- Please help with the following questionarrow_forward19arrow_forwardKevin and Maria are farmers. Each one owns a 20-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of alfalfa and barley each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing alfalfa or barley or to produce alfalfa on some of the land and barley on the rest.

- Carmen and Dennis live on a desolate island. They spend their days fishing or climbing trees to collect coconuts. The following table shows how much of each activity Carmen and Dennis can produce for each hour of work. They each can work up to 12 hours a day. Fish per hour Coconuts per hour Carmen 40 8 Dennis 28 7 On a piece of paper, draw Carmen's PPF with fish on the horizontal (x) axis and coconuts on the vertical (y) axis. Carment's PPF extends from Question Blank 1 of 9 to Question Blank 2 of 9. (Hint: your answer should be in the form of a point (x,y).) Question Blank 3 of 9 has an absolute advantage in the production of fish, and Question Blank 4 of 9 has an absolute advantage in the production of coconuts. Carmen's opportunity cost of producing 1 coconut is Question Blank 5 of 9 fish, while Dennis' opportunity cost of producing 1 coconut is Question Blank 6 of 9 fish. Because Carmen has a Question Blank 7 of 9 opportunity cost of producing…arrow_forwardOlivia and Helen produce shirts and ties. The figure shows their PPF s . A graph with ties on the x-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments and shirts on the y-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments. There is a downward-sloping line labeled PPF subscript Helen. The line starts at the y-intercept of 25 shirts and ends at the x-intercept of 15 ties. There is another downward-sloping line labeled PPF subscript Olivia. The line starts at the y-intercept of 15 shirts and ends at the x-intercept of 20 ties. These two lines intersect at a point corresponding to 6.8 shirts and 10.9 ties.051015202530051015202530TiesShirts PPF Subscript OliviaPPFOlivia PPF Subscript HelenPPFHelen A graph with ties on the x-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments and shirts on the y-axis from 0 to 30 in 5-unit increments.

- The following scenario examines the relationship between marginal and average values. Suppose Jelani is a high school basketball player. The following table presents their game-by-game results for foul shots. Fill in the columns with Jelani's foul-shooting percentage for each game and their overall foul-shooting average after each game. Game Result Total Game Foul-Shooting Percentage Average Foul-Shooting Percentage Game 1 8/10 80 2 14/20 3 15/25 4 18/30 5 26/40 FREE-THROW PERCENTAGE On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot Jelani's foul-shooting percentage for each game individually, and use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot Jelani's overall average foul-shooting percentage after each game. Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically. 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 8/10 6/10 1/5 3/5 8/10 0 2 GAME 3 80 4 5 Game Foul-Shooting Percentage Average Foul-Shooting…arrow_forwardWhich would be technically efficient and which would be economically efficient?arrow_forwardWould you rather have efficiency or variety? That is, one opportunity cost of the variety of products we have is that each product costs more per unit than if there were only one kind of product of a given type, like shoes. Perhaps a better question is, “What is the right amount of variety? Can there be too many varieties of shoes, for example?” the bold question i dont understadnwhat they are trying to ask me to doarrow_forward
