Respuesta :
A) the total production of Malaysia would be 60 tons of rice and 150 ft3 of lumber, and the total production of Canada would be 100 tons of rice and 100 ft3 of lumber; B) the production of rice would fall by 6 tons and the production of lumber would rise by 15 ft3; and C) Canada's lumber production would fall by 10 ft3.
Supposing Malaysia's production possibilities include a maximum of 120 units of rice or 300 units of lumber, and Canada's production possibilities include a maximum of 200 units of rice or 200 units of lumber, and supposing each country initially allocates 50% of its labor to producing each product, to determine A) the total production by the two countries equals tons of rice and ft3 of lumber, B) now supposing that Malaysia increases the labor it allocates to lumber by 10%, the number by which its lumber production rises by and its rice production falls by, and C) if Canada allocates its labor to increase its rice production by exactly the amount that Malaysia's rice production fell, by how much must its lumber production fall, the following calculations should be performed:
A)
- 120 x 0.5 = 60
- 300 x 0.5 = 150
- 200 x 0.5 = 100
B)
- 50 x 1.1 = 55
- 120 x 0.45 = 54
- 300 x 0.55 = 165
C)
- 200 x 0.55 = 110
- 200 x 0.45 = 90
Therefore, A) the total production of Malaysia would be 60 tons of rice and 150 ft3 of lumber, and the total production of Canada would be 100 tons of rice and 100 ft3 of lumber; B) the production of rice would fall by 6 tons and the production of lumber would rise by 15 ft3; and C) Canada's lumber production would fall by 10 ft3.
