Homework (Ch 02) Suppose South Africa produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for alfalfa, an agricultural good, and industrial robots, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of an immigration law that results in fewer workers entering the country. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then drag one or both endpoints to the desired position. Points will snap into position, so if you try to move a point and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. 300 PPF 250 200 150 100 O RIAL ROBOTS (Thousands) O I

Beth can read 30 pages of astronomy in an hour. She can also read 20 pages of sociology in an hour. She spends 6 hours per day studying.   **Use the blue line (circle symbol) to draw Beth's production possibilities frontier (PPF) for reading astronomy and sociology.   Diagram has Astronomy Pages on the left from 0-200 in increments of 20's On the bottom of the Diagram it lists Sociology Pages numbered the same fom 0-200 in increments of 20.   Beth's opportunity cost of reading 60 pages of sociology is ___________   pages of astronomy.

Loc and Ashima are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of maize and squash each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing maize or squash or to produce maize on some of the land and squash on the rest. Loc SQUASH (Pounds) Ashima On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Loc's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Ashima's PPF. 120 108 96 84 72 60 48 36 24 12 0 Maize (Pounds per acre) 12 36 0 60 120 Squash (Pounds per acre) 4 9 180 + + + + 240 300 360 420 480 540 600 MAIZE (Pounds) has an absolute advantage in the production of maize, and Loc's opportunity cost of producing 1 pound of squash is squash is pounds of maize.
