Answer:
PPF will rotate rightward by technological breakthrough in making cloth only
Explanation:
PPF is the graphical representation of two goods, that an economy can produce with given resources & technology.
If there is a technological breakthrough in only one good (cloth here) in economy (US here). The new PPF shift outward (rightwards or upwards) only on the axis representing that particular good (on x or y axis respectively). As cloth is on x axis, the PPF will rotate rightward by technological breakthrough in making cloth only.
Yes, on new rightward rotated PPF also, cloth & tea can be traded off, but at an altered slope & marginal opportunity cost (sacrifise ratio).

Answer: Hi your question is incomplete attached below are the missing details
answer :
A) 16 used DVDs
B) i) $18
ii) $6
iii) $8
Explanation:
<u>A) Determine the weekly shortage of used DVDs due to ceiling price = $11</u>
shortage = Quantity demanded ( H ) - Quantity supplied ( F )
at ceiling price of $11 ; quantity demanded = 20 , Quantity supplied = 4
= 20 - 4 = 16 used DVDs
B) i) <em>New consumer surplus = ADLK </em>
ADLK = ∠ ABK + BKLD
= 1/2 * 4 * 1 ) + ( 15 - 11 )*4 = $18
<em>ii) New producer surplus = DLE </em>
DLE = 1/2 * 4 * ( 11-8 )
= $6
<em> iii) Total economic surplus lost </em>
ΔKJL = 1/2 ( 8 - 4 ) * ( 15 - 11 )
= $8
