Suppose an economy uses two resouces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Capital is relatively more useful in producing cloth, and labor is relatively more useful in producing wheat. If the supply of capital falls by 10 persent and the supply of labor increases by 10 percent, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?
The economy was at point A producing 100X and 200Y. It moved to point B where it produces 200X
and 300Y. It follows that
point A may have been a point below the economy's production possibilities frontier (PPF), while
point B may lie on the PPF.
the economy's PPF could have shifted outward and point B was a point on the economy's old
PPF
the economy has moved from one point on its PPF to another point on the same PPF.
Consider an economy which uses all its resources to produce national security and consumer goods. Draw a PPF for this economy. Is the PPF convex and concave? Explain

Explain. If the economy is operating at point A, what does this mean? (one sentence) ( Assume at this point in time the economy is operating at point D, what does this mean?

How can the economy increase its production of both tea and snacks? Graph the PPF with and show an increase in its production.arrow_forwardBefore the first Gulf War, Kuwait had the capacity to produce a certain amount of oil from its oil wells. After the war, it found that capacity greatly diminished because the oil wells were on fire. Draw Kuwait's PPF before and after the war, assuming that the only two goods produced are oil and food. Further assume that setting the oil wells on fire did not affect Kuwait's ability to produce food. Explain why the PPF before the war is different from the PPF after the war.arrow_forward
