3. The first principle of economics discussed in Chapter 1 is that people face trade-offs. Use a production possibilities frontier to illustrate society's trade-off between two "goods"-a clean environment and the quantity of industria output. What do you suppose determines the shape and position of the frontier? Show what happens to the frontier if engineers develop a new way of producing electricity that emits fewer pollutants.

Consider the production possibilities frontier (PPF) that shows
the trade-off between the production of cotton and the production
of soybeans depicted in the figure to the right.
Use the three-point curved line drawing tool to show the effect
that
improved fertilizersimproved fertilizers
would have on the initial production possibilities frontier by
drawing a new production possibilities frontier. Properly label
this curve. .
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the
required objects.

The figure to the right illustrates the trade-offs facing Ford Motor Company The line in the graph is Ford's production possibilities frontier If Ford uses all its resources to produce trucks, how many can it produco? 9 thousand trucks per day (Enter a numeric response using a real number rounded to one decimal place.) Suppose Ford is currently building 6 thousand cars per day. To build an additional 1 thousand cars, how many fewer trucks can be built thousand fewer...

The Policy: Work on your own (graded) proposing a new government program that will hire engineers to develop a newer way of producing electricity that emits fewer pollutants. The President is interested in the trade-offs that the licy will change those trade-offs. He is just interested in the trade-off between two "goods"- a clean environment and the quantity of industrial output. Your briefing of the President will cover the following issues/questions. Be sure to write your answers the same way...
Consider the Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) for a country, Theophili. Using a diagram, show whether each of the following events causes the PPF to contract, expand, or not change at all. Assume that Theophili can either produce candles or liturgical books. a) The country experiences immigration of skilled workers. b) An earthquake destroys half of the country’s factories, and kills half of its workers. c) A new technology improves the production process of both candles and liturgical books. d) Theophili...
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...
