Suppose there are two individuals, Casey and Rick, who live in a very simplified world where only two goods are produced and consumed; rice and beans. The production opportunity cost for Casey is 4.00kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Rick has a production opportunity cost of 2.00 kg of rice for every kilogram of beans. Casey eventually realizes that, through trade, both individuals can be better off. Rick is willing to trade. What price can be settled between these two parties such that both individuals can enjoy more rice and beans?

- You have decided to specialize in gathering firewood while Friday has specialized in fishing. Your time allocation sliders are set to allocate all of your time to gathering firewood. Now, use the additional sliders to state how many logs you will trade to Friday and how many fish you want in return. You must select a trade that make both you and Friday better off than you were before specialization and trading. In other words, you must both receive more than 2000 calories of fish and 32 logs of firewood. Both you and Friday’s consumption point is displayed on the PPF graphs as you adjust the trade.arrow_forwardWhat is the opportunity cost in this example? “ To begin, I began selling prints of my pictures in 2019 throughout 2020.

Suppose that the opportunity costs of production are constant, so that the PPF is a straight line. Further, when all resources are devoted to wine production, England can produce 200 (thousand) barrels. When all resources are devoted to wool production, England can produce 400 (thousand) bushels of wool. Suppose that a bushel of wool could be traded for a barrel of wine, one-for-one, on the international market. Draw a diagram illustrating the original situation, and this new situation, with wool on the X-axis and wine on the Y-axis. Meanwhile, in the country of Portugal, wool and wine can also be produced according to a linear PPF. However, when all resources are devoted to production of wine, Portugal can produce 100 barrels, but when all resources are devoted to wool production, Portugal can produce 50 bushels.…arrow_forward
