The data below describe the current production possibilities for an economy that produces two goods: Livestock Products and Aquaculture products Quantities that can be produced per month with the currently available resources Aquaculture products 6000 5900 5700 5400 5200 4100 Livestock products 0 100 200 300 350 500 Label point A B C D E F Required: (a) Explain the existence of opportunity costs in this situation. (b) Plot the PPF. Put Livestock goods on the vertical axis; Aquaculture on the horizontal axis. Label the points. Be sure each axis is to scale. Scales can differ between axes. (c) “Your PPF slopes down because of tradeoffs.” Explain that sentence in words that make sense to someone not taking economics.

C. quantity produced of one good divided by the quantity produced of another good. d. quantity próduced of one good multiplied by the quantity produced of another good. NEXT PAGE ENG
It’s Friday night. You already have a ticket to aconcert, which cost you $30. A friend invites youto go out for a game of paintball instead.

Consider two individuals, Fred and Barney. In one hour, Fred can produceeither 15 gallons of beer, or 3 gallons of wine. In one hour, Barney can produce2 gallons of beer or 4 gallons of wine. Assume both goods can be produced incontinuous quantities. Assume that each person wants to consume 3 gallons of wine, then as muchbeer as they can. Determine what each person will end up consumingi) when they cannot trade.ii) when they can trade at a price of 1gallon wine = 2 gallons beer.Use this to explain why trade benefits both consumers.
