Chapter Problem 1 The table shows the quantities of corn and beef that a farm can produce. Corn (bushels per year) and Beef (pounds per year) 250 and 0 200 and 300 100 and 500 0 and 550 Draw the farm's PPF for corn and beef. Draw a point that shows an inefficient combination of corn and beef. Label it A. Draw a point that shows an unattainable combination of corn and beef. Label it B. Draw a point that shows an efficient combination of corn and beef. Label it C.

Suppose the United States produces only two goods: alfalfa and cars. The following graph shows the United States's current production possibilities frontier, along with six output combinations represented by black points (plus symbols) labeled A to F. Complete the following table by indicating whether each point represents output combinations that are inefficient, efficient, or unattainable. Point Inefficient Efficient Unattainable A B C D E F

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 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. Quantity of cotton PPF Quantity of soybeans
