Question

As a student, Anne spends 40 hours per week writing term papers and completing homework assignments. On one axis of her production possibilities frontier is measured the number of term papers written per week. On the other axis is measured the number of homework assignments completed per week. Anne’s production possibilities frontier is a straight line if?

Answer 1

Answer:

she can switch between writing term papers and completing homework assignments at a constant rate.  

Explanation:

            Anne who is a student writes term papers and also does homework assignments. She usually spends 40 hours per week to do all these work.

            If her work can be represented graphically, one axis measures the number of terms of paper Anne has done in one week and the other axis represents the number of assignments work She had completed in a week.

            Now, Anne’s production possibilities frontier will represent a straight line when if Anne switches between doing  homework assignments and writing term papers at a constant rate.

           Thus the graph shows a straight line when both the work or processes are done at a constant rate together.

Therefore, the answer is ---

she can switch between writing term papers and completing homework assignments at a constant rate.
