Explain how each of the following situations would affect a nation's production possibilities curve. a. A law is passed which makes community college tuition-free for all U.S. citizens. b. An unexpectedly mild spring results in a bumper crop of citrus fruit in both Florida and California. c. A change in immigration laws significantly increases the number of immigrant workers entering the country. d. The amount of time that unemployed workers can collect unemployment insurance is increased from 26 weeks to 96 weeks during a recession, resulting in workers remaining unemployed for a longer period of time. e. An innovation in desalination technology allows for the more efficient conversion of saltwater to freshwater. f. A radiation leak at a nuclear power plant results in the long-term evacuation of a 10,000 square-mile area, which significantly reduces the nation's productive capacity.

In the table below are listed a series of points that define an economys production possibility frontier for goods Y and X. Y 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 X 0 400 1600 3600 6400 10000 14400 19600 25600 32400 40000 Plot these pairs of points to scale, on graph paper. (b) Given the shape of this PPF is the economy made up of individuals who are similar or different in their production capabilities? (c) What is the opportunity cost of producing 100 more Y at the combination (X = 3600, Y = 700). (d) Suppose next there is technological change so that at every output level of good Y the economy can produce 10 percent more X. Enter a new row in the table containing the new values, and plot the new PPF.

1. Imagine a country experiences an increase in the resources used to produce a good depicted on the y-axis of a PPF. How would this change the countries PPF? a)The y-intercept would decrease but the x-axis would remain the same b)The y-intercept would increase but the x-axis would remain the same c)The x-intercept would decrease but the y-axis would remain the same d)The x-intercept would increase but the y-axis would remain the same 2. Consider the curved PPF below. What is happening to the opportunity cost of spices as the country produces more spices? a)The opportunity cost is staying the same b)The opportunity cost is increasing c)The opportunity cost is decreasing
