- What does the slope of a curve between two points have to do with the opportunity cost of producing additional units of good?arrow_forwardThe 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 Assume that Rubberland does not make more rubber band balls than they originally made at point A but still maximize their productive capabilities. Move point A to their new production point. How many more rubber hoses do they now produce per day than before? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.arrow_forwardA farmer produces both green beans and corn. The farmer must give up 31 bushels of corn to get 7 more bushels of green beans. If the rate of transformation (or tradeoff) between the two goods is constant, then the opportunity cost of 1 bushel of green beans in terms of bushel of corn is? The result should be given to two decimal places in absolute value (e.g if the result is 3.678, write 3.68, if the result is -3, write 3.00.) Your Answer:arrow_forward

Bushels of grain 0 0 12- C 16 Angela's hours of free time MRS - MRT 24 Angela's indifference curves Angela's feasible frontier O The MRS is the trade-off between grain and free time that Angela is constrained to make. At a point to the left of Angela's optimal choice, the MRS is smaller than the MRT. At a point to the right of Angela's optimal choice, she is less willing to trade grain for free time than at her optimal choice. O Since all Angela's indifference curves have the same MRS at 16 hours of free time, any choice of grain at 16 hours of free time is optimal.arrow_forward
