors: Electricity and Services. For each unit of output, Electricity requires 0.8 units from its own sector and 0.3 units from Services. Meanwhile, Services require 0.4 units from Electricity and 0.6 units from its own sector to produce one unit of Services. The production vector necessary to satisfy a final demand of 1,000 units of Electricity and 2,000 units of services is (a, b). What is a+b? 1. 8,500 2. 9,000 3. 9.500 4. 10,000 5. 10.500

Please find the Asset Beta (IndustryBeta) based on the following information below: Currently, Ljutic A/I Inc. has hired a consulting firm (Oakland Association-OA) to estimate the size of the market and hence expected unit sales for its main product (E-toral application sensor). OA’s work resulted in unit sales estimates of 318,331, 341,342, 368,769, 383,432, and 376,532 units respectively for the next five years conditioned on Ljutic adhering to an average sales price of $568 per unit for the first two years and $387 in years three, four, and five. From that point going forward, growth in unit sales is predicted to be 2.72% indefinitely. The results of an independent outside analysis by a leading market research firm has determined that the company can manufacture its product line at a variable cost per unit expected to be $63.47 growing at 2.23% per year for the first 5 years and 3.17% per year indefinitely thereafter while overall fixed costs are estimated to be $10,482,000…
