- The accompanying graph contains the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Rubberland. Rubberland only makes two products, rubber band balls and rubber hoses, and on a given day can produce according to the PPF in the graph. Point A on the PPF represents the combination of the two goods Rubberland currently produces. When a new method of rubber processing is discovered, the productivity of all Rubberland's inputs increases. Please shift the PPF to show this change. Assume that Rubberland does not make more rubber band balls than they originally made at point A but still maximize their productive capabilities. Move point A to their new production point. How many more rubber hoses do they now produce per day than before?arrow_forwardNote: Please help with last graph and if anything already done is incorrect!arrow_forwardUnsure how to solve properlyarrow_forward

Which of the following statements is most true? A) Plant R has the comparative advantage to produce radios but not calculators. B) Plant R has the comparative advantage to produce both goods.

- Paul's PPF Sue's PPF Cheese Cheese 100 80 60 Ham 30 Ham Based on the graph above, which of the following statements is true? The Principle of Absolute Advantage does not help us determine how trade would benefit Paul and Sue. O Sue would lose out by trading with Paul, because she is less competitive than Paul in the production of both goods. O Paul has nothing to gain from trading with Sue, since he is better in making both goods. Sue has an absolute advantage in the production of cheese.arrow_forwardThe budget constraint model and the production possibilities frontier (PPF) model both illustrate (select ALL that apply): O allocative efficiency O productive effieciency O a curved line to represent both the budget constraint and the PPF the tradeoffs in choosing more of one good at the cost of less of the other O comparative advantage O constraints on what we can have due to scarce resourcesarrow_forwardSuppose an economyuses two resorces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Captial is relativley more useful in prducing cloth, and labor ir relativley more useful in prducing wheat. If the supply of cpatial falls by 10% and the suppy of labor increases by 10%, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?arrow_forward
- CAPITAL GOODS Use the diagram below to answer the questions that follow. M. CONSUMER GOODS (a) What change could cause the PPF to shift from the original curve (HJ) to the new curve (MN)? (b) Under what conditions might an economy be operating at point Z? (c) Why might a government implement a policy to mnove the economy from Point V to Point W?

If this economy were currently operating at point D, then in order to make more movies: A Movies (number per year) B D Milk (gallons per year) the first productive resources to switch to making movies should be those with the lowest opportunity cost of making milk. no productive resources would need to switch from making milk to movies because each resource should continue to be used according to its comparative advantage. no productive resources would need to switch from making milk to movies because point D is already efficient. the first productive resources to switch to making movies should be those with the highest opportunity cost of making milk.arrow_forwardWhat can cause the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) to contract, that is to say, move the PPF further to the left? A) Minimum Wage B) Price Ceiling C) An increase in raw material costs needed in production D) Price Floorarrow_forward
