Answers

Answer 1
1)B. Because they have more land now
2)A. Because they have less land now
Shifts right means more supply or demand while left means less
Answer 2

Answer:

1) B

2) A

Explanation:

Production possibility curves (PPC) shows the combination of two commodities that can be made given a certain amount of resources.  

1)  In statement 1, since the land available has increased the company can make more of BOTH apartments and stores. In this case the amount of resource (land) has increased causing the PPC to shift to the right.

2)  Contrary to statement 1, a portion of land is now unusable. Hence it can’t be used to make either apartments or stores on it, at all. The reduction in resource (land) has reduced the amount of BOTH apartments and stores that can be made, causing the PPC to shift to the left.

A car starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches 70 mi/hr in a distance of 220 ft, at which time the clutch is disengaged. The car then slows down to a velocity of 40 mi/hr in an additional distance of 480 ft with a deceleration which is proportional to its velocity. Find the time t for the car to travel the 700 ft. The position of a ship traveling due east along a straight line is s(t) = 12t2 + 6. In this example, time t is measured in hours and position s is measured in nautical miles. We will take s = 0 to be the port of Wilmington, NC and the positive direction to be east. How far east of Wilmington is the ship and how fast is it going after one hour, that is, when t = 1? 1.
