Question
Could you solve d, e, and f please?

Transcribed Image Text:Question Mary and Jason are a new couple trying to understand their family production plans.
Suppose they conduct two types of production: household production (HP) and market production
(MP). If Mary carries out household production, her production value is equivalent to $20 each
hour. If she does market production, she gets paid $15 each hour. Jason's production value is $12
per hour if he does household production. If he does market production, he gets paid $25 per hour.
Assume Mary and Jason each work 8 hours on a typical workday.
a) Calculate and depict Mary and Jason's daily production possibilities.
b) Assume Mary and Jason conduct market production, only. Calculate and depict the family
production possibility. If they wish to keep some household production, who shall do it,
and what will be the new production possibility? Show it in a graph.
c) Alternatively, if Mary and Jason conduct household production only, what would be the
family production possibility? If they wish to keep some market production, who should
do it, and what will be the new production possibility? Show it in a graph.
d) If Mary and Jason pool their resources (time) and split the time equally between household
production and market production, what would be the family production possibilities?
Show them in a graph.
e) Is there a gain for Mary and Jason to collaborate? If so, show it in a diagram.
f) Briefly discuss two potential disadvantages of specialization and exchange.
g) Suppose despite their specialization, Mary prefers household production and Jason prefers
market work. Construct a proper diagram to describe Mary and Jason's general work
preferences and explain why.
