Answer and Explanation:
Economic Growth can be defined as an increment in production capacity of an economy using all its available resources. The PPF illustrates the largest possible quantity of goods and services a nation can produce base on its available resources. An outward shift in the economy’s production possibility frontier (PPF) depicts a raise in productive capacity of an economy. An outward shift implies that an economy has capacity to increase its production outputs. This can be as a result of the economy employing new technology, allowing specialization, increasing its labour force, using new production approaches etc. Likewise, an inward shifting PPF implies an economy has witness a loss or exhaustion of some of its scarce resources and it will culminate into reduction in an economy’s productive potential.
Effects of saving and investment upon national GDP
level of savings direct related to the level of investment, investment feeds on available finance from saving. If more people save, the banks will be able to lend more to firms to support their investments.
low savings and investment implies a PPF inward shift. low savings in economy implies that the economy is opting for short-term consumption over long-term investment, and this will lead to future undue pressure on available infrastructures ad resources.
spending on consumer goods vs capital goods effect on the economy
In the short run, the economy must prefer using available resources to produce capital rather than consumer goods. Standards of living will be affected, as private consumption will have access to fewer resources. However, in the longer run, the raised production of capital goods will boost the production of more consumer goods ad therefore standards of living will experience more increase than they would have witness if the economy had spent most of its income on consumer goods.

Answer:
b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and
c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
Explanation:
Olives Jeans Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)
Spain 1 3 1:3 or 0.33:1 (1/3 = 0.33)
Denmark 1 11 1:11 or 0.09:1 (1/11= 0.09)
Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other, in Olive & Jeans respectively.
Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.
- '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
- '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans
'4 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:
- 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).
- 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)
