If the nation depicted in Table 2.2 is producing at combination E, the opportunity cost of producing the tenth unit of consumer good is: A 1 unit of capital good. B C D E zero unit of capital good. 6 units of capital goods. 4 units of capital goods. 10 units of capital goods. Given below is the production possibilities schedule for capital goods and consumer goods. Table 2.2 Production Possibilities Schedule Combination Capital Goods Consumer Goods 10

Suppose that an economy produces only 2 goods, beer and pizza. Show a typical production possibilities frontier for this country and use it to define and explain the opportunity cost concept and the concept of increasing opportunity costs. If a technology was invented that made the production of beer much more efficient but had no effect on the production of pizza how would the production possibilities frontier change (show it). While all points on the production possibilities curves maximize production, which point maximizes satisfaction? 1. With reference to a diagram, show and explain how a market, left on its own, will tend toward an equilibrium in which there is neither a surplus nor a shortage of the product. 1. What condition must be met in order to conclude that an economy is maximizing social well-being? Do the equilibriums given by individual markets necessarily lead to the maximization of social well-being (that is, if demand is equal to supply, can you conclude that…
