- Create a PPF to manufacture butter and guns.a. Explain verbally and graphically the concept of "free lunch."b. Explain verbally and graphically what movement on the PPF signifies between two production points. Is this regarded as "a free lunch?" What is your justification?arrow_forwardThe graph shows the Production Possibility Frontiers of Writ (orange, dotted line) and Greg (green, solid line) when they gather pumpkins or branches individually. Drag and drop the points A, B and C to form the Production Possibility Frontier when Wirt and Greg specialize and exchange the production of branches and pumpkins. Note: Use the circle in the top, left corner of the textbox as the point. Drab Point A as the top left point. Drag Point B to the point at which the joint PPF changes slope. Drag Point C to the bottom right point.

- Fill in the Blanks cupcakes A В muffins Type your answers in all of the blanks and submit Consider this unusual PPF. The opportunity cost of making cupcakes is lowest at point A (A, B, or C). The opportunity cost of making cupcakes is highest at point C (A, B, or C).arrow_forwardGraphically show William's production possibilities frontier. Debate should be on the vertical axis. Label four points on the graph: (A) a point inside the PPF; (B) a point on the PPF where debate is more valued than studying; (C) a point on the PPF where studying is more valued than debate; (D) a point outside the PPF. Explain the effects of an economy at point A Explain the effects of an economy at point B Explain the effects of an economy at point C Explain the effects of an economy at point at point D (assume that nothing in our economy changes) Does our PPF experience the law of increasing opportunity cost? How do we know? Under what conditions can we have a linear PPF rather than a "bowed-out" PPF? Sketch a PPF that experiences increasing opportunity cost and a PPF that experiences constant opportunity cost.arrow_forwardAt one point along a PPF, 10 burgers and 7 sandwiches can be produced. At another point along the same PPF, 9 burgers and 10 sandwiches can be produced. The opportunity cost of a burger between these points is per burger. Select one: a. 7/10 of a sandwich b. 10/7 of a sandwich C. 3 sandwiches d. 1/3 of a sandwicharrow_forward

How many hard drives? (b) Label points A-H as either efficient, inefficient, or unattainable. (c) Can we determine if point F is productively efficient? If so, is it productively efficient?
