Question 4) Suppose that Australia can only produce two products: cars and wheat. The following table shows the different amounts of outputs Australia can produce. (All numbers below are simplified to make calculations easier). Cars Wheat
(in tonnes)
1,000 0
500 200
400 240
0 400

a. Draw the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF) for the economy of Australia
b. Based on data from the above table, what is the opportunity cost of producing one car in Australia? What is the opportunity cost of producing one tonne of wheat?
c. Suppose that there has been a technological breakthrough in the car industry in Australia. A maximum of 1,500 cars can be now produced. Meanwhile, things remain the same for wheat production. Draw the new PPF (after the advancement in technology). Compare between the new PPF and the original PPF.
d. In the real world, a typical PPF is usually not a straight line but a concave (bowed out) curve. Use the concept of increasing marginal opportunity cost to explain why PPFs are usually concave curves

The monthly sales for yazici​ batteries, inc., were as​ follows: month jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sept oct nov dec sales 19 20 17 12 11 18 16 17 19 22 21 24 this exercise contains only parts b and c. ​b) the forecast for the next month​ (jan) using the naive method​ = nothing sales ​(round your response to a whole​ number). the forecast for the next period​ (jan) using a​ 3-month moving average approach​ = nothing sales ​(round your response to two decimal​ places). the forecast for the next period​ (jan) using a​ 6-month weighted average with weights of 0.10​, 0.10​, 0.10​, 0.20​, 0.20​, and 0.30​, where the heaviest weights are applied to the most recent month​ = nothing sales ​(round your response to one decimal​ place). using exponential smoothing with alpha ​= 0.40 and a september forecast of 21.00​, the forecast for the next period​ (jan) = nothing sales ​(round your response to two decimal​ places). using a method of trend​ projection, the forecast for the next month​ (jan) = nothing sales ​(round your response to two decimal​ places). ​c) the method that can be used for making a forecast for the month of march is ▾ a 3-month moving average a 6-month weighted moving average exponential smoothing the naive method a trend projection .

The following transactions occur for badger biking company during the month of june: a. provide services to customers on account for $32,000. b. receive cash of $24,000 from customers in (a) above. c. purchase bike equipment by signing a note with the bank for $17,000. d. pay utilities of $3,200 for the current month. analyze each transaction and indicate the amount of increases and decreases in the accounting equation. (decreases to account classifications should be entered as a negative.)
