give three examples of important tradeoffs that you face in your life
Think about your own life. Maybe you are willing to spend 50 or 60 hours a week between school and work. Maybe you take care of young children and have a lot of home life responsibilities and you only spend 20 hours between school and work. Draw your own personal Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) for time spent doing school and work. Remember to plot out multiple possible combinations and then draw a line to connect them. Explain where you operate on your PPF and why. What are some of the opportunity costs you have to weigh to determine where you will operate along your personal PPF curve?

Suppose a nation has a total of 12 units of labor, which can be used to produce either guns or butter. One gun takes 6 units of labor to produce and 1 butter takes 2 units of labor to produce.  Explain why scarcity exists in this economy. Use the data as evidence of your reasoning.  What is the maximum quantity of guns that can be produced?  What is the maximum quantity of butter than can be produced?  Draw the nation’s production possibility curve.  What is the opportunity cost of guns in this nation?  Explain why the nation can’t produce both 3 guns and 4 butters.  Explain why the nation shouldn’t produce both 1 gun and 2 butters.

Q. 1 You are the mayor of a small town with 2000 residents. The head of your economic development agency recently conducted a survey in which the 2000 residents said that a public concert in the centre of town would be worth $20 to cach of them. Since it costs only $5000 to hold the concert, you organized and held the concert, which everyone in town enjoyed. But when you asked for donations to pay for the concert, you only collected $30 in total. What do you know? a. The survey certainly overstated how much the concert was worth to each resident. b. From the standpoint of total costs and benefits, the cost of the concert certainly exceceded the benefit. c. The concert was an example of the Tragedy of the Commons. d. Residents of the town were probably free riders.
