Suppose an economy (Home) produces only two goods- Magnets and Neckties. Both goods require both capital and labour to produce. Assume capital and labour cannot be substituted for one another in the production process. The economy has 600 units of capital and 800 units of labour available. It takes 4 units of labour and 2 units of capital to make each Magnet and 2 units of labour and 6 units of capital to make each Necktie
Problem 2
Now suppose the total quantity of capital available in the economy increases from 600 to 1200 units.
a) Graph the economy’s original PPF and the new PPF, with Magnets on the x-axis and Neckties on the y-axis.
b) Assuming the economy produces both Magnets and Neckties, calculate the quantity of each good that will be produced.
