Vistakon makes Acuvue TruEye and Acuvue Moist contact lenses. The following is Vistakon’s production possibilities frontier (PPF) for the two kinds of contact lenses. Use the graph to answer the questions below. If Vistakon is currently producing 2.5 billion Acuvue TruEye and 1.5 billion Acuvue Moist contact lenses per year, is it using its available resources efficiently or not? Why or why not? What is Vistakon’s opportunity cost of increasing Acuvue TruEye production from 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion lenses per year (in terms of Acuvue Moist contact lenses)? What will happen to the given Vistakon’s PPF if new technology facilitates production of Acuvue TruEye contact lenses? Show graphically (upload graphs below).

The LEGO Architecture Collection includes three items: the White House Model Building Kit (at $80 per kit), the U.S. Capitol Building Kit (at $40 per kit), and the Mar-a-LEGO Club Building Kit (at $20.24 per kit; empty classified document folders are extra). Total costs of production for different quantities of each item are given below. a.

Total cost 2000 3500 5500 8000 11000 14200 15000 b. Above what market price (to the nearest penny) should LEGO begin producing Mar-a-LEGO kits? That is, what is the "shutdown price" for Mar-a-LEGO kits?

In two or three complete sentences, describe how production volume influences a company's fixed costs and how production volume influences a company's variable costs.

Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Denall. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce almonds, shorts, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of almonds or shorts that can be produced by one hour of labor. Almonds Country (Pounds per hour of labor) Sequoia Denall Suppose that initially Denall uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 3 million hours per week to produce shorts, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 1 million hours per week to produce shorts. As a result, Sequola produces 12 million pounds of almonds and 16 million pairs of shorts, and Denall produces 6 million pounds of almonds and 36 million pairs of shorts. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of almonds and shorts it produces.…

Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce corn, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of corn or jeans that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Corn Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Felicidad 5 20   Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce corn and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million bushels of corn and 48 million pairs of jeans, and Felicidad produces 15 million bushels of corn and 20 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount…
