Suppose (for simplicity) that the U.S. economy uses one resource – labor – to produce two goods: soybeans and health care. The U.S. has 100 million workers at first. Each worker can produce either 10 bushels of soybeans or 2 units of health care each day.
On the graph below, draw the nation’s production possibilities frontier
Suppose the U.S. produces a total of 800 million bushels of soybeans per day.
- If the U.S. produces 800 million bushels of soybeans, how many units of health care per day can it produce? Show how you calculate this.

The following table shows the maximum amount of steel or aluminum that Canada and France can produce if all factors of production are fully employed. Assume that production occurs under constant-cost conditions. In the absence of trade, Canada produces and consumes 600 tons of aluminum and 300 tons of steel, and France produces and consumes 400 tons of aluminum and 600 tons of steel.
