The graph to the right depicts an economy, Home, which produces flowers and soybeans. Its production possibilities frontier is shown as TT. One of Home's isovalue lines is also shown as VV. Home exists and trades with a second country, Foreign which also produces flowers and soybeans. Assume that Home is maximizing its value of output. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, identify this maximizing point and label it with an X. Also assume that Home consumers maximize their utility. The indifference curve for Home is labeled IC. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the point of consumption by Home consumers. Label this point Z. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Which of the following statements is true? O A. Home exports 4 units of soybeans. OB. Home imports 4 units of flowers. OC. Home imports 2 units of soybeans. O D. Home exports 4 units of flowers. 26- 24- 22+ 20- 18- 16- 14- 12- 10- 8- 6- 4- 2+ 0+ 0 Trade in the Standard Model (Home) Soybean Production IC VV TT 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 Flower Production Q U

Assume that two countries, A and B, can produce Beef and Barbecues and the production possibilities frontiers of two countries are represented by: Country A: Beef = 30 - 1.25 BBQ and Country B: BBQ = 15 - 0.5 Beef Barbecues are measured in units, beef in kilograms. a) On a single chart, graph the production possibility frontiers for Country A and for Country B. Make sure you use a good scale and mark all your axes and important curves or points. b) Interpret the slope and the shape of the PPF for each country and make the relevant comparisons. c) Assume that each country allocates half of its resources to the production of beef and half of its resources to the production of barbecues. Under autarky (No trade), how much would each country consume of the two products? Plot these points on the graph as Ca and Cb respectively d) Should either of these countries specialize in the production of beef and/or barbecues? If yes, explain which country and which products and why. If they…

9. Draw a PPF curve for the macroeconomy of Germany (a large producer of capital goods). Assume that Germany has an unemployment rate of 7%. (Hint: draw the dashed line assuming a full employment level of 4.5% unemployment rate and consider only consumption and capital goods in the economy.)

The primary benefit that results when a nation employs its resources in accordance with the principle of comparative advantage is? a.an expansion in investment resulting from a reallocation of resources away from consumption. b.an increase in the profitability of business enterprises resulting from an increase in investment. c.greater equality of income resulting from an increase in the number of workers. d.a larger output resulting from a more efficient use of resources.

1 Answer the following questions: Your hard work was rewarded by a bonus payment of RMB 7000 from your employer. You decided to spend the entire RMB 7000 on buying a new Huawei cellphone although you have a less preferred option of going to Guangzhou for a short trip by spending RMB 5000. Is there an actual (explicit) cost of getting the Huawei phone? What is the opportunity cost concemned - RMB 0, RMB 5000 or RMB 7000? Explain your answer. [Hint: By explicit cost, consider if any money comes from your own pocket] If the decision to buy the cellphone remains valid, but there has been no bonus payment and you have to pay for the phone with your own money. Will the opportunity cost be different from your answer in part a.? Explain. You made a RMB 1000 deposit in your Piggy bank on getting a new iPhone priced at RMB 9000 (i.e. RMB 8000 has yet to be paid to get the phone) which you thought was totally worth it. Before completing the transaction, you came to realize that a new Huawei…
