Refer to the following production possibilities table for con. sumer goods (automobiles) and capital goods (forklifts): LO1.6 a. Show these data graphically. Upon what specific assump- tions is this production possibilities curve based? b. If the economy is at point C, what is the cost of one more automobile? Of one more forklift? Which characteristic of the production possibilities curve reflects the law of increas- ing opportunity costs: its shape or its length? c. If the economy characterized by this production possibilities table and curve is producing 3 automobiles and 20 forklifts, what could you conclude about its use of its available resources? d. Is production at a point outside the production possibilities curve currently possible? Could a future advance in technol- ogy allow production beyond the current production possi- bilities curve? Could international trade allow a country to consume beyond its current production possibilities curve?!…arrow_forwardBrewed coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world and a big market in Singapore. In recentyears Singaporean consumers have become concerned that coffee farmers often receive very lowprices by large coffee companies buying their beans and selling them in international markets. Forthis reason, fair trade coffee has reached supermarket shelves and coffee shops. Because producingfair trade coffee includes providing extra income for the farmers, this product is more costly to makethan other coffee types of comparable quality. Using the demand-supply model, analyse this changein consumer preferences. Examine the likely consequences in one or two markets of your choice. Limits 500 wordsarrow_forward
