Figure 1.1 - Production Possibilities and Opportunity Costs: Linear Model versus Non-Linear Model In the linear production possibilities model,we assume each of five equally-sized parcels of land contributes the same to the production of food and timber: 6 units of timber or 3 units of food.
By contrast,in the non-linear model,we will assume that there are five different types of land in equal-sized plots and that each plot may contribute as follows to the production of
-Assuming all land is equally productive in either use,how much output of each type will be produced with 2/5 of the land in timber production and 3/5 of the land in food production?

Question

Figure 1.1 - Production Possibilities and Opportunity Costs: Linear Model versus Non-Linear Model  In the linear production possibilities model,we assume each of five equally-sized parcels of land contributes the same to the production of food and timber: 6 units of timber or 3 units of food.
By contrast,in the non-linear model,we will assume that there are five different types of land in equal-sized plots and that each plot may contribute as follows to the production of 
-Assuming all land is equally productive in either use,how much output of each type will be produced with 2/5 of the land in timber production and 3/5 of the land in food production?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With 2/5 of the land in timber production, 2/5 * 15 = 6 units of timber will be produced. With 3/5 of the land in food production, 3/5 * 15 = 9 units of food will be produced.
