Unit 2 [Microeconomics] Unit 2 Assignment: St Atanagio Name: Course Number: Section Number: Unit Number: Date: -2 - St Atanagio is a remote island in the Atlantic. The inhabitants grow corn and breed poultry. The accompanying table shows the maximum annual output combinations of corn and poultry that can be produced. Obviously, given their limited resources and available technology, as they use more of their resources for corn production, there are fewer resources available for breeding poultry. Maximum annual output options 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Quantity of Corn (pounds) 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 Quantity of Poultry (pounds) 0 300 500 600 700 775 850 1. Draw a production possibility frontier with corn on the horizontal axis and poultry on the vertical axis illustrating these options, showing points 1–7. 2. Can St. Atanagio produce 650 pounds of poultry and 650 pounds of corn? Explain. Where would this point lie relative to the production possibility frontier? 3. What is the opportunity cost of increasing the annual output of corn from 800 to 1000 pounds? Unit 2 [Microeconomics] 4. What is the opportunity cost of increasing the annual output of corn from 200 to 400 pounds? 5. Can you explain why the answers to parts 3. and 4. above are not the same? What does this imply about the slope of the production possibility frontier? --------------------References: Unit 2 [Microeconomics] Grading Rubric Microeconomics: Unit 2 Assignment: PPF and Opportunity Costs Content Points Possib le Draw production possibility frontier (PPF) 3 Analyze feasible/infeasible production 2 Compute opportunity cost of increasing annual products 6 Explain the slope of the production possibility frontier 2 Analysis Work demonstrates synthesis of concepts, research, and experience 3 Work demonstrates the student’s ability to tie relevant information to real-life applications. 2 Analysis exceeds basic comprehension to demonstrate higher-order thinking. 2 Writing Skills Correct use of APA 6th edition format, all sources used to support the paper are referenced 2 Sentences are clear, concise, and direct; tone is appropriate, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct. 3 Total 25 Points Earned
