Exercise 7
Suppose the production possibility frontier for guns (X) and butter (Y) is given by X 2 + 2Y 2 = 900
a. Graph this frontier.
b. If individuals always prefer consumption bundles in which Y = 2X, how much X and Y will be produced?
c. At the point described in part b, what will be the slope of the production possibility frontier, and what price ratio will cause production to take place at that point? (Hint: By using the approach in the numerical examples in this chapter, show that the slope of this production possibility frontier is -X/2Y.) d. Show your solution on the figure from part a.
