- What should I assume when I am asked to make a Production Possibilities Curve?arrow_forwardCarolyn and Jen each run a food cart that sells pretzels and hot dogs. Carolyn can produce and sell 790 pretzels or 410 hot dogs in an 8-hour shift. Jen lives in a different city and can only sell for a 6-hour shift, but in that time she can produce and sell 670 pretzels or 240 hot dogs. Complete parts a through e below. a) Calculate the opportunity costs of each food item for both Carolyn and Jen. For Carolyn, the opportunity cost of a pretzel is hot dog(s). For Carolyn, the opportunity cost of a hot dog is pretzel(s). For Jen, the opportunity cost of a pretzel is hot dog(s). For Jen, the opportunity cost of a hot dog is pretzel(s). (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.) b) Does anyone have a comparative advantage in either food? Why or why not? has a comparative advantage in pretzels, since a comparative advantage in hot dogs, since c) Calculate the productivity of Carolyn and Jen for both goods. Carolyn's productivityi pretzels is pretzel(s) per hour.…arrow_forwardQUESTION 9 Oliver is writing CML assessment questions for two introductory economics courses at UQ (ECON1010 and ECON1020), and currently finds himself with a 4-hour period in which he can complete either task.

- Does an increase in the opportunity cost mean that you have to give up more to obtain something else? What does an increase the the opportunity cost mean?arrow_forwardDraw a production possibilities curve showing the number of apples and pears that one person can pick in a given time period. Show efficient, inefficient, and impossible levels of output. Explain why a combination of apples and pears (i.e. a level of output at a middle point along the curve) gives you more fruit that if you had picked only apples. The highest quality cricket bats, used by Test cricketers, sell for over $1,000AUD. They are made from a special type of willow tree grown specifically for that purpose. Similar bats, made from cheaper willow, sell for less than $200. Suppose a plant disease destroys half of the world’s high quality willow trees. The stock of cheaper willow trees is unaffected. (a) Explain how the market for high quality cricket bats might be affected by this change. (b) Explain how the market for cricket bats made from cheaper willow might be affected by the change in the market for high quality bats.arrow_forwardIn the context of the production possibilities frontier, opportunity cost can be measured by the A) ratio of the costs of the two goods being produced. B) slope of the frontier. C) ratio of the amounts of the two goods being produced. D) amount of labor needed to produce the goods and services.arrow_forward
- A production possibilities curve that is concave to the origin (bowed out) implies that as more of a good is produced, the opportunity cost (A) remains constant (B) decreases (C) decreases at first and then increases (D) increases (E) increases at first and then decreasesarrow_forwardFrom the following list, select all the statements that apply to output combinations inside the production possibilities curve. Multiple select question. Production levels are within reach. The output levels are unattainable. Some resources are not fully used. Resources are being efficiently employed.arrow_forwardSuppose a production possibilities frontier includes the following combinations: Cars Washing Machines 0 1,000 100 600 200 0 What is the cost of producing an additional washing machine when 50 cars are being produced? When 150 cars are being produced? What do your answers tell you about opportunity costs?arrow_forward
- How do you define opportunity costarrow_forwardWhich of the following are made constant when applying the production possibilities curve theory? Select one: a. Trading rate between goods b. Total exports and imports c. Total number of factors of productions d. International pricingarrow_forwardFIGURE 2-10 Apples (bushels) Refer to Figure 2-10.
