Question 6 Listen Efficient resource allocation should be accomplished when any production of a product shows the marginal benefit outweighs marginal cost of its output. 1) True 2) False Question 7 ) Listen If we say that two variables are inversely related, this means that an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other. 1) True 2) False Question 8 ) Listen Consider the problem Amy faces of how to allocate her weekly allowance between books and videos. An increase in Amy's allowance will a) shift her budget line to the right b) rotate her budget line, allowing her to buy more videos but not more books c) rotate her budget line, allowing her to buy more books but not more videos O d) shift her budget line to the left
5. Opportunity cost and production possibilities Raphael is a skilled toy maker who is able to produce both trucks and kites. He has 8 hours a day to produce toys.

( attached image) Suppose Raphael is currently using combination D, producing one truck per day. His opportunity cost of producing a second truck per day is( 1, 3, 16, 19 kites) per day. Now, suppose Raphael is currently using combination C, producing two trucks per day. His opportunity cost of producing a third truck per day is ( 1,6,10, or 16 kites) per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as…

The 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 €

Consider the graph. Suppose the economy is currently at a point E on the production possibilities curve producing a units of services and b units of goods. After technological development raises the maximum amount of goods that can be produced by the economy, the economy moves to point E', producing a' and b' units of services and goods respectively. Which of the following situation is possible? Select all that apply. a. At E', a' = a and b' > b b. At E', a' > a and b' = b c. At E', a' > a and b' > b d. At E', a' < a and b' > b e. At E', a' < a and b' < b
