(a) Show a point U that would indicate unemployed resources in Sluggerville. (b) Draw a new curve B that illustrates the results of improved technology in the production of bats, but no change in the production efficiency of peanuts. (c) Show a point G that would indicate a point that is currently unattainable in the production of peanuts and bats in Sluggerville. Peanuts (metric tons) Bats (100,000s)

Why is a production possibilities frontier typically drawn as a curve, rather than a straight line?
Explain why societies cannot make a choice above their production possibilities frontier and should not make a choice below it.
What are the similarities between a consumers budget constraint and societys production possibilities frontier, not just graphically but analytically?
1.The prairie dog has always been considered a problem for American cattle ranchers. They dig holes that cattle and horses can step in and they eat grass necessary for cattle. Recently, ranchers have discovered that there is a demand for prairie dogs as pets. In some areas prairie dogs can sell for as high as $150. Cattlemen are now fencing off prairie dog towns on their land so these towns will not be disturbed by their cattle.Draw a production possibilities frontier showing a rancher's production option between cattle production and prairie dog production showing increasing opportunity cost and show what would happen in each of the following situations. (Use a separate graph for each situation.)a. The outcome is efficient, with ranchers choosing to produce equal numbers of cattle and prairie dogs. b. As a protest against the government introducing the gray wolf back into the wild in their state, ranchers decide not to use 25% of the available grassland for grazing. c. The price of…

(Use a separate graph for each situation.) a) The government grants new leases to ranchers, giving them 10,000 new acres of grassland each for grazing. b) A drought destroys most of the available grass for grazing of cattle, but not prairie dogs since they also eat plant roots.
3. Suppose the Canada can produce cattle or corn with a given amount of resources. Below is a graphdepicting the production possibility frontier for Canada and the marginal benefit and cost of a bushel ofcorn. Discuss the relationship between the marginal cost and marginal benefit of corn and the production ofboth corn and cattle.(a) Discuss the overallocation of resources, underallocation of resources, and optimal allocation of resources. (b) When operating at the optimal level of corn production, what is the optimal level of cattle production? Whyis this the optimal amount (why not more or less cattle)?

After sorting, some of ti plant are shown in the table below. hsported to an electric power plant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power Site A Site B Average hauling distance 5 miles 4 miles $110,000 Annual rental fee for solid-waste site $4,000 Hauling cost $1.43/yd"-mile $1.43/yd'-mile If the power plant will pay $8.06 per cubic yard of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city's viewpoint and assume that 200,000 cubic yards of refuse will be hauled to the plant for one year only. One site must be selected. The total cost of locating the power plant at the Site A is $. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
