Assume you are on an iceland, where you can produce different combinations of coconuts and fish that can be harvested in a given week. The table below shows these combinations.

Coconuts Fish 25 3 15 4 12 5 a) Draw PPF using the information from this table; b) Calculate opportunity cost of coconuts if you decide to increase their harvest from 3 to 5; c) Calculate the slope of the PPF if you increase their harvest from 3 to 5; d) Will you harvest 5 coconuts and 12 fish on any day of the week? Why? e) Will you harvest 5 coconuts and 4 fish on any day of the week? Why?Consider two individuals, Fred and Barney. In one hour, Fred can produceeither 15 gallons of beer, or 3 gallons of wine. In one hour, Barney can produce2 gallons of beer or 4 gallons of wine. Assume both goods can be produced incontinuous quantities. Assume that each person wants to consume 3 gallons of wine, then as muchbeer as they can. Determine what each person will end up consumingi) when they cannot trade.ii) when they can trade at a price of 1gallon wine = 2 gallons beer.Use this to explain why trade benefits both consumers.

The can use their time to do one of two things: make pancakes or make hamburgers.Bob can make two hamburgers in an hour or one pancake in an hour. Jake can make three pancakes in anhour or two hamburgers in an hour. Use this information to answer the following questions:a.) Draw Jake and Bob’s PPFs, with hamburgers on the x-axis.b.) Give equations for Jake and Bob’s PPFs in y = mx+b form, still treating hamburgers as the xvariable.c.) Who has absolute advantage in the production of hamburgers? Who has absolute advantage inthe production of pancakes?d.) Who has comparative advantage in the production of hamburgers? Who has comparativeadvantage in the production of pancakes?e.)

Her opportunity cost of producing a second boat per day is per day. Now, suppose Yvette is currently using combination C, producing two boats per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a third boat per day is per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Yvette increases her production of boats, her opportunity cost of producing one more boat Suppose Yvette buys a new tool that allows her to produce tvice as many boats per hour as before but doesn't affect her ability to produce balls. Use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot her new PPC on the previous graph. Because she can now make more boats per hour, Yvette's opportunity cost of producing balls is it was previously.

Using the following combinations as Production Possibilities data for iPads and HDTVS, answer the following questions: А В D iPads 5,000 4,500 3,500 2,000 HDTVS 1,000 2,000 3.000 4,000 In the Production Possibilities Function and schedule shown above, a production combination of 3,500 iPads and 1,500 HDTVS would enjoy (a utility / an economy / an opportunity cost / a free lunch / an international trade) [circle all that apply] if one or more resources are used more efficiently. Consequently, if this happens, this economy's production possibilities will become (attainable / unattainable / efficient / inefficient / impossible with current resources) [circle all that apply]. е.

Show this point on the production possibilities curve of each person, and label that point X on your graph above. What is the total production of each good? • Suppose that Theo and Marlee agree to exchange 4 bananas for 5 pounds of rice. Under this agreement, Theo sells 15 pounds of his 30 pounds of rice to Marlee, in exchange for 12 of her 50 bananas.

Below is a production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Happyland, acountry that produces only two goods- wine and cheese. wine cheese a) Explain what the production possibilities frontier is and how it illustrates scarcity. b) What happens to the marginal opportunity costof cheese production in Happyland as the country increases its cheese production? (increase, decrease, unchanged or indeterminate?) Explain how you can tell this from the PPFand why it happens. c) Briefly describe two specific policies the government of Happyland could undertake to shift out their PPF in future periods. (By specific policies, I mean something they can actually do to change productivity for either or both of these goods. "Increase resources," for example, is not a specific policy. What resources and what type of policy could increase the resources used for either of these products?)Refer to the following production possibilities table for consumer goods (automobiles) and capital goods (forklifts): Production Alternatives Type of Production A B D E Automobiles 4 8 Forklifts 30 27 21 12 a.
