Suppose that a simple society has an economy with only one resource, labor. Labor can be used to produce only two commodities ax

isX, 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, and so on).a. On a graph, draw the economy axis ppf. Where does the ppf intersect the Y-axis? Where does it intersect the X-axis? What meaning do those points have?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 axis's production will be divided. If you were a dictator, how would you decide? What would happen if you left product distribution to the free market?

Answer:

a, The PPF intersect the Y-axis at 1000 units of luxury goods

   The PPF intersect the X-axis at 500 units of necessity good

    It means that when the society produces zero units of necessity, it can          produce 1000 units of luxury goods and if they use all resources to produce necessity, they can produce 500 units only

b. The economy can produce at a point inside the curve IF (1) There is underutilized of the available resources. (2) There is inefficiency in the use of resources  

c. I will want to produce more necessity than luxury. The decision on which point the society will want to be depend on the type of economic system being practiced by my society, if it is free market, the price system will determine it and for a socialist system, the government decides.

d. If I am a dictator, I will make decrees as to the economic direction I want for the society and where the product distribution is left to the free market, the price system decides.

Explanation:

The production possibility frontier is a graph that shows the trade-off between two commodities which a country can be assumed to produce. An economy can operate on the PPF in which case it is using its resources to the fullest. It can operate inside the curve which means under-utilization of resources or inefficiency in resources utilization. A country cannot operate outside the curve except there is technological progress or economic growth.

When a competitive market is in​ equilibrium, what is the economically efficient level of​ output? A. any output level where mar
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. the output level where marginal cost is equal to marginal benefit .

Explanation:

Competitive equilibrium Traditional concept of economic equilibrium used for the analysis of  goods markets with flexible prices and many agents, which usually serve as a benchmark for efficiency in economic analysis. Crucially, it depends on the assumption of a context in which each agent makes decisions about such a small amount compared to the total amount traded in the market that their individual transactions have no influence on prices.

It consists of a price system and an allocation of the production and consumption of the economy among the various agents, such that, given the prices, each agent maximizing its objective function (benefits, preferences) subject to restrictions (technological, of resources) plans to trade its share in the proposed allocation, at prices that make all exchanges compatible with each other by balancing the markets, that is, matching the aggregate supply with the demand  aggregate of each of the goods and services traded.

John discovered his company's accountant was "skimming" money from the business. The accountant agreed to pay John a one-time pa
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

There are no options listed, but what I can tell you for sure is that John's actions were both unethical and illegal.

What John did is unethical because it is not moral and it goes against all the principles that guide professional conduct. John also did something illegal because he was an accomplice in committing fraud against the company. He knowingly benefited from the accountant's illegal actions, and that is basically the legal definition of an accomplice to a crime.
