- A great nation of Wakanda has two sectors. The largest sector of the economy involves mining vibranium, refining it, and using it for producing vibranium shields. The second sector is about mining and polishing infinity stones. Wakanda sells both vibranium shields and infinity stones on the underground intergalactic markets. identify and briefly explain if and how each of the following affects Wakanda's production possibilties frontier (will it shift or tilt, upward or inward, etc.) (a) A new deposit of vibranium has been discovered recently, The new discovery make vibranium miners (but not infinity stone miners) much more productive. (b) Due to increased intergalactic hostilities, demand for infinity stones has dropped dramatically.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between productive and allocation efficiency.

Today the professor said that the market decides how much of each good or service to produce. I don’t understand what that means. Nobody decides how many goods to produce. I’m so confused! BOB: Okay, I see where you are confused. Let’s run through it one more time. You are correct that in a market system, no one person decides what quantities of goods to produce in the economy, though that may be the case in other types of economic systems. In a market economy, output levels are determined by individual producers and consumers buying and selling goods. Suppose that in the market for smart phones, more smart phones were produced than consumers wanted to buy. In other words, smart phone producers have surplus smart phones that they cannot sell. ______ (options: Producers, Consumers) will _____ (options: lower, raise) the price of each smart phone…arrow_forwardi need help with this questionarrow_forward
- PLEASE SHOW ME HOW TO DO THE RIGHT CALCULATIONS.arrow_forwardI need help solving this problem. Thank you!arrow_forwardThe graph to the right depicts an economy, Home, that produces both flowers and soybeans. Flowers are the labor intensive good and soybeans are the land intensive good. Home presently exports flowers. The graph also indicates Home's optimal point of production, X. Suppose that Home has acquired more land in which it can now produce 12 units of soybeans if all land were devoted toward its production. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw the new production possibilities frontier that indicates this biased growth of land in Home. Properly label this curve. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. The growth biased toward land causes OA. export-biased growth. O B. a decrease in the relative price of flowers. OC. a rightward shift of the relative supply curve. O D. import-biased growth. 16- 15- 14- 13- 12- 11- 10- 9- 7- 6- 5- Growth of a Factor Soybean output VV TT 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Flower output €arrow_forward
