The graph to the right depicts an economy, Home, that produces both flowers and soybeans. Flowers are the labor intensive good and soybeans are the land intensive good. Home presently exports flowers. The graph also indicates Home's optimal point of production, X. Suppose that Home has acquired more land in which it can now produce 12 units of soybeans if all land were devoted toward its production. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw the new production possibilities frontier that indicates this biased growth of land in Home. Properly label this curve. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object. The growth biased toward land causes OA. export-biased growth. O B. a decrease in the relative price of flowers. OC. a rightward shift of the relative supply curve. O D. import-biased growth. 16- 15- 14- 13- 12- 11- 10- 9- 7- 6- 5- Growth of a Factor Soybean output VV TT 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Flower output €
An economy consists of three workers: Paolo, Van, and Carlos. Each works 10 hours a day and can produce two services: mowing lawns and washing cars. In an hour, Paolo can either mow 1 lawn or wash 2 cars; Van can either mow 1 lawn or wash 1 car; and Carlos can either mow 2 lawns or wash 1 car. For each of the scenarios listed in the following table, determine how many lawns will be mowed and how many cars will be washed per day and enter these values into the corresponding row. Scenario All three spend all their time mowing lawns. (A) All three spend all their time washing cars. (B) All three spend half their time on each activity. (C) Paolo spends half his time on each activity, while Van only washes cars and Carlos only mows lawns. (D) In the following table, identify the opportunity cost of washing cars for each worker.

The following graph shows the production possibilities frontier (PPF) of an economy that produces drinking water and steel. The black points (plus symbols) represent three possible output levels in a given month. You can select the points to see their exact coordinates. Suppose the economy initially produces 6 million gallons of drinking water and 200,000 tons of steel, which is represented by point A. The opportunity cost of producing an additional 2 million gallons of drinking water (that is, moving production to point B) is _________ (options: 24000, 32000, 40000, 48000, 60000). Suppose, instead, that the economy currently produces 168,000 tons of steel and 8 million gallons of drinking water, which is represented by point B. Now the opportunity cost of producing an additional 2 million gallons of drinking water (that is, moving to point C) is ________ (options: 24000, 32000, 40000, 48000, 60000). Comparing your answers in the two previous paragraphs, you can see that the…

The accompanying graph contains the production possibilities frontier (PPF) for Rubberland. Rubberland only makes two products, rubber band balls and rubber hoses, and on a given day can produce according to the PPF in the graph. Point A on the PPF represents the combination of the two goods Rubberland currently produces. When a new method of rubber processing is discovered, the productivity of all Rubberland's inputs increases. Please shift the PPF to show this change. Assume that Rubberland does not make more rubber band balls than they originally made at point A but still maximize their productive capabilities. Move point A to their new production point. How many more rubber hoses do they now produce per day than before? 10 more hoses per day Quantity of rubber band balls 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 0 Rubberland's Production Possibilities. 10 20 30 40 50 60 Quantity of rubber hoses PPF 70 80 90 100 6
