1 Turgut Ozal University Department of Economics ECO 152 Spring 2014 Assist. Prof. Dr. Umut UNAL PART A - Definitions 1) Define these terms: Capital Production Comparative advantage Investment Production possibility frontier (PPF) Marginal rate of transformation (MRT) Command economy Laissez-faire economy Consumer sovereignty PROBLEM SET #2 PART B - Problems 2) Suppose that a simple society economy has only one resource, labor. Labor can be used to produce only two commodities-x, a necessity good (food), and Y, a luxury good (music and merriment). Suppose that the labor force consists of 100 workers. One laborer can produce either 5 units of necessity per month (by hunting and gathering) or 10 units of luxury per month (by writing songs, playing the guitar, dancing, etc.). a) On a graph, draw the economy s production possibility frontier (ppf). Put the necessity good on the horizontal axis. Where does the ppf intersect the Y-axis? Where does it intersect the X-axis? What do these points mean? b) Suppose the economy produced at a point inside the ppf. Give at least two reasons why this could occur. What could be done to move the economy to a point on the ppf? c) Suppose you succeeded in lifting your economy to a point on its ppf. What point would you choose? How might your small society decide the point at which it wanted to be? d) Once you have chosen a point on the ppf, you still need to decide how your society s product will be divided. If you were a dictator, how would you decide? What would happen if you left product distribution to the free market? 1
2 3) Evelyn is inviting Darcy to a party at which she will serve both single-strength chocolate ice cream and chili. Darcy values chili and ice cream at $6 for the first ounce, and each additional ounce is worth half as much as the previous one. Evelyn makes it clear to Darcy that he should feel comfortable eating as much chili and ice cream as he wishes. But Darcy s stomach holds only 10 cubic inches of food. Each ounce of chili or ice cream takes up 2 cubic inches of stomach space. a. What is the opportunity cost to Darcy of eating each ounce of chocolate ice cream? b. Now suppose that the first ounce of ice cream is worth $12 to Darcy, and each additional ounce is worth half as much as the previous one. How much ice cream and how much chili should Darcy eat? 4) Argentina and Brazil both produce milk and bread with labor. The labor input is measured in person-hours, milk is measured in gallons and bread is measured in loaves. The table below shows labor requirements to produce a unit of milk and bread in each country. (It is assumed that the labor requirements per unit of output in production remain the same irrespective of the quantity of the two goods produced.) Argentina Brazil 1 gallon of milk loaf of bread a. What is the opportunity cost of producing an extra gallon of milk in Argentina? In Brazil? b. What is the opportunity cost of producing an extra loaf of bread in Argentina? In Brazil? Part C- Discussion 5) As long as all resources are fully employed, and every firm in the economy is producing its output using the best available technology, the result will be efficient. Agree or disagree? 6) Briefly describe the trade-offs involved in each of the following decisions. Specifically, list some of the opportunity costs associated with the decision, paying particular attention to the trade-offs between present and future consumption. a) After a stressful senior year in high school, Sherice decides to take the summer off instead of working before going to college. b) Frank is overweight and decides to workout everyday and to go on a diet. 2
3 c) Mei is very diligent about taking her car in for routine maintenance, even though it takes two hours of her time and costs $100 four times each year. d) Jim is in a big hurry. He runs a red light on the way to work. 7) Suppose that in a three-hour block of time you can either make 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies or word-process 10 pages of text or any combination on a straight line connecting these two extremes. In contrast, your roommate John can either make 4 batches of cookies or word-process 5 pages of text in a three-hour block of time, or any combination on a straight line connecting these two extremes. Which of the following is correct? a. Your comparative advantage is in making cookies. b. John s comparative advantage is in word-processing text. c. Your comparative advantage is in word-processing text. d. None of the above. 8) Ted can cook 5 one-pound hams in one hour or he can cook a dozen eggs in an hour. Bill can cook 10 one-pound hams in one hour, or he can cook 3 dozens of eggs in one hour. Which statement below is true? a. Ted should specialize in cooking eggs and Bill should specialize in cooking ham. b. Ted has a comparative advantage in cooking ham, and Bill has an absolute advantage in cooking ham. c. Ted should perform both tasks because he is better than Bill at both. d. Bill has an absolute advantage in both tasks, and a comparative advantage in cooking ham. e. Bill has a comparative advantage in cooking hams. PART D Multiple Choices 9) During the summer you have made the decision to attend summer school, which precludes you from working at your usual summer job in which you normally earn $6000 for the summer.
