At a certain point you are told which good is capital-intensive, don't use that information to answer any questions that come before. The two figures show the Production Possibilities Frontier for two countries, Home and Foreign. Also shown for each country is the indifference curve that is tangent to its PPF. There are two factors: capital and labor. There are two goods, Movies and Books.

In the context of the production possibilities frontier, opportunity cost can be measured by the A) ratio of the costs of the two goods being produced. B) slope of the frontier. C) ratio of the amounts of the two goods being produced. D) amount of labor needed to produce the goods and services.
(d) Determine the optimal consumption and production at Home and Foreign under autarky. Depict this situation in a graph that includes each country’s PPF and indifference curves for the representative consumer.
Which of the following would most likely shift the production possibilities curve inward? Otechnological progress an increase in the production of capital goods an increase in the number of hours factories are in use a decrease in the average number of hours worked per week

Use the PPF to answer the following questions: (a) At point F, how many sweaters are being produced? 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? (d) Can we determine if point F is allocatively efficient? If so, is it allocatively efficient?
Is this a good example of an opportunity cost? “To begin, I began selling prints of my pictures in 2019 throughout 2020. It's now closed. USPS and UPS were the options I had during this period to ship out orders. At the moment I didn’t have enough knowledge about USPS, so I chose to ship my prints via UPS rather than USPS. My orders weren’t delivered on time and upon arrival, the prints were damaged, and I spent a large amount of money shipping these orders out. The opportunity cost is the cost of USPS shipping.”

A small exchange economy is comprised of two of individuals, A and B, and two types of goods, x, ,x,. The individuals' preferences over two goods are can be represented by the following utility functions: U*(x;,.x; ) = min (2.x,x; ) and U* (x;,x;) = min(x;.2x, ). Initial endowments are 10 x, (individual A), and 10 x, (individual B). Calculate the price ratio which yields an equilibrium in the exchange market.
Consider an economy that has a labor endowment of L = 40 units. The production functions are x = 0.5L, and y = 4Ly, where x and y are consumption goods while L, and Ly represent the labor allocation. What is the equation for the PPF? 8x + y = 160 6x + 2y = 80 6x + y = 120 8x + 2y = 80
Which situation would most likely cause a nation's production possibilities curve to shift inward? The construction of more capital goods An increase in discrimination based on race An increase in the number of skilled immigrant workers The destruction from bombing and warfare in a losing military conflict
