Given the following diagram of a production possibilities frontier for a country. Assume that this country produces only two types of goods, capital goods (K) and consumer goods (C). (Graph is not drawn to scale.) CAPITAL GOODS (K) LACO,250) B(409200) c C200, ISo) D (300, l00) E(GO0,0) CONSUMER 600as (C) e. Suppose that there is a technological improvement in producing consumer goods that results in twice as many units of consumer goods being produced from the available resources in this economy. Draw the new production possibility frontier for this economy given this change. Assume that there are no changes in technology with regard to capital good production.
What is an example of a problem in the world today, not mentioned in the chapter, that has an economic dimension?
Please help to solve this into detail. Thank you.
Suppose a new drug was discovered that slowed the deterioration of health that accompanies aging. (All the graphs you draw should include labels, down and right arrows to indicate the changes before and after the new drug were discovered). a.) What's the effect on optimal health H* ? Draw its marginal efficiency of capital (MEC) curve. b.) What's the effect on the available time for work Tw and play Tz ? Draw its labor–leisure graph including both budget constraints and indifference curve. c.) Draw the production possibilities frontier. Explain it.
