The correct option is C.) Alpha consumes more than Beta today, but it will grow slower than Beta.
It is because Beta is at a point where there is more of capital and less of consumption. In the future, due to more of capital goods it's growth will be greater as compared to growth of Alpha.
Two countries, Alpha and Beta, have identical production possibilities frontiers. Capital goods (per person) If Alpha...
Exhibit 2-17 Production possibilities curve Consumption goods Capital goods In Exhibit 2-17, if countries A and B currently have the same production possibilities curve (PPC) as given in the figure, but this year country A locates at point A on its PPC and country B locates at point B on its PPC, then country A: a. is more efficient than country B. b. is producing more capital goods than country B. O c. will grow at a faster rate than...
Suppose there are two economies, Alpha and Beta, which have the same production possibilities curves. If Beta devotes more resources to produce capital goods than consumer goods as compared to Alpha, then in the future 10 2 Consumer Goods Alpha will not be able to achieve full employment or productive efficiency Beta will not be able to achieve full employment or productive efficiency Beta will experience greater economic growth than Alpha
Alpha Food Beta Shelter In the figure are two linear production possibilities curves for countries Alpha and Beta. We can conclude that the opportunity cost of shelter is greater in Alpha than it is in Beta. the opportunity cost of shelter is greater in Beta than it is in Alpha the opportunity cost of food is greater in Alpha than it is in Beta.
Alpha and Beta, two tiny islands in the Pacific, produce pearls and pineapples. The following production possibilities schedules describe their potential output in tons per year:Instructions: Enter your responses as a whole number. Suppose Alpha and Beta agree that the terms of trade will be one for one and exchange 10 pearls for 10 pineapples. a. If Alpha produced 6 pearls and 15 pineapples while Beta produced 30 pearls and 8 pineapples before they decided to trade, how many pearls would each be...

Suppose Country A produces few consumption goods and many investment goods, whereas Country B produces few investment goods and many consumption goods. Other things being equal, what would you expect to happen? a. Per capita income will grow more rapidly in Country B. O b. Population will grow faster in Country B. O c. The production possibilities curve for Country A will shift out more rapidly than that of Country B. d. Assuming that both countries started with identical production...
4. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose Ireland produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for wheat, an agricultural good, and airplanes, a capital good. 4. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose Ireland produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for wheat, an agricultural good, and airplanes, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the...
An economy produces two goods: capital goods and consumer goods. Points on the production possibilities curve appear below: 2. roduction alternatives Capital ds per period Consumer goods per period 2018 14 8 A. If the economy is producing at alternative X, the opportunity cost of producing at Y instead of X is period a. 0 C. The production of 14 units of consumer goo and 1 unit of capital goods per period would a. result in full employment b. result...
2. Consumption possibilities based on comparative advantage When a country specializes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Freedonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce grain and sugar, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds...
4. Shifts in production possibilities Suppose Germany produces two types of goods: agricultural and capital. The following diagram shows its current production possibilities frontier for wheat, an agricultural good, and airplanes, a capital good. Drag the production possibilities frontier (PPF) on the graph to show the effects of a long drought that reduces the amount of water available for farmers to use for irrigation. Note: Select either end of the curve on the graph to make the endpoints appear. Then...
