The figure shows an increase in resources that shifts the production possibilities frontier from PPF, to PPF2. For someone producing only wings, what is the change in opportunity cost compared with producing only pizza?
Initial opportunity cost for producing pizzas = 300/100 = 3 wings
Initial opportunity cost for producing wings = 100/300 = 0.33 pizzas
New opportunity cost for producing pizzas = 360/120 = 3 wings
New opportunity cost for producing wings = 120/360 = 0.33 pizzas
We can see that the opportunity cost for someone producing only wings remains the same and there is no change in the opportunity cost. And for someone producing only pizzas, the opportunity cost remains the same and there is no change in the opportunity cost.
The figure shows an increase in resources that shifts the production possibilities frontier from PPF, to PPF2.

The figure above shows a production possibilities frontier (PPF) for a society that makes two goods-pizza and wings. For each point in the figure, select the correct button below to show whether the point represents an efficient use of resources, an inefficient use of resources, or is unattainable. Point A: Point B: Point C: Point D: Point F:
Figure 1: PPF Production Possibilities Frontier 0 0 Pizza Multiple Choice 1. Refer to the Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) in Figure 1 on the next page. What is true about point A? (A) It is unattainable (B) Resources are being unused or misallocated (C) Capital exceeds labour in production (D) It is preferable to point B 2. Still referring to Figure 1, what is true about point B? (A) It represents diminishing and increasing opportunity cost (B) It is a...
Please answer both questions, with an explanation Suppose the given production possibilities frontier (PPF) graph shows the fictitious country of Ruritania currently producing at the point labeled Start. If a decision is reached to provide more public goods, to which point will Ruritania move? O D O c O B Start С What is the opportunity cost of that decision? O There is no opportunity cost since the economy is still producing on the PPF. Public goods The private goods...
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. PPF1 Quantity of soybeans
HW.A:3.1: Chapter 3 - Aplia Homework .1. Specialization and production possibilities Suppose Spain produces only smartphones and tablets. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specialized-that is, the same set of resources is equally useful in producing both tablets and smartphones The shape of Spain's production possibilities frontier (PPF) should reflect the fact that as Spain produces more tablets and fewer smartphones, the opportunity cost of producing each additional tablet a- Decrease b- increase The following graphs...
